Something to Think About...
Census seeks ‘lost youth’
The registrar General of Scotland has told MSPs that a worrying 17% of Scotland’s young men were unaccounted for in the most recent National Cenusus. He added that concerted efforts are being made now to engage Scotland’s school pupils to take part in the 2011 survey. School children in Glasgow have been asked to suggest questions for the census and two of the queries that aim to target ‘couch surfers’ will be used in a trial run being run next Spring in the City, West Dumbartonshire and Lochaber.
Student Poll says Glasgow’s best
According to a survey by the internet search engine Yell.com, Students at Glasgow University enjoy a better social life than undergraduates in the rest of Scotland. With its top rated ‘student lifestyle facilities’ such as pubs, clubs and takeaway shops per head of population, Glasgow beat off competition from St Andrews and Edinburgh to secure poll position north of the border and fifth overall in the UK.
More now read and write in Gaelic... but fewer speak it/Gaelic 'thrives and declines' in a decade of contrasts for language
The number of people able to read and write Gaelic has increased despite a continuing decline in speakers of the language, according to figures released yesterday by Scotland's registrar general. Statistics also revealed that Gaelic is breaking out of its traditional heartland of the Highlands and Islands and moving south.
