Board Members
It gives me great satisfaction to be involved in providing important support for Gaelic education in my capacity as chair of Stòrlann Nàiseanta na Gàidhlig.
Stòrlann provides essential support to statutory education, not only by providing teaching resources but also through professional development and new practices in learning and teaching.
The aim of the organisation is to develop and improve its services so that the level of provision and quality for Gaelic education will be on an equal footing to our other partners in Scottish education. It is a big challenge but Stòrlann looks forward to being involved.
