“Gu sònraichte, nì ar plana cinnteach gun cùm SQA a thaic chudtromach ri prìomh amasan Bhòrd na Gàidhlig, 's e sin, leudachadh foghlaim tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig, foghlam luchd-ionnsachaidh òg sna sgoiltean agus foghlam Gàidhlig do dh' inbhich."

Gaelic Language Plan

Callanish Standing StonesThe Gaelic Language Act of 2005 and the National Plan for Gaelic are of fundamental importance in enabling SQA and its partner organisations to plan successfully for a sustainable future for the language, not just in Scotland but on the international stage.

SQA Chief Executive, Dr Janet Brown said:

"I am very pleased to announce the launch of our Gaelic Language Plan. The plan seeks to support and recognise Gaelic speakers and learners of all ages as they positively engage with Scotland's education and qualifications system. The success of our plan depends very much on continuing and enhancing the strong partnership between SQA and our delivering centres and on the close, positive collaboration with our partner agencies.

"In particular, our plan ensures that SQA will continue to play an integral part in supporting Bòrd na Gàidhlig's key national priorities of expanding Gaelic-medium education, Gaelic learner education in schools and Gaelic education for adults".

SQA recognises the importance of supporting the aspirations and objectives included in the National Plan for Gaelic and the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005. A key part of this is the development of its Gaelic Education Strategy. SQA is working across the four national aims for Gaelic which are Language Acquisition, Usage, Status and Corpus. As well as offering qualifications in Gaelic to learners and fluent speakers, SQA is committed to a planned expansion of subjects and levels as Gaelic Medium candidate numbers increase.

Currently, SQA offers four Standard Grade examinations in the medium of Gaelic; Geography, History, Mathematics and Modern Studies. The SQA’s Gaelic Language Plan can be accessed via www.sqa.org.uk/gaelic and hard copies can be requested from our customer contact centre on 0345 279 1000.
