Language campaigners will discuss setting up a group to challenge the work of a new Welsh language college, after an 'invisible' start to the new venture.Establishing an independent body, the Welsh Medium College (y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol), was a pledge of the last Welsh Government to ensure pupils of Welsh-medium education continued to study through the language at University. It followed a failure of existing institutions to increase their provision.The first students started at the college for the first time this week, but a motion to be discussed at Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg's annual get-together in Wrexham (Saturday, 8th October), claims that the historic event slipped by unnoticed. Campaigners are also disappointed that the College's rhetoric about 'expanding opportunities' rather than exciting potential students to be part of a historic new initiative.According to Ffred Ffransis, Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg's education spokesperson, after decades of campaigning for the college the opportunity should not be lost:"The start of the College has been uninspiring - it's first students started officially a few days ago, but no-one has noticed. That's not acceptable, considering all the campaigning it took to establish it."There's talk of creating more opportunities, but that's the old rhetoric. That's exactly why we're concerned that this 'college' is just an extension of the present arrangements. An arrangement which is under the control of the existing educational bodies - instead of an exciting new start for higher education through the medium of Welsh.\In light of developments, campaigners will discuss establishing a shadow board of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to oversee the work of the College, suggest plans to develop it and act as an ombudsman for students or prospective students who experience difficulties with the new body. Bethan Williams, Chair of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg added:\I look forward to hearing a number of speakers share their opinions about this. The Coleg Cymraeg is something that we have pressed for for decades. Obviously, members of our education group have noted a number of things they feel are going wrong at the College. Anyone who joins Cymdeithas ahead of our general meeting in Wrexham on the 8th October will have a chance to take part in the discussion."
