Benefits of Welsh-medium education
There are many benefits to a bilingual education. Bilingual people:
- have increased opportunities for socialisation
- find it easier to learn other languages
- think in a more flexible and creative way
- are very good at analysing data and multi-tasking
Bilingual children tend to perform better in school and exams.
Welsh in the workplace
In Wales, there is an increasing demand for Welsh language skills in the workplace. The ability to speak Welsh is either an essential or a desirable skill for a growing number of jobs.
Bilingual people also tend to earn more on average than someone who speaks one language.
