All-Welsh Schools

HC Deb 12 July 1955 vol 543 c170W

Mr. D. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Education how many all-Welsh schools are now open in Wales; and how many children attend them.

Sir D. Eccles

In practically all primary schools in Welsh-speaking areas instruction is given through the medium of the Welsh language. As far as I know, there are now 27 all-Welsh primary schools, departments or classes in linguistically mixed areas, with 3,147 pupils on the registers.
