The learning of Spanish and German to be promoted in Wales
The education secretary Kirsty Williams has launched The Welsh headquarters of organisations that promote Spanish and German.
The Spanish Embassy Education Office & Goethe Institut Offices will be based at Cardiff University. They have each received £10,000 of Welsh Government funding to set up in the city.
In December, the education secretary signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Spanish government, which included an agreement to support, increase and improve the teaching of Spanish in Wales.
The Goethe-Institut promotes the study of German abroad and encourages international cultural exchange. In the UK German Teacher Awards 2017, two of the three winners were teachers from Wales.
The support is part of the Welsh government’s Global Futures plan to promote modern foreign languages for pupils and students.
