I had to gain a university degree in Gaelic along with another subject.
If you want to teach a subject through Gaelic,
you need a degree in that subject,
but also when you go to Jordanhill or wherever you do your teacher training,
you have to make sure you receive
the appropriate teacher training for that course,
or the subject you want to teach.
I studied Geography,
which means I can teach Geography at any level,
in English or Gaelic,
but I can also teach social subjects, such as Modern Studies and History,
to first and second-year level,
again through either English or Gaelic,
and this school gives me the opportunity
to teach first and second years in English and Gaelic.
It's a bonus for the school, as they have an extra teacher they can use
because as I'm not restricted to Gaelic classes,
and hence I get an overview of the subject throughout the school
with class sizes ranging from 30 pupils,
all the way down to small Gaelic classes with perhaps only 15 pupils.
