FLINTSHIRE COUNCIL ATTACKS WELSH-MEDIUM TEACHING.

Flintshire was at the forefront of providing Welsh medium education over 50 years ago. I am disappointed and concerned that the present council do not have the same committment towards safeguarding and promoting one of the oldest languages in current use. All children born in Wales, and all children moving into Wales must be allowed not only to learn to speak the Welsh language but the right of being taught through the medium of that language. I hope very much that the powers that be see sense before it is too late. Welsh medium education must not be given second-class status. Allowing Ysgol Gwenffrwd to be classed as a feeder school of Holywell High School by being positioned on a super-campus would be a detrimental step.  Ysgol Gwenffrwd must be given complete autonomy on its own independent site.
