Cymdeithas yr Iaith has welcomed an interim statement issued today by Prof Graham Donadson which lists the basic principles for a new curriculum for Wales. Cymdeithas say that these principles reinforce the case for ensuring that the curriculum gives every pupil the basic educational skill of being able to communicate in both Welsh and English. In a letter to Education Minister Huw Lewis, Prof Donaldson, who was commissioned by the Government to draw up recommendations for a new curriculum for Wales. lists the basic principles which should underpin the curriculum.

Reacting to the announcement that Mark James intends to leave his role  as Chief Executive Officer of Carmarthenshire County Council,  Cymdeithas yr Iaith have sent a message to the leaders of the three  political groups of councillors asking that this be "the end of an era".  

Cymdeithas yr Iaith has written to Carmarthenshire County Council to ask about a language forum that was due to be set up this month. The language pressure group has not heard about the forum and have raised a tongue-in-cheek question with council officers - “is our invitation lost in the post?”.
