Of course, I do meet the education Minister regularly to discuss issues related to education and the Welsh language. I know that she is highly aware of the importance of ensuring that children have an opportunity to practice their Welsh language skills during this difficult time. But I would say that guidance has already been provided—not just from Government, but we have also asked headteachers to distribute those resources to children within schools. I am aware, for example, that I, as a parent, have received information through the school as to what resources are available. So, it's good to know that that system is working and that the direction that we have provided has reached those parents. So, I am hopeful that that will develop. Just to say, of course, I do think that all teachers will need to reconsider how they teach virtually, and to see what resources are available to them. Of course, we have to consider that in the Welsh and the English-medium sectors.
