The WELSH NOT was a piece of wood with WN or WELSH NOT on it and a piece of string to hang around the neck of someone that you heard talking Welsh in your School and whoever had the WELSH NOT around their neck at the end of the day was punished by a caniong. I just want to know when it was enforced in Welsh Schools that is all.

Can welsh be taught in English schools?
Yes, Welsh can be taught in English schools. In fact, it is a statutory requirement for all maintained schools in Wales to provide Welsh language education. This means that Welsh is taught as a second language in English-medium schools to ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn and use the language.

What separates public schools from catholic and private schools?
Public schools are free and government operated, being paid for by tax money. Private schools are paid for entirely by the parents and are not government operated, however, they do need to meet government guidelines. Catholic schools are private schools that have a Catholic religious element to them. Many people believe that private schools are better for learning, which I believe to be the case.

The 'Welsh Not' policy, which suppressed the use of the Welsh language in schools, ended in the late 19th century. It was officially abolished in 1867, but its effects continued to be felt for many years afterwards.
Can the Celtic languages survive?
I can't say about other Celtic languages, but Welsh, I would say, is getting stronger. Since the 80s the Welsh Language is being learned at schools. Don't forget that at one time English law prevented Welsh being spoken at schools and if you spoke Welsh you had to wear a small wooden plank and the one got to wear it last of the school day got beaten by a cane. Some jobs are advertised in Welsh to increase the Welsh-speaking work force.
Who started the Welsh not?
The Welsh Not, also known as the Welsh Not, was started by British colonial authorities in Wales as a form of punishment to discourage the speaking of the Welsh language in schools. It was a wooden plaque or stick that was passed among students caught speaking Welsh, with the last person holding it at the end of the day facing punishment.

Do people in wales have to speake Welsh if there from a Welsh family?
No one has to speak welsh. Some choose to and others chose not to i guess. My mother was brought up with welsh as her first language , my father was brought up through English and it was my mother who taught him to speak welsh. He probably speaks welsh more than he does English these days... so i was brought up through welsh (i live in south wales... although the north has more welsh speakers than the south - there are pleeeeeenty of people that live their lives through welsh in the south too) A lot of children attending my school have parents who don't speak welsh , however i know there are families who wish to send their children to private schools and so have to send them to English schools. so really... there's a variety. Some speaking no English , some speaking no welsh , some having the ability to speak welsh but chosing to live their lives through English etcetc...
What steps are being made to preserve the Welsh language?
Efforts to preserve the Welsh language include education programs that teach Welsh in schools, bilingual signage in public spaces, government support for Welsh-language media, and initiatives to promote its use in daily life. Organizations like the Welsh Language Commissioner also work to uphold language rights and ensure its protection.
How long ago was welsh only spoke in schools?
The question is not very clear, but in the past there would have been some areas of Wales where English was used and some where Welsh was used. In the 19th century, the government introduced the "Welsh Not", a cord which was hung round the neck of any child heard speaking Welsh. The child wearing it at the end of the day would be beaten, so within a few years, English was the only language in Welsh schools. According to Wikipedia, the Welsh Not declined after 1888, but I personally met a woman in her 60s or 70s who cried as she said it had been used in her school, presumably well into the 20th Century.
