Education continuing to fail under Labour control in Wales

[Dr Tim Muff]

Welsh kids have serious amounts of study/learning diverted to the promotion of the Welsh language. Given that time - especially at this age - is of vital importance, isn't it reasonable to expect performance in other subjects to suffer? English kids, effectively, have more lesson time than Welsh kids (in subjects that are not Welsh!) because they are not subject to compulsory Welsh.
Or have I missed something?

So, a WG policy, compulsory Welsh, is the problem?

It must have an impact - don't you think?
