129.Section 43 requires the Scottish Ministers to consider whether to produce information, guidance or documents for use in school education in Scots where that material is produced in English. If an education authority requests a translation of such material, including material produced before the section comes into force, the Scottish Ministers must consider providing that.
130.The duty applies to material produced by the Scottish Ministers (with subsection (3) setting out in more detail what producing material means) which is used in the delivery of school education by teachers or is intended for use by pupils when doing their school work. This might include material relating to topics such as climate change, road safety, personal health and healthy eating which is for use in the context of the classroom.
