School Annual Lecture: Gaelic language and culture in Scottish Education

We are delighted to welcome Professor Boyd Robertson to deliver the Moray House School of Education and Sport Annual Lecture, Gaelic language and culture in Scottish Education.

The lecture considers the place of Gaelic language and heritage in Scottish life with a particular focus on the educational context. It charts the development of Gaelic as a teaching medium and examines the factors that led to its growth in schools across Scotland and the challenges encountered. Mechanisms to support the language and culture are outlined, current issues are identified and factors which might impact future prospects are discussed.
