Conference: Sharing the vision – Advice on Gaelic Education

Education Scotland is hosting a conference to share key messages from our recent publication, Advice on Gaelic Education.  This will take place in the Drumossie Hotel, Inverness on 9 June 2015.   The Advice is an important document in that it gives strategic direction to the development of Gaelic Education.  It offers advice on Gaelic Medium Education, Gaelic Learner Education, Curriculum for Excellence and 1+2 Languages Approach.  This year also marks 30 years since the commencement of Gaelic Medium Education and we would like to showcase some of the associated successes.  For more information or to reserve a place at the conference please contact emma.maclennan@educationscotland.gsi.gov.uk   Education Scotland appreciates the support of a range of partners who are contributing to presentations and focus groups.
