HC Deb 08 April 1987 vol 114 cc273-4W
16. Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make it his policy to retain secondary teacher training in Gaelic at Jordanhill college of education.

Mr. John MacKay

Following consultations last year on the rationalisation of postgraduate secondary pre-service teacher training courses, I decided that for the academic sessions 1987–88 to 1989–90 Gaelic should be offered alternately by the Northern and Jordanhill colleges of education. Provision for that subject will accordingly require to be maintained by both colleges.
