Exam success

Congratulations are due this month to all those who have succeeded in passing their exams in Cornish.
A total of 66 people succeeded in the Kesva an Taves exams over 4 grades. Of these, 20 candidates obtained Grade One, of whom 17 passed with distinction; 16 passed Grade Two, 9 of them with distinction; 22 succeeded in Grade Three, 10 of them with distinc- tion and finally we congratulate the eight candidates who took their final Grade 4 exam and passed, 6 of them with distinction.
In addition 7 candidates became the first students ever to obtain the Breakthrough qualification under Asset languages. This is an accredited qualification open to schools and colleges and to adult stu- dents and we look forward to a grow- ing number of candidates for these examinations as well. These results bode well for the future of Cornish – 73 speakers! We wish them all well in their future studies in Cornish and hope to see them all at events and Yeth an Werin meetings around Cornwall in the coming year.
