Celebrating Welsh language success
Published: 21/06/2017
天涯社区 has celebrated the success of teachers and classroom
assistants who have completed Welsh courses during the year.
At an Awards Ceremony held at the Beaufort Park Hotel, teachers and classroom
assistants from English medium primary schools across the County received
awards presented by the outgoing Chief Officer for Education and Youth, Ian
Budd and his successor, Claire Homard.
Ian Budd said:
鈥淓vents such as this are important not only to celebrate the success of our
workforce in improving their Welsh language skills but also to consolidate
天涯社区鈥檚 strong commitment to the Welsh language. Through our Welsh in
Education Strategic Plan (WESP), we support people of all ages to improve their
Welsh language skills and to give them the confidence to use the language in
their daily lives.鈥�
The manager of the 天涯社区 Welsh Advisory team, Rhian Roberts, said:
鈥淭raining staff has been high on the team鈥檚 agenda for several years and
continues to be a vital element of our work. It is really important that our
workforce has the necessary language skills to deliver age appropriate and
sufficiently challenging work to pupils. Teachers and classroom assistants
have also taken the opportunity to carry out Welsh Sabbatical courses provided
by Bangor University in conjunction with Welsh Government. We will continue to
work on this priority to ensure that 天涯社区 can meet the challenges of the
Welsh Government鈥檚 target of creating a million Welsh speakers by 2050.鈥�
