This Scottish Executive publication says that Gaelic medium education has been an undoubted success story for the language. However, one of the areas which requires further attention to allow Gaelic medium education to expand is the recruitment and supply of Gaelic medium teachers. In recognition of this, the Minister for Education and Young People set up the Teachers’ Action Group to look at the recruitment and supply of Gaelic medium teachers and to make recommendations. 

Gaelic Medium Education has produced, in Scotland, a distinctive and confident Gaelic medium education sector within Scottish education that now can boast of many fine examples of learning and teaching. Above all, this sector is producing young people, at the end of primary education, who are confident and fluent in two languages.
