Calls for more Welsh language primary schools
According to the latest figures from Swansea council, 3 out of the 10 have reached their capacity, while two others are almost full.
"At the moment, Killay and Dunvant have no Welsh-medium schools and just about 4% have Welsh-medium education. Keith Collins said his five-year-old grandson, Harry, had to travel almost five miles on a bus from Fforestfach to reach the nearest Welsh-medium school in Gorseinon. "It's the main reason they decided to move, their parents want them to have a Welsh-medium education.
Swansea council said, "Swansea council along with the Welsh government is investing more than £150m in improved school buildings and this year alone new build schools with increased capacity and facilities that are second to none have opened for Welsh medium primary schools YGG Tirdeunaw and YGG Tan-y-lan.
