Learning another language is one of the best ways to invest in our workforce, learn from other cultures and, in the case of Gaelic, preserve our own rich history.
I thank the staff, students and union members who have fought to protect the languages department at Aberdeen, and I urge that talks continue with university management for a constructive resolution.
The SNP model for University funding is broken, harming education and is a threat to our future economy and culture. We are reliant on international students as the SNP have not increased the funding per Scottish student for 14 years – that is unsustainable.
