Languages Count (Welsh Assembly Government, 2002)

The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) published a languages strategy for Wales in 2002: Languages Count. The strategy is in the context of WAG’s wider education policy, published in The Learning Country in 2001.

Languages Count sets out the WAG’s intentions to develop Wales’ capacity in languages other than Welsh and English.

In the context of consultation on the WAG’s 2005 Skills Action Plan a refreshed languages strategy may incorporate a strengthened focus on language learning in post-compulsory education, training and lifelong learning. It focuses on measures in schools, especially primary. 

Consultation is now in train to refresh Languages Count (2002). Download the consultation document at Making Languages Count 2009.
