Gaelic Medium Education in the Western Isles celebrates twenty successful years this summer. Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s education department is holding an exhibition in the Lanntair gallery during local Mod week on 7th, 8th and 9th of June. The exhibition is titled Fichead is Fallain and will display contributions of art work and writing from the various schools. There will be a special “Where are they Now?” section devoted to the first class from Breasclete School on Lewis in 1986, and in the following weeks there will be an art and poetry competition for primary school children. It is hoped that a magazine will be produced later in the year to commemorate this important milestone in Gaelic Medium Education. There are currently 25 Gaelic Medium streams in schools from the Butt to Barra with 494 pupils. Tha Comhairle nan Eilean Siar a’ comharrachadh fichead bliadhna de shoirbheachas am foghlam tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig air an t-samhradh seo. Tha Roinn na Fhoghlaim a’ cumail taisbeanadh anns an Lanntair fhad ’s a tha am Mod ionadail a’ dol air 7mh,8mh agus 9mh Ogmhios. ‘Se Fichead is fallain tiotal an taisbeanaidh agus bidh obair ealain agus sgriobhaidh bho ghrunnan sgoiltean rim faicinn. Bidh earrann sonraichte “Càit a bheil iad a-nis?” ann mun chiad chlas an Sgoil Bhreascleit an Leodhas ann an 1986, agus anns na seachdainean a leanas bidh co-fharpais ealain agus bàrdachd ann do chlann bunsgoile. Tha sùil gum bidh iris a’ tighinn a-mach nas anmoich air a’ bhliadhna airson a’ chlach mhìle shonraichte seo a chomharrachadh. Tha 25 sruthan Foghlam Gàidhlig ann an sgoiltean on Bhuta Leodhasach gu Barraigh le 494 sgoilearan.
