(asked on 7th October 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to facilitate the learning of the Welsh language by pupils in England.
This question was answered on 17th October 2016
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 enter them. This will include a revised Welsh Second Language GCSE available for first teaching from September 2017.
