Rejected petition Make Welsh GCSE non-compulsory in English-speaking schools in Wales

We call on the National Assembly of Wales to urge the Welsh Government to make Welsh GCSE non-compulsory in English-speaking schools in Wales. While it is important to preserve the Welsh language, we believe that children whose parents have chosen to send them to English-speaking schools should get a choice. These children are the future of Wales. Give them a choice.
