A petition with 1,000 signatures calling for a Welsh Language Federal College

On Thursday Jane Hutt is expected to make an announcement concerning the Welsh Assembly Government's policy regarding a Welsh Medium Federal College. To coincide with this Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg will today be presenting a petition with 1,000 signatures to the Education Minister and the Petition's Committee. The petition draws attention to the four principles that have been central to the campaign from the start.

Cymdeithas the complete change in Gwynedd's school policy

Cymdeithas yr Iaith have welcomed the statement made by Councillor Liz Saville (the cabinet member that holds the education portfolio) that the old school re-organisation plan has come to an end and there are no longer any schools on the list of closure, nor are there any plans to enforce change on other schools. We welcome her statement made in the Council chamber today that the Council want to move forward by co-working with the Gwynedd School Alliance and Cymdeithas yr Iaith. The clause asking the new committee to 'make a list of schools to close' was deleted.
