The Gaelic Medium Education (Assessment Requests) (Scotland) Regulations 2016
Section 7(1) of the Education (Scotland) Act 2016 (“the 2016 Act”) provides that a parent of a child under school age may request the education authority in whose area the child is resident to assess the need for Gaelic medium primary education (“GMPE”). Such a request will trigger the assessment process in sections 8 to 13 of the 2016 Act.
