Welsh Senedd: Landmark legislation passed to close Welsh language ability gap
The Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill, which was passed by the Senedd today, aims to close the gap in Welsh speaking ability among pupils from different schools.
The Bill aims to make progress towards the 2050 target of a million speakers by strengthening the role of the Welsh language in education, with the overarching goal of ensuring that all pupils of maintained schools in Wales are independent Welsh language users when they leave school.
