DVD introduced for Scottish early years teachers
September 02 2010
A new DVD has been developed to help Gaelic early years teachers make the most of the Curriculum for Excellence.
"Children learning Gaelic in the earliest years of their education have the best opportunity to be able to use the language in every day life. That's why this is a key part of our drive to increase the number of young Gaelic speakers and ensure the language thrives," said the country's education secretary Michael Russell.
The resource includes ideas on how to teach the language in nurseries using meaningful play-based learning and activities.
The Curriculum for Excellence is designed to offer a joined-up approach to learning for children between the ages of three and 18, Mr Russell added.
In related news, ministers in Scotland earlier this week gave the go ahead to the merger of three colleges in Glasgow.
The Nautical, Central and Metropolitan Colleges will now be known as the City of Glasgow College.
