Assessment Bill to the Children, Young People and Education Committee. Fel y gwyddoch, rydym wedi mynegi pryder As you know, we have expressed grave concern gwirioneddol am eiriad problematig ym Mil y about the problematic wording of the Curriculum Cwricwlwm sy’n awgrymu bod lleoliadau Bill, which suggests that early years settings could blynyddoedd cynnar yn gallu cyflwyno’r Saesneg i introduce English to different ‘degrees’; a clause ‘raddau’ gwahanol, cymal sy’n rhwym o gael ei which is bound to be interpreted in ways which ddehongli mewn ffyrdd allasai niweidio gofal plant might prove damaging to childcare and early years ac addysg gynnar sy’n arddel y dull trochi trwy settings promoting the Welsh-language immersion gyfrwng y Gymraeg. method. Roeddem yn falch o weld ymatebion gan We were pleased to see that the responses of arbenigwyr addysg ac iaith i’r ymgynghoriad ar y Bil education and language experts to the Bill’s yn cytuno â ni bod angen ailedrych ar y cymal hwn consultation were in agreement with our own in i osgoi canlyniadau anfwriadol ac unrhyw stating that this clause needs to be revisited in gamargraff a allai danseilio dyheadau Llywodraeth order to avoid unintentional consequences, or any Cymru i greu miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn misconceptions, which could undermine the Welsh 2050. Government’s aspiration to create a million Welsh speakers by 2050. Cytunwn â Chomisiynydd y Gymraeg sy’n datgan We agree with the Welsh Language fod ‘cynnwys y Saesneg fel elfen fandadol yn Commissioner’s statement that ‘including English tanseilio addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg’. I ni, fel as a mandatory element undermines Welsh- arbenigwyr y blynyddoedd cynnar, byddai agor medium education’. In our view as early years drws i gyflwyno’r Saesneg mewn lleoliadau meithrin specialists, if English is introduced within nursery sy’n trochi yn golygu defnyddio’r iaith fel cyfrwng settings using the immersion methodology then addysg – symudiad a fyddai’n tanseilio y dull trochi English will be used as a medium of education - a sy’n strategaeth greiddiol i’r nod o greu siaradwyr move which would undermine the immersion Cymraeg. method strategy central to the acquisition of language. Datganodd y Llywodraeth fod y cwricwlwm a'r Bil The Government stated that the curriculum and the yn seiliedig ar adroddiadau arbenigwyr (Yr Athro Bill were based on specialists’ reports (for example, Donaldson, Yr Athro Sioned Davies, Dr Elin Jones, Prof. Donaldson, Prof. Sioned Davies, Dr Elin er enghraifft). Fodd bynnag ni gafwyd tystiolaeth Jones). However, no evidence presented by those gan yr arbenigwyr a gomisiynwyd gan y specialists commissioned by the Government, nor Pack Page 18 www.meithrin.cymru Llywodraeth na chan y sawl a ymatebodd i'r any evidence submitted to last year’s consultation ymgynghoriad ar y Cwricwlwm llynedd yn argymell on the Curriculum recommended making English a gwneud y Saesneg yn elfen fandadol yn y mandatory element of the curriculum. cwricwlwm. Pryderwn, fel Undeb Athrawon Cenedlaethol We, as Undeb Athrawon Cenedlaethol Cymru, are Cymru, fod y Bil yn rhoi grym di-gynsail i concerned that the Bill gives unprecedented power benaethiaid a darparwyr addysg feithrin i wyrdroi to headteachers and providers of nursery education iaith darpariaeth a all arwain at anghysonderau di- to subvert a provision’s language, which may lead ri.

