  1. Welsh Not

    The Welsh Not or Welsh Note was a punishment system used in some Wales Welsh schools in the late 19th and early 20th century to dissuade children from speaking Welsh language Welsh . It was represented as a piece of wood, inscribed with the letters WN , that was hung around the necks of children who spoke Welsh during the school day. The not was given to any child overheard speaking Welsh, who would pass it to a different child if they were overheard speaking Welsh. By the end of the day, the wearer of the not would be given a corporal punishment lashing . The idea of the not was to discourage pupils from speaking Welsh, at a time when English language English was considered by some to be the only suitable medium of instruction . History The use of the not was recorded in the 18th century it was also commonly known as the cwstom , the Welsh stick and the Welsh lead a lump of lead . ref The Welsh Academy Encyclopedia of Wales.

The report did not endorse the practice. The reports also clearly show that the vast majority of education in Welsh Wales was still conducted in Welsh.
