NEWS FROM THE CELTIC LEAGUE
An appeal for support has been issued by the Gaelic Medium support group Comann Nam-Pàrant - Inbhir Nis:
They ask:
Can you help us?
The Highland Council are considering appointing a non Gaelic speaking Head Teacher to a permanent post at Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Inbhir Nis.
As parents we believe that a permanent fluent Gaelic Head Teacher is essential for our school because:
? It is essential for our children who are the future of Gaelic
? Gaelic medium education should embrace and include all aspects of Gaelic culture not just the language
?Total immersion creates fluent, capable and confident Gaelic speakers, nurtured in a totally Gaelic environment
? Gaelic deserves a high status in the school and to be respected by all
? It sets a precedent for other Gaelic medium schools not only in the Highlands but across Scotland
We ask you to please consider the points above, and to help us secure a Gaelic Speaking Head Teacher, thank you.
