Make them bilingual, surely that helps break down language barriers and makes them a true celebration of all things Welsh?
All children are taught Welsh in school. Making an entire phase of schooling only available in one language, especially a minority language in a country, is plain daft. Parents no longer able to help their children, difficulty recruiting enough teaching and support staff to cope, decrease in teaching standards as the pool of teachers from which to employ is significantly reduced, all will lead to a decline in educational standards, but that's fine as long as they're all speaking Welsh? Good grief.
