Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:06 pm on 4 October 2017.
Minister, in a statement back in April, which referred, at least in part, to promoting the use of the Welsh language, you explained how you’d like to focus on co-ordinating and commissioning practical support to facilitate the use of the Welsh language amongst small businesses. Now, about £4 million from the main education budget came to the Welsh language budget this year towards education support, and I wonder if it’s clear yet whether preparing young people for using Welsh in the workplace, which is obviously the best support of all that you can give, is being supported through the education system, via the Welsh baccalaureate, information technology training, or, most importantly of all, embedding the use of Welsh in vocational courses for front-facing careers.
