How does the Minister plan to directly address the concerns that developing Welsh language skills is inconsistent across schools, following the Estyn chief inspector’s annual report?
Ateb
Atebwyd gan Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Last year, I launched a toolkit to further support high standards of oracy and reading in both Welsh and English medium schools and settings.
Estyn is currently undertaking a thematic review on developing Welsh reading skills, which will report in June 2024. This report will inform the next phase of this essential area of work.
We have also published a framework to help English-medium schools and settings develop genuine purpose and authenticity in learning and teaching Welsh in their curriculum.
Local authorities must prepare a Welsh in Education Strategic Plan (WESPs) which details its proposals to improve the planning and standards of the provision of education through the medium of Welsh. I expect to see all local authorities grow their Welsh-medium education provision over the next 10 years – and support those delivering and accessing it.
