From the Senedd - received yesterday 18/7/24:
The Welsh Parliament’s Children, Young People and Education Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the general principles of the Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill.
The main objective of the Bill is to aim to ensure that all pupils reach the end of compulsory school age as independent Welsh language users. This will help contribute to the Welsh Government’s aim of ensuring one million Welsh speakers in Wales by 2050. The aim is for all pupils to develop oral skills equivalent to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Further information on the Bill can be found on the Bill website.
Invitation to contribute:
To help the Committee’s work, a consultation has been launched today. Information on how to contribute is available to the Bill consultation page. The consultation will close at 17:00 on 11 October 2024. Please note that it will not be possible to consider responses received after this date.
Please feel free to share this email with others who may be interested in our consultation.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch by email.
