What is the Welsh Government doing to promote Gower dialect of English in schools in Swansea?
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language | Answered on 22/07/2026
The Curriculum for Wales sets a clear expectation that learners develop an understanding of language, culture and identity, including the diversity within Wales. It does not prescribe the teaching of specific English dialects; however, schools are expected to design curricula that reflect their local context, which may include exploring local linguistic features such as the Gower dialect where appropriate.
