English-learning children are being treated as 'second-class citizens' in Wales, says parents who are being forced to drive them miles to other schools if they don't want to be taught in Welsh.

New pupils face having to be shuttled by their mothers and fathers by car out of their home villages over the hard-line policy.

The problem has been sparked by the Welsh Government's Cymraeg 2050 Strategy, which aims to have a million speaking Welsh in 28 years' time.

Council staff – in their eagerness to pursue the plan – have left many children unable to attend their nearest school.
