A STUDY of the demand for Gaelic educational needs in the Capital is being commissioned by the city council.
In response to questions from Tory councillor Gordon Buchan about the provision of a Gaelic medium secondary school in Edinburgh, education leader Marilyne MacLaren said: "The council is in the process of commissioning work to forecast demand for Gaelic medium education/learning provision in the city.
"This will provide robust data to inform our Gaelic language plan and give direction to the development of both primary and secondary education in Gaelic.
"There are approximately 300 children receiving Gaelic as a modern language in primary school each year."
