Tha an àireamh de sgoilearan ann am foghlam tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig aig ìre bun-sgoil air meudachadh bho 24 ann an 1985 ann an 2 sgoil gu còrr is 2,000 ann am bliadhna-sgoile 2006-07 ann an 62 sgoiltean. 20 FOGHLAM BUN-SGOIL Tha foghlam tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig sa bhun-sgoil a’ cleachdadh na Gàidhlig airson an ionnsachaidh is teagaisg gu lèir, anns gach cuspair sgoile, agus modhan bogaidh gan cur gu feum ann am P1 agus P2. Mar as tric thathar a’ tòiseachadh air leughadh agus sgrìobhadh sa Bheurla bho P3 ach ’s i Gàidhlig fhathast prìomh chànain a’ chlas tro foghlam na bun-sgoile. Tha foghlam tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig ag amas, le stiùir nàiseanta an Riaghaltais, air clann a thoirt gu fileantachd sa Ghàidhlig agus sa Bheurla mus fàg iad a’ bhun-sgoil. Anns an fharsaingeachd tha foghlam tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig air a lìbhrigeadh ann an roinnean Gàidhlig taobh a-staigh sgoiltean Beurla ach tha sgoiltean Gàidhlig cuideachd ann an cuid de sgìrean.
In 1999 a report by Prof. Richard Johnstone of Stirling University concluded that ‘…pupils receiving Gaelic medium primary education, whether or not Gaelic was the language of the home, were not being disadvantaged in comparison with children educated through English. In many though not all instances they outperformed English medium pupils and in addition gained the advantage of having become profi cient in two languages.’ PRIMARY EDUCATION The number of pupils who are in Gaelic medium education at primary school level has risen from 24 in 1985 in 2 schools to over 2,000 in the school year 2006-2007 in 62 schools. Gaelic medium education in the primary school involves the use of the Gaelic language for all learning and teaching, across all subjects in the curriculum, using immersion methods in P1 and P2. English reading and writing are generally introduced from P3 but the principal language of the classroom is Gaelic throughout primary. The aim of Gaelic medium education, through the government’s national guidelines, is to take children to the same level of fl uency in Gaelic and English by the time they leave primary school. In most instances Gaelic medium education is delivered in Gaelic medium departments within English medium schools but some areas now have Gaelic medium schools. 21