Credwn fod consensws glir gan ymarferwyr ac During the consultation on the Curriculum Bill, arbenigwyr yn ystod yr ymgynghoriad ar Fil y practitioners and specialists clearly expressed that Cwricwlwm y dylid datgymhwyso’r Saesneg fel English should be disapplied as a mandatory elfen fandadol ar flaen y Bil. Ystyriwn y pwynt element on the face of the Bill. We consider this a yma’n flaenoriaeth er mwyn osgoi’r dryswch priority in order to avoid harmful confusion should niweidiol pe bai’r Bil yn parhau yn ei ffurf bresennol. the Bill continue in its present form. Removing Ni fyddai dileu’r Saesneg yn effeithio ar addysg English would not affect English-medium education cyfrwng Saesneg, ond yn cydnabod bod angen but would be an acknowledgement that intentional cynllunio bwriadol ar bob lefel i brif-ffrydio a planning is needed on all levels to mainstream and chynyddu addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg. Nid yw’n increase Welsh-medium education. It is dderbyniol bod rhaid i ddarpariaeth drochi hyd at 7 unacceptable that those providing immersion up to oed ofyn am gamau pellach i amrywio a bod yn the age of 7 will need to ask to be an exception or eithriad o’r norm; yn hytrach, dylai’r Bil fod yn request to vary from the norm; rather, the Bill gerbyd i’r weledigaeth o ‘gyflwyno’r Gymraeg yn should be a vehicle for the vision of ‘early gynnar i bob plentyn...system addysg sy’n rhoi introduction to Welsh… an education system that sgiliau Cymraeg i bawb...’ (Cymraeg 2050: Miliwn o provides Welsh skills to all...’ (Cymraeg 2050: A Siaradwyr, t.7). Million Speakers, p.7). Mae’n gwbl glir bod angen darparu cefnogaeth Welsh-medium education needs to be intentionally arbennig ar gyfer addysgu cyfrwng Cymraeg drwy supported and so it makes sense for Welsh to be ei chynnwys fel elfen fandadol. Yn wir, mandatory in the Bill. Indeed, Professor Donaldson argymhellodd Yr Athro Donaldson y dylai’r recommended in the report that formed the basis Gymraeg barhau fel elfen fandadol yn ei adroddiad for the changes to the curriculum that the Welsh sy’n sail i’r newidiadau i’r cwricwlwm. Ein nod fel language should continue to be a mandatory Mudiad Meithrin yw sicrhau dilyniant addysg element. Mudiad Meithrin’s aim is to promote Gymraeg o’r blynyddoedd cynnar i ysgolion progression from Welsh-medium early education to cyfrwng Cymraeg a sicrhau dinasyddion a gweithlu Welsh-medium schools, and to ensure a bilingual dwyieithog, felly byddai gosod y Gymraeg fel elfen workforce and bilingual citizens; so making Welsh a fandadol yn gosod cynsail ar ddarparwyr addysg i mandatory element places a precedent on ddatblygu sgiliau Cymraeg disgyblion ar draws y education providers to develop pupils’ Welsh cwricwlwm.

    eSharp Issue 6:2 Identity and Marginality Regressive History and the Rights of Welsh Speakers: Does History Matter? Gwenllian Lansdown ( Cardiff University) Researchers interested in questions of culture and identity are often compelled to investigate and research the historical processes which have contributed to contemporary understandings of who they are and of their place in the world. Certainly, the research which I have undertaken on Welsh identity, liberalism and multiculturalism has inevitably led me to consider the ways in which historical constructions of identity are mediated and understood. For instance, in the case of linguistic identity, it could be argued that the political and philosophical debate on the place of the Welsh language in Wales would be almost impossible to grasp without reference to the historical trajectory which has led to the language's current status.1 But where does that history begin? Who writes history? How far back does one go in attempting to understand the relationship between past and present? These questions are particularly important when considering the tendency to fetishize and sentimentalize the past, particularly so when political discussions take place. Indeed, I have been at pains to avoid the glorification of the past in my work. I have deliberately avoided notions of a 1 Both English and Welsh have de facto official status as public languages in Wales since the Welsh Language Act 1993. The 1993 Act fully repealed the linguistic aspect of the 1536 Act which officially marginalized the Welsh language from public life – see note 11 below. For those who are unfamiliar with the language's current status this is an extract taken from the most recent (2001) Census data on-line: ‘Over a fifth (21 per cent) of the population of Wales said they could speak Welsh in the 2001 Census with similar proportions able to read (20 per cent) and write (18 per cent) Welsh.

We were keen to explore the extent to which COVID-19 has opened about how the experiences we had just lived up new opportunities for those of us who actually live, work and study through the through were likely to affect the future of the medium of Welsh. To what extent has COVID-19 opened up new opportunities Welsh language. We saw many possibilities for people to engage with the Welsh language, or has it been snatched away as well as significant challenges. from people’s grasp and their ability to practise it restricted? Will our fears for the Welsh language be even greater from now on? Although society had faced strict measures and restrictions and an unacceptable number I would like to think that things are not all bad. Although our experiences with of deaths from the virus, the horrific reality of the COVID-19 have highlighted the increasing challenges, some solutions to certain second wave of winter 2020-21 had not yet struck.
