The future is mandarin (or maybe clementine)

It's good to be ambitious. The Scotsman reports:
JACK McConnell is due to launch Scottish Labour's manifesto today, with a promise to teach children modern languages, including Mandarin, from age seven.

I do hope that Mr McConnell will tell us where he will find all these primary school teachers able to teach Mandarin. They don't grow on trees, you know.
