As an amendment to motion S4M-03004 in the name of Alasdair Allan (Why Languages Matter, Improving Young People’s Opportunities), leave out from "supports" to end and insert "acknowledges the decline in language course take-up in secondary schools; recognises that developing language skills from an early age is best supported by well-trained teachers and language assistants; notes that the numbers of both have reduced significantly since 2007, and calls on the Scottish Government to identify how any future roll-out of the proposed pilot projects would be funded to allow all young people to start learning a second language from primary 1."
