Text of Petition
Currently, Welsh Language
is compulsory as either first or second language in all state schools in Wales.
However, this does not apply to private schools, who do not have to follow the
national curriculum. In many cases, pupils leave private schools not being able
to speak a word of Welsh. If we are to progress with our language, and want to
reach the government's target of 1 million Welsh speakers by 2050, we must give
every child in Wales the chance to learn. We call on the Welsh Government to:
-Make Welsh Second Language GCSE compulsory in all schools in Wales by law for
the new curriculum in 2022.
