Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:48 pm on 11 January 2017.
Following on from Sian Gwenllian’s question to Alun Davies a little earlier, I too have been looking at the WESPs in the ERW area, and particularly in the Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend areas. I have to say that the targets proposed as part of those plans are extremely disappointing. I don’t think we can overemphasise the undermining that’s happening here. If you’re expecting to achieve a million Welsh speakers by halfway through this century, then you truly have to reform these plans and strategies because, at the end of the day, there’s virtually no vision here in enhancing the capacity of Welsh-medium primary schools in these areas. I would urge you most urgently, Minister, to review and change that.
