The successes and challenges of Gaelic-medium education (GME) in Edinburgh will come under the spotlight at a discussion organised by the Gaelic community group Ionad Gàidhlig Dhùn Èideann. GME has grown impressively since it began in 1988 and today more than 700 children are enrolled at the city’s dedicated Gaelic primary school, Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce, and James Gillespie’s High School.
