According to the BBC, more and more state school children in the UK are being taught in Welsh, Gaelic or Irish. The number of Northern Ireland children learning Irish grew from just 484 in 1992 to 3285 in 2008. In Wales, 20% of schoolchildren are now being taught entirely in Welsh - up from 16% in the 1990s. And in Scotland, in 1997 just 112 Scottish pupils learned Gaelic. In 2007, 2,601 students were learning it, either in an exclusively Gaelic school, or in a bi-lingual one.
Some experts believe that bilingual children are at an advantage at school, because learning two languages boosts their ability to learn.
Very cool and very interesting! I love what people do with techniques these days.
Most teachers I know just wish the government would stop moving the goal posts.
