We’re considering at present how we’re going to divvy up that money in the future, but I do agree with the points that have been made. Boosting the use of the Welsh language is just as important as learning or teaching Welsh. We do want to ensure that we are collaborating with the mentrau iaith to ensure that people have opportunities to use and speak and improve their Welsh, particularly in areas where Welsh isn’t used on the street per se. Also, we want to see Mudiad Meithrin being able to provide provision and opportunities for children who want Welsh-medium provision where that’s possible.

We have to find a balance between learning or teaching Welsh and learning or teaching through the medium of Welsh and the use of Welsh. The use of Welsh is something that we probably haven’t discussed enough recently, but certainly it’s going to be a key part and a central part of the strategy that we will publish next year.
