Welsh-medium education is a form of education in Wales that allows pupils to be taught primarily through the medium of Welsh, with English being taught as the secondary language. This is a holistic Welsh medium environment, and not just the teaching of Welsh as an academic subject. Formal Welsh medium education began in Wales in 1939, and the first Welsh medium secondary education began in 1962. In the following decades the provision was greatly expanded and currently some 23% of pupils in Wales attend Welsh medium schools. The Welsh Government plans further expansion of provision at all educational key stages, with targets to provide such education for 30% of pupils by 2031 and 40% by 2050.
