Introduction  \n1.1 This Advice provides important information on the national context and describes best practice to support practitioners and local authorities in evaluating and planning for improvement in Gaelic Education.  \n1.2 This Advice is based on evidence from inspections, reviews and validated selfevaluation, covering all sectors of Gaelic Education, and other engagements with a wide range of stakeholders. HM Inspectors will use the Advice in inspections; to support professional dialogue and learning when engaging with practitioners; and asan agenda for discussion with partners.  \n1.3 HM Inspectors are committed to working in partnership with stakeholders to achieve high-quality provision for Gaelic Education. Key areas to focus on will be the need to ensure suitably qualified teachers, and resources to support learning and teaching. The Advice will continue to be updated and added to over time. HM Inspectors will continue to add information about Gaelic to Parentzone so that parents are also aware of what they can expect from Gaelic Education.  \n1.4 Gaelic Education has three inter-related components. These are:  \n􀁸 Gaelic Medium Education (GME);  \n􀁸 Gaelic Learner Education (GLE); and  \n􀁸 the promotion of Learning about Gaelic Language and Culture (LAGC) as part of Scotland’s identity.  \n2. Gaelic Education: legislation  \n2.1 Legislation and measures have been put in place that have extended and strengthened the development of Gaelic Education. These have included: The Education (Scotland) Act 1980; Specific Grants Regulations; and The Standards in Scotland's Schools Act 2000. The 2000 Act gives parents an entitlement to have their children educated in accordance with their wishes.  \n2.2 The Council of Europe adopted The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages in 1992 to help protect and promote Europe’s lesser-used indigenous languages. The Charter aims to ensure that regional or minority languages are used in education and in the media, to permit and encourage their use in legal and administrative contexts, in economic and social life, for cultural activities and in trans frontier exchanges. The UK Government signed the Charter in 2000 and ratified it in 2001 in respect of Gaelic and Scots. The Charter sets out a series of eight core principles and objectives upon which signatory states are encouraged to base their policies, legislation and practice, and which are regarded as providing the necessary framework for the preservation of the languages concerned.  \n2.3 The Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 aims to secure the status of Gaelic as an official language of Scotland, commanding equal respect to the English language. The Act builds on existing measures to support the rights of Gaelic and other lesser used languages, including: the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Persons belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities (1992); the Council of Europe’s European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (1992); Framework Convention of the P","cbCaijiRY91P4Jky","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijiRY91P4Jky","pdf",982144,45,"English","# Introduction\n## Gaelic Education components and purposes\n# Gaelic Education: legislation\n## Education rights and statutory frameworks\n## European and international language protection\n# Gaelic Medium Education (GME)\n## Engagement with parents\n## Career-long professional learning\n## Total immersion and phases\n## Secondary stages and language fluency\n## Transitions\n# GME: curriculum approaches and Gaelic ethos\n## 1 + 2 Approach to Language Learning\n## Ethos for Gaelic\n## Learners with additional needs\n# Gaelic Learner Education (GLE)\n## Curriculum 3-18 and 1+2 approach\n# Learning about Gaelic language and culture","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Advice on Gaelic Education?\",\"answer\":\"It provides information on the national context and best practice to support practitioners and local authorities in evaluating and planning for improvement in Gaelic Education.\"},{\"question\":\"Which three inter-related components does the Advice identify?\",\"answer\":\"Gaelic Medium Education (GME), Gaelic Learner Education (GLE), and Learning about Gaelic Language and Culture (LAGC) as part of Scotland’s identity.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Advice describe its evidence base?\",\"answer\":\"It is based on evidence from inspections, reviews, validated self-evaluation across all sectors, and other engagements with a wide range of stakeholders.\"}]","Advice on Gaelic Education - Updated March 2022 | PDF",1792048230,113]
