We come to questions from Ross Greer.

Mr Kerr—I was about to call you Dr Kerr there.

Do you wish to pick up on anything here?

Earlier, we heard about the e-Sgoil online platform, a link to which the clerks have helpfully brought up for me. What is the role of online and distance learning in supporting Gaelic and Scots further and higher education? I will come to Sylvia Warnecke first, as she is nodding away.

Thank you. I formally note apologies from Stephanie Callaghan.

We will move directly to questions from members, and I will bring in Pam Duncan-Glancy first.

That moves us nicely on to Michelle Thomson.

Before I bring in Lydia Rohmer, I know that Ruth Maguire has a supplementary question for you.

I am going to ask a question that is for all four members of the panel, as we start to move into a section on Scots—get ready, Bruce.

How has Gaelic and Scots been supported through the one-plus-two policy approach, and how has that helped? We will start with you, Bruce, if that is okay.

If you wish to submit that information, Dr Munro, we can get it from you after the meeting.

I will now go back to Ross Greer.

Dr Munro, what we are hearing is a wee bit delayed, and I am trying to find an opportunity to intervene. You have spoken about many different things that are happening. How are the impacts of some of those programmes being evaluated in those communities?
