2.2. What approaches could help engage families not using Welsh-medium childcare and early years education, to promote and support their access to Welsh-medium compulsory education?
Background
Cymraeg 2050 sets a target to reach one million Welsh speakers by 2050. A key part of achieving this goal is promoting the intergenerational transmission of the language. The strategy also recognises the vital role of the early years and compulsory education sectors in providing opportunities for children and young people to acquire or learn Welsh. Also essential is facilitating opportunities to acquire or further develop Welsh language skills later in life—through post-compulsory education and training, in the workplace, and via other networks.
