Gaelic teacher advert drive

A NATIONAL campaign to recruit more Gaelic teachers will be launched this weekend.

There have been problems in recruitment, particularly after Highland Council failed in seven attempts to appoint a permanent head for Inverness Gaelic Primary School.

The last advert had not even demanded fluency in Gaelic, but when the acting head applied, parents' representatives opposed her appointment because she could not speak Gaelic.

Contextual targeting label: 
Education
