That is because more money is pumped into Gaelic medium schools than mainstream state schools.

Patently not true, the schools if anything are underfunded, struggle to find teachers who are specialised in a secondary school subject and speak the language.

Show me your source or justification for your claim and I might consider it.r

and I'm talking about Scotland not NI.

Just one example of many.
Quote..
Gaelic has also come under the spotlight in recent days after it was revealed that education chiefs in Aberdeenshire spent close to £40,000 a year sending seven pupils to Aberdeen to study Gaelic.

Gaelic medium schools like other specialist schools require more funding.
Parents who send their kids there tend to be pushy types believe in the perceived benefits of this type of education.
Anyway Gaelic isn't and never was an indigenous language in mainland Britain.
Gaelic arrived in Britain in much the same way as English, both languages displaced the existing languages such as Brythonic.

Gaelic

Welsh

Waste of time and money teaching children this caper imo

What has your quote got to do with the funding of Gaelic schools in general, it gives no context as to why they spent 50k sending a handful of pupils to a school. Just cherrypicked nothing to try and prove a point… please explain to me how a Gaelic school requires any more funding than an English school?

The teachers aren’t paid more, the facilities aren’t better, the books cost the same … so how exactly does it cost more.

Believe it or not, it’s just a normal school but they speak a different language.

There’s a kernel of truth in the parents of kids that send their kids to Gaelic school thing, but not your reasoning that doesn’t really make any sense… see, yer Sengas don’t send their kids to Gaelic school, parents who have an interest in their children's education and look at league tables send their kids to those schools. They take more of an active role in their kids development. This is the real reason they perform better… whether you like it or not. The schools are open to everyone, it just takes a bit more effort from the parents.

There are several of those.
