The next item is item 4, today, the 90-second statements, and the first is from Sioned Williams.

Thank you, Llywydd. It gives me great pleasure to call on the Senedd to celebrate the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol's tenth anniversary, and I, as Plaid Cymru spokesperson on post-16 education, wish to congratulate them on their first decade of planning and developing Welsh-language and bilingual provision—provision that is providing valuable opportunities to so many students in our universities, further education colleges and in terms of apprenticeships.

All too recently—indeed, when I was a student—it was only by chance, if the lecturer in your particular field of study happened to be able to speak Welsh, that it was possible to study through the medium of Welsh. But, thanks to the One Wales Government's agreement between Plaid Cymru and the Labour Party, the work of forming the coleg ffederal, as the plan was called, began, which led to the establishment of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol in 2011.

I was working at Swansea University at the time, and I remember clearly the excitement and delight as the work of planning and investing in Welsh-medium provision went ahead. There are now 4,700 students every year who study an element of their degree course through the medium of Welsh. And the coleg's recent work in further education colleges is just as important and exciting. And thanks to the Government's co-operation agreement with Plaid Cymru, the coleg will begin investing in apprenticeships too.

So, happy birthday to the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol, and all the best with the work that is so important to our nation's future.

I'd like to extend my best wishes to the ColegauCymru multi-sport duathlon event that is being held today in Pembrey Country Park, near Llanelli, following an absence of three years due to the pandemic. The event will see over 250 learners and further education staff from eight colleges across the whole of Wales coming together during this inclusive event, with participants attempting either a 6 km tri-duathlon or a full 27.5 km duathlon.

This event has been arranged by ColegauCymru, and has also received support from organisations such as the Welsh Government, Triathlon Wales, Cycling Wales, Coleg Sir Gâr and Carmarthenshire County Council. This event is funded by the Welsh Government to support the further education sector in order to promote physical, mental and emotional well-being amongst young people who have been detrimentally impacted as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

And it is, of course, currently Mental Health Awareness Week, so I'd like to extend my very best wishes to this event, as well as all of those participating in Pembrey today, and, on behalf of the Senedd as a whole, I'd like to recognise the role that events of this kind can play in promoting physical, mental and emotional well-being. Thank you.

The Deputy Presiding Officer (David Rees) took the Chair.
