LEARNING WELSH
TEN THOUSAND CHILDREN Ten thousand children in Cardiff are setting to work to learn the Welsh language. The teaching of Welsh is not compulsory in Cardiff, as it is in Swansea, the Rhondda Valley and in parts of the County of Glamorgan, but the number of Cardiff children to choose the subject has increased to 10,000. More and more teachers are being trained for Welsh, which has just been added to the list of subjects in Civil Service examinations, and the inability to speak it is considered essential for certain Civil Service posts in Wales, particularly in the industrial and rural districts. Civil servants in large numbers have entered for the Welsh classes at the Technical College next session. Some of the. Swansea schools used Welsh instead of English as the medium of instruction.
