In choosing Welsh-medium education for your child/children you have joined the ever-increasing number of parents in Wales who acknowledge the advantages of such an education. By making this choice you will have realised that Welsh-medium education presents a challenge - not only to the teachers and pupils but also to you, the parents. The challenge is greater, of course, if the language of the school is different from that of the home. It is, however, an exciting challenge and you, as parents, have an important role to play, whatever the language of the home.
