Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:13 pm on 22 June 2021.
I'm aware that across the whole of Wales, there are a number of children from non-Welsh-speaking households who do undertake Welsh-medium education, and I welcome that. It's an important part of the plans that we have. Here in Cardiff, eight out of 10 children who access Welsh-medium education come from non-Welsh-speaking households. The schools do work hard, with the resources that we've been able to prepare for them, to assist people who are non-Welsh-speaking but want to be involved with the school—for example, as a school governor—to do that in an effective manner, and they've managed to do it. We already have examples of how that can be done. In collaboration with local authorities and in learning from what has worked across Wales, I am confident that we can find ways for people who want to be involved in school life to do that, and make an effective contribution, too.
