A new one\-year pilot sabbatical scheme for primary teachers to develop their Welsh\-language skills will be delivered. This new pilot will be added to the range of courses currently delivered across Wales.

A campaign, in conjunction with key stakeholders will be developed with a view to targeting undergraduates to go into teaching. This funding will be directed to the Discover Teaching campaign.


### £2,055,000 for education consortia to support professional learning for Welsh language and Welsh\-medium practitioners


Each regional education consortium will receive an allocation to support the professional development of practitioners’ Welsh language skills and teaching pedagogy.


Consortia will be required to undertake a programme of work which includes mapping the Welsh language skills of the workforce; identifying practitioners to take part in the Sabbatical scheme; mentoring and school\-to\-school support; sharing effective practice, and providing a programme of Welsh language professional learning for practitioners.


### £200,000 to be allocated to undertake research


There is a need for research to ensure a sound evidence base for the proposed language continuum and effective pedagogy for teaching the language.


This money will deliver a programme of research and evaluation to support Welsh in education and to develop capacity to promote a vibrant research culture in the areas of Welsh\-medium education and language acquisition.


Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said:



> “Developing a teaching workforce to teach Welsh and deliver education through the medium of Welsh is essential in creating more Welsh speakers and will be a priority over the next 5 years.
