P-06-1329 Set an ambition and a clear timetable to give every child in the country Welsh-medium education
This
petition was submitted by Luke Johns, having collected a total of 1,505
signatures.
Text of Petition:
We believe the Welsh
Government should include in upcoming legislation a statutory aim that every
young person in Wales will be educated through the medium of Welsh, building up
to this over time, to ensure more and more young people in the future become
fluent and confident in the language.
Additional Information:
We believe that Welsh
belongs to all the people of Wales, and that everyone, whatever their
background, has the right to the language.
The evidence shows that
the way to ensure young people become fluent in the language is Welsh-medium
education, but only around 20% of young people are given this opportunity at
present.
We believe there should be
significant and sustained growth in Welsh-medium education, building up to
universal Welsh-medium provision to ensure access to the language for all young
people.
