Ten more schools will move to Welsh language education in Carmarthenshire as part of an updated strategy, a senior councillor said. Cllr Glynog Davies, cabinet member for education and Welsh language, said this would happen over the next 10 years, with four in the first five years.
The council said it would be working with the un-named schools and the wider community before starting any formal process. The revised Welsh in education strategic plan for 2022-32, presented by Cllr Davies, was approved by cabinet and will now be sent to the Welsh Government for consideration.
Cllr Davies said the response to the plan from the Minister for Education and Welsh Language, Jeremy Miles, had been very positive thus far, although "he did want a little bit more meat on the bones". All councils have to submit a Welsh education strategic plan to say how they will achieve Welsh Government outcomes and targets in this area.
