Welsh Education News
SOUTH WALES TRAVEL GUIDE

Traditionally the Welsh education system has emphasised depth of education as opposed to breadth - pupils tend to sit a small number of advanced exams. A significant number of students (yet still a minority) in Wales are educated either wholly or largely through the medium of Welsh; lessons in the language are compulsory for all until the age of 16. Pupils in secondary school take part in GCSE and A-level qualifications however there is also an option of the Welsh Baccalaurate from 2007, which makes the Welsh education in secondary schools more distinguished from the English curriculum.
