A Gaelic education could be offered to Dundee pupils by 2020 despite no city parents saying they would like to take up the opportunity for their children.
Bilingual teaching is currently given to nine pupils in Angus Council’s Gaelic Medium Education Unit.
The scheme could be extended into Dundee if amended plans for the language are approved.
The revised plan is expected to be agreed by councillors on Monday, even though no local parents appear keen to take advantage.
The council is asked to consider additional training for staff while they work with Angus Council to deliver the bilingual education.
A spokesman for Angus Council said there are currently nine children being taught in the Gaelic medium class at Whitehills Primary School.
They are taught solely in Gaelic until P5 when they start a mix of English and Gaelic.
The school is also set to introduce the language to pre-school classes this year after taking on a new Gaelic teacher.
Parents or guardians from outwith Angus are required to make a placing request if they want their child to attend.
Considering a similar bilingual education is among the changes proposed by the Gaelic language body in response to Dundee City Council’s Gaelic language plan.
The council is also being asked to make more use of Gaelic in its cultural events, and commit to “demonstrating equal respect” for Gaelic and English, in its bilingual resources.
If and when the council rebrands itself, its corporate logo and letterheads should also be altered to be bilingual.
It is also suggested that, where there is a need for bilingual meetings, interpreters should be provided and this service should be advertised, despite members of the Gaelic speaking community in Dundee stating they would not make such a request.
The Bord na Gaidhlig receives Scottish Government funding to promote the historic language and tasked local authorities to prepare their own plans.
A Dundee City Council spokesman said: “We have not entered into formal discussions with neighbouring council areas. There have been no requests from parents in relation to the provision of Gaelic education.
“However, we will consider all requests in light of the Gaelic Action Plan, if it is approved.”
The council has stated the plans will not impact city taxpayers as it intends to apply for grants via the Gaelic Language Plans Implementation Fund to help meet any costs.
The council must now submit a revised plan for approval in September.
