Languages Strategic Implementation Group

Overview

The Strategic Implementation Group (SIG) was set up in 2013 to lead the practical implementation of the 1+2 languages policy, chiefly in schools.

The members of the group agreed an implementation plan in December 2016. This plan provides the members with strategic direction and focuses on four priorities:

  • communication and engagement
  • collaboration
  • curriculum
  • professional development

The members also agreed to a set of key messages about the 1+2 languages commitment.

Meeting minutes prior to November 2016 can be found in the archive.
