Assembly and academia must serve each other

Article Abstract:

The Welsh Assembly must appreciate the importance of higher education to Welsh society and the creation of wealth.

About 100 million pounds sterling is earned in Wales from foreign students, while higher education employs 37,200 people directly and indirectly in the region. Knowledge-based industry must be developed in Wales.

Siaredir Cymraeg yma?*(* Is Welsh spoken here?, University of Wales)

Article Abstract:

Head of Welsh medium studies at Aberystwyth university college, Ioan Williams would like to see a Welsh perspective incorporated into the University of Wales, with Welsh speakers appointed as heads of department. Steps were taken to appoint Welsh medium lecturers after activists called for a separate college in the 1950s, however, the initiative was abandoned in 1992. The number of Welsh speakers in Wales has fallen from about half in 1900 to around 18% during the 1980s.
