Me please!

Sorry my mistake, i thought you were speculating on languages spoken by Glaswegian pupils! Totally misread! Sorry!
On another note, had no idea his 1st wife was Irish…

It is… immensely unlikely as Glasgow is not in Ireland and it will have a tiny Irish-speaking community. Gaelic (the Scottish version) is growing in Glasgow but far from a third of the population & not a 1st language.

English as an additional language (EAL) Refers to pupils for whom English is a second or additional language.

While I don’t disagree with your sentiment, David, the DfE doesn’t have anything to do with Scottish schools. Here is ScotGov pupil census definition.
