A Welsh-language Federal College

We call on the Assembly Government to keep to their promise in the ‘One Wales Agreement’ to establish a Welsh-language Federal College. A Federal College must include the following elements:

1. Statutory status and an independent constitution
2. A charter and an independent terms of reference including responsibility for the whole of higher education through the medium of Welsh in Wales.
3. An independent funding cash flow — at least £20 million in the first instance
4. An independent register of students which would ensure that students could register with both the Federal College and their geographical college, leading to a feeling of belonging and ownership of the institution.

Anything other than a total combination of the above factors would amount to a broken promise. We call on the government to reconsider if the above points are not part of their plans.
