YOUNGSTERS at Welsh language schools must have access to Welsh language textbooks, Wales’ education secretary Kirsty Williams has said.
“I have been concerned when told of the lack of availability of Welsh textbooks,” she said.
“I do not expect children who do their exams through the medium of Welsh to be disadvantaged in any way.
“We have worked with WJEC (the Welsh Joint Education Committee) to look at this issue and there are now new practices which have helped to reduce the difference in timescales between the availability of textbooks in English and Welsh."
