The Welsh Government's new Welsh Language Strategy
Inquiry5
The Culture,
Welsh Language and Communications Committee inquired
into the Welsh Government’s proposed welsh language strategy.
Between
August and October 2016 the Welsh Government consulted on their new Welsh
Language Strategy to achieve their stated ambition to have a million Welsh
speakers by 2050.
The
Committee issued a call for written evidence, separate but concurrent to the
one held by the Welsh Government. The aim of the inquiry was to seek to inform
and influence the Government’s new strategy at a formative stage.
The
Committee asked people to write in with their views on improving workforce
planning and support for practitioners for all phases of education and ensuring
a sufficient workforce for Welsh-medium education and teaching as a
subject.
The
Committee asked interested parties for their comments at their meetings between
November 2016 and January 2017.
