Sixth forms play an important and unique part within Welsh-medium education, safeguarding elements of immersion and securing a crucial contribution to the skills of learners who have been taught through the medium of Welsh, and to allow them to contribute to the Welsh language ethos of their schools and to be linguistic and cultural role models for younger pupils. It is crucial that the provisions within the Bill support democratic accountability at a local and national level, and that local models that are appropriate to the needs of communities are allowed. We therefore feel that the amendments made at Stage 2, which relate, for example, to using the term 'restructure' rather than 'rationalise', do meet that need, and that the choices and needs of learners, and particularly Welsh-medium learners, are now safeguarded, as they will be referred to Welsh Ministers where there is valid objection.
