Whether it has any plans to phase in policies over the next six to eight years for French to be the only language taught in primary schools…

No. Teacher education institutions must ensure that student primary teachers with the interest and aptitude are trained to teach modern languages in the primary school. The number and variety of languages offered is dependent on the resources available to the institution.All institutions provide French either as a core module of the course or as an elective. The Universities of Dundee and Aberdeen also provide German tuition. The University of Aberdeen hopes to offer Spanish this year as does the University of Glasgow, however the uptake of Spanish at Glasgow has been too low for it to be viable in recent years.
