A while back I contributed a blog in regard to Gaelic in Nova Scotia schools.

Some number of months later, I can now comment directly to the activities which took place as well as the degree of Gaelic language instruction that took place in one specific Core Gaelic Program in Nova Scotia.  I am referring to the Core Gaelic program which was offered at Sgoil Mhic Fhraing a Chaolais this past school year and the success it celebrates today during the closing month of the school year, June, 2011.

Believe it or not, there are a number of schools now in Nova Scotia, particularly in Cape Breton, who are offering courses in the Gaelic language.  These courses are part of the schools’ curriculum and contribute greatly to the preservation of Scottish Gaelic in our tiny communities of Cape Breton while opening the door of opportunity to the youth who are so privileged to attend these educational institutions.
