Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:01 pm on 28 September 2016.
Thank you. Last week, you said, as you’ve repeated today, that Welsh as a second language would not be taught as part of the new curriculum by 2021, and, to replace it, there would be one continuum of Welsh language learning for every pupil. But I’m still not clear about the changes to the qualifications. Can you confirm what was said in the press following the interview on ‘Newyddion 9’, the Welsh language news programme, that is, that you will be replacing Welsh as a second language with one single Welsh qualification that every pupil will have by 2021?
