3.3. What factors affect parents/guardians and learners’ decisions on taking up late immersion education in Welsh at different stages of 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.
