Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education — Postponed from 8 November – in the Senedd at 2:15 pm on 15 November 2017.
Well, I think that what we need to look at is success stories in language growth. There are examples in Europe: the Basque Country, for example, has been extremely successful, and I'm sure there are other examples. I will now set about studying those. But what is important is that we keep our eye on this. It's a question of priorities. That is what Nye Bevan used to say—you have to just prioritise things. More important for me than anything else is that we should keep an eye on these 1 million speakers. So, for me, it's more important that we focus on education and what we want to put in place for Welsh education. Of course we have to look at standards. Standards are going to be published, but as regards the priorities, I just want to keep an eye on those.
