Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of education'

Comann nam Pàrant (CnP), means 'Parents’ Organisation', and consists of a network of around 30 local groups, representing the interests of parents whose children are educated through the medium of Gaelic at the various levels, from pre-school to secondary level. The main aim of all CnP groups is 'to promote and support the establishment and maintenance of education through the medium of Gaelic'. It was as a result of the efforts of parents that Gaelic medium education (GME) first began in 1985. The umbrella body, Comann nam Pàrant (Nàiseanta), was set up in 1994 as a direct response to parental request. All areas with local CnP groups are able to be represented on the national committee, thus ensuring that all parents can have a voice at national level. The organisation represents the views of parents with children in GME at national and local level on matters relating to education and Gaelic language development.

Objectives: To advance education through the medium of the Gaelic language
