That the Parliament welcomes reports that young people in Glasgow whose first language is not English are achieving better results than the school population in general; recognises that nearly one in four pupils have English as an additional language (EAL), which is around 18,000 out of 71,000 pupils; acknowledges that this number has increased from 12% to 26% in the last 10 years; notes that, in 2022, 87.4% of EAL pupils achieved at least one SCQF at level five compared to 83.9% of all pupils; further notes that EAL pupils are also found to have better attendance and fewer exclusions; considers that while, in Glasgow, a minority of bilingual and multilingual learners are new arrivals to the UK, Glasgow City Council enrols hundreds of pupils each month with English as a second language due to humanitarian crises in their home countries, and welcomes this as what it considers to be a clear example of Glasgow’s history of being a haven for displaced people and also of the importance placed on education by young new Scots and their families.
