Gaelic pupils 'do well' in school



Pupils learning Gaelic "match and better" their peers in other

It said figures compiled from SQA exam results showed more credit
level awards were attained in the language than for English.



The council said youngsters taking Gaelic medium education also
performed well at maths.
