248 parents responded to @CnPEdinburgh survey. 77% oppose going ahead with the consultation, 86% have little or no confidence the plans would meet the educational needs of their children. More information and better consultation now needed

Strong statement from @CnPEdinburgh re @Edinburgh_CC proposals for #Gaelic education. Statutory consultation seen as premature, promised discussion with parents not held, insufficient time to consider proposals before decisive meeting next Monday mailchi.mp/790fc989c507/upda…

Controversial proposals for the development of #Gaelic-medium education in Edinburgh now published. Many many questions but a key issue is geographical. Proposed secondary locations are 45-60 minutes bus travel time from 2 of the primary sites. Severe disincentive to choose GME

Native Gaelic speakers can be anything they choose, including an academic, as can new speakers, heritage learners, school students - ALL Gaelic speakers are valuable to the health of the language and they all deserve support to speak wherever they are based.
