English or Scotish/Welsh Gaelic?
|
Hi everybody!
Does anybody know what language(s) school children are taught at Scottish/Welsh schools? Is it English or Scottish/Welsh Gaelic? Or both? And in Northern Ireland?  |

In Scotland it depends. Most main stream schools teach in English although Gaelic is sometimes taught as a second language , but there are a few Gaelic medium schools - mostly but not exclusively in the highlands of Scotland. |

Most Welsh schools teach mainly in English, but children have obligatory Welsh lessons from the day they start school. I think that there must be schools which use Welsh as the first language - I guess it depends on where you live in Wales. |
