Question
What action is the Welsh Government taking to encourage people who have left formal education to learn Welsh?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
The National Centre for Learning Welsh provides opportunities for adults and young people over compulsory school age to learn Welsh. It offers a wide choice of courses and resources to suit all levels and learning styles, varying from online self-study taster courses to intensive advanced level residential courses. £14.930 million is being invested in the National Centre for Learning Welsh for 2024-25.
We’ve also made it possible for all learners 16 – 25 to access free Welsh lessons through the National Centre and have extended the offer to the teaching workforce.
Delivering free Welsh lessons to 16-25 year olds is being carried out in collaboration with Cefin Campbell MS, the Plaid Cymru designated member, as part of the Co-operation Agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru.
