Section 21 of the Act inserts a new section 16A into the 2016 Act. This allows Bòrd na Gàidhlig to serve a notice on an education authority requiring it to provide information about Gaelic learner education, Gaelic medium education or the teaching of the Gaelic language in its provision of further education. An education authority must comply with the notice.
