Will English students soon begin talking with a Scottish burr? One wonders following this announcement that the Heriot-Watt SCHOLAR programme, currently used in all 432 Scottish secondary schools, will be deployed south of Hadrian's wall as well.

It is also reported to have strong acceptance by both students and teachers. The release notes that use is highest during the 7-9 prime time on television, but one suspects that this may be due to the quality of television or (mopre likely) the tendency of students to multitask.
