Do you think this framework provides a way of differentiating between the first language and second language path, because everybody would be measured on the same framework?

Okay. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much to you all for your evidence, to begin with. It's been useful work, and it will be when we draw up our report and recommendations in due course. I'm just, in this part of questioning, going to focus on the CEFR framework. It's interesting…

Thank you.

There is an additional category in the non-statutory guidance. So, what you're suggesting is that that should perhaps be adopted in the Bill.
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 4
Thank you. Just so the committee can be clear on this point, and to summarise what you've said about the primarily Welsh category, there is no minimum set out for that category, and the point that you made, Gwennan, at the very end there is that there is a…

Thank you. I think we'll return to the workforce in due course. Thank you.

I agree. A final question from me, if I may, on the CEFR, and it's interesting to hear that you, Angharad, have done some research specifically on this. In the draft Bill, there are benchmarks in terms of attainment levels. We're talking about B2 for all…

So, what you're saying is that there needs to be investment in training in childcare, but also in the education workforce.

On that final point then—a question for CYDAG, but I'd be happy to hear from you too—how much of a challenge will this be for our schools and for teachers, particularly, who will have to assess children according to an entirely new framework?
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 4
Thank you very much, and thank you for your evidence and for the evidence that you'll provide, I'm sure, later. In this set of questions, I'm just going to focus on the CEFR framework. It's a new concept for us in Wales, of course, outside Welsh for adults…

Thank you. Just to go back to those final points, given that the Welsh language is a compulsory subject in our schools, and some would argue that we're already providing about 10 per cent as regards teaching Welsh, is this 10 per cent sufficient in your view?…
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Thank you very much. Just on the back of the question from Tom, Dr Enlli, in your evidence, you have noted—and I'm just going to quote here—that the minimum 10 per cent requirement for primarily English, partly Welsh schools is vague and needs further…
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Okay, thank you very much.
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
No problem. Dr Enlli particularly, in your evidence, you set out some doubts around children achieving C1 or C2 level in Welsh-medium schools. Can you expand a little on the basis for those comments?

Sorry, I didn't know if Gwenno wanted to come in on that point.
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee

Thank you very much. Specifically, in your experience of studying bilingualism at a European level and your understanding of the CEFR framework, is it realistic to expect a pupil who is in a primarily English school to reach the B2 level in spoken Welsh by…

Good morning to you. I'm Cefin Campbell, Member of the Senedd. Thank you very much for the evidence that you have submitted; that is very useful. I want to ask a general question to start with on the CEFR, and then perhaps more detailed questions on that…
