Lack of Teaching Resources
According to the UCAC, a teachers' trade union in Wales, there is a lack of resources to teach Welsh History. The UCAC states that teachers should be guided to proper resources so they can plan their curriculums appropriately. Otherwise, even with the new Curriculum for Wales 2020, teachers may simply revert to their old lesson plans. The union also believes that the available resources they do have to teach Welsh history are not from a Welsh perspective. This lack of proper teaching resources has resulted in tokenistic education of Welsh history. To quote them directly, "“If resources are readily available from the Welsh dimension, showing the Welsh dimension, then they will be used more, but in the past a lot of the resources were, I wouldn’t say Anglo-centric, but they were British-viewing rather than specifically Welsh-viewed. I think the biggest thing that’s needed is some exemplar materials to show what is it people need to deliver the new curriculum properly.”"Prominent Welsh historian Dr. Elin Jones stated that local resources, such as history societies, had a lot to offer regarding Welsh History. However, a conflict of interest may arise when sourcing from local resources due to the want to standardize Welsh history. For example, Owain Glyndwr Society stated that, “Pupils living in the valleys of South Wales may well end up with an in depth knowledge of the coal industry, but will probably have very little knowledge of the slate industry in Gwynedd."
