Gaelic Medium Education

Gaelic Medium Education (GME) is a teaching approach where the Gaelic language is used as the primary medium of instruction for various subjects, rather than just language lessons. It aims to immerse students in Gaelic, fostering fluency and cultural understanding while covering standard curriculum content. GME supports bilingualism and helps preserve the Gaelic language and heritage. Typically offered alongside English-medium education, it encourages learners to become proficient in both languages, benefiting from cognitive, cultural, and community advantages.
