Manx Gaelic lessons offered to all students

All government run schools on the Isle of Man offer lessons in Manx Gaelic. That’s according to the Education, Sport and Culture Minister who says they’re available from Key Stage 2 onwards.

Graham Cregeen was quizzed on the topic by Garff MHK Daphne Caine who wanted to know more about the Manx language.

In a written Tynwald question he confirmed that 19 pupils took the GCSE equivalent in Manx in the school year 2017/18. Of these three pupils received an A* and, six received an A and two received a B. Two pupils took the A-Level equivalent recording one A* and one A grade.
