Introduction
Gaelic Medium Education
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar is committed to promoting and developing the Gaelic language which is an integral part of the culture and heritage of the Outer Hebrides .
The Comhairle website offers an opportunity to highlight many aspects of that ongoing work. The Comhairle is also committed to moving towards a bi-lingual website within available resources.
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar launched its revised Gaelic policy at a meeting of the Gaelic Language and Culture Forum on Monday 4 October 2004. The policy sets out the Comhairle's objectives and aspirations for the use and development of the language.
The overall aim of the policy is that the Western Isles should be a bilingual community in which Gaelic and English have equal validity as the languages of communication.
