Under the National Curriculum, school children in Wales must study Welsh up to the age of 16. According to the Welsh Language Boardhttp://www.bwrdd-yr-iaith.org.uk/en/cynnwys.php?cID=7&pID=144, over a quarter of children in Wales attend schools which teach predominantly through the medium of Welsh. The remainder study Welsh as a second language in English-medium schools. Specialist teachers of Welsh called Athrawon Bro support the teaching of Welsh in the National Curriculum.
