This year, in a pilot scheme funded by the Welsh Government, three students in their first year studying the Childhood and Youth Studies degree programme through the medium of Welsh will have the opportunity to study the Level 3 qualification Care, Play, Learning and Children's Development whilst studying for their degree.
This collaboration responds to the growing demand for bilingual staff in the care and education of young children, and the challenge of recruiting individuals who speak Welsh and have the necessary qualifications.
"We are very proud to be working together in this way with the Mudiad, which has done so much over the years to maintain Welsh-language education and care for our youngest children. In this way, our students will leave university with a degree and professional qualification, and as such, they will be highly employable in the Welsh-medium children's workforce, which is good for them and good for the sector," explains Rhian Tomos, lecturer in Childhood and Youth Studies at 全民彩票's School of Education Sciences.
