Teach Scots in our schools
25 February 2009
Scots should be in the curriculum of schools in Scotland (Letters, 23
February) because it is an important indigenous language, and this
should be formally recognised. It was the language of court,
parliament and law for many centuries, and should be restored.
Teaching Scots as part of the curriculum re-establishes its esteem.
It also gives to those who hear, speak, read and write it the
confidence that comes from having one's mother tongue valued and from
being bilingual. The Scots language is intrinsically important, and
the fact that its inclusion in the curriculum is likely also to
improve attainment is a bonus. Scots should have parity of
recognition with English and Gaelic, and Gaelic should also be part
of the curriculum in all Scottish schools (not only Gaelic-medium
ones).
The best way to promote "attainment" is to have a varied and liberal
education which includes all of the child's languages and culture. So
there is a real need for Scots in schools, as of right.
