There is rapid growth in Gaelic medium education in Scotland, particularly in the primary school sector. The contributors to this contemporary survey provide the background to this development by placing Gaelic medium education, GME, in its historical context and also by giving a comparative assessment with other language education practice in Wales and the Basque country.
