Doric plan for Aberdeenshire schoolchildren agreed

Doric is set to be woven into the curriculum in all Aberdeenshire schools as part of plans to better promote the famous north east of Scotland dialect.

A report discussed by councillors said all pupils should develop an understanding of Doric as an integral part of their education.

It suggested that nursery, primary and secondary schools should provide access to Doric books.

Councillors agreed to better promote the dialect. It will not be compulsory.
