Lord Wigley – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Wigley on 2016-10-19.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to make available the teaching of the Welsh language in schools in England.

Lord Nash

Primary and secondary schools can choose to teach the Welsh language to pupils if there is sufficient demand. It is possible for a pupil in England to take privately a Welsh language GCSE offered in Wales if an examination centre is willing to accept them. This will include a revised Welsh Second Language GCSE available for first teaching from September 2017.
