Thanks, Chair. Thanks, Minister. Two quick questions following on from the final budget that was published. Within that, there was £14.4 million allocated to the RSG. You'll be aware of particularly acute problems surrounding school budgets in certain parts…

Thank you. So, there's no risk, in 2024-25, of Welsh-medium schools losing out as a result of the changes to the funding system.

Thank you. Just picking up on the funding distribution that you mentioned, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe that there are 20 grants going through five partnerships or consortia. That will move to four pots and 10 grant lines going through 22 local…

Thank you. Just on the point of co-design, is this being conducted in social partnership with the teaching profession and also the unions? And just looking further now to the next phase of Professor Jones's review of roles and responsibilities for education…

Thanks for your answer. You're probably aware that Estyn's chief inspector was indeed with us last week. He told us that self evaluation is still not strong enough, and that Estyn are observing schools doing this poorly in many areas. The OECD has never—as…

Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Minister, good morning. I'm going to ask about regional consortia and school improvement. Your immediate two predecessors were the architects of regional working in terms of school improvement, and that came as a consequence of…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Diolch am eich ateb, Prif Weinidog. Ceir heriau amrywiol ym myd addysg sydd wedi cael eu chwyddo a'u dwysáu o ganlyniad i bandemig COVID, ac un yw'r cynnydd sydyn i gam-drin athrawon a chynorthwywyr addysgu. Mae ymosodiadau wedi dod yn fwy aml, gan gynnwys…

Yes, thanks, Chair. Just a final question, an open-ended question, really, for anyone. We're going to have a new First Minister and a new Cabinet very soon. What do you think their top priorities should be for the childcare sector?

Oh, great. Thank you. I asked about the longer term approach and what the Welsh Government's longer term aspirations for the early education and care sector should be, and what practical and financial issues need to be considered to deliver these objectives.

Thanks, Chair. I've just got a few questions about the long-term approach. What should be the Welsh Government's longer term aspirations for the early education and care sector? What practical and financial issues—[Inaudible.]

Thank you. Just one last question from me. With regard to the expansion of Flying Start provision, there have been, I understand, system challenges in all 22 local authority areas. It's a question perhaps for Sarah Coates and Jane: what system challenges have…

Thank you, that's really helpful. How clear is the Welsh Government's approach to early childhood education and care policy, do you think, and how effective is it at meeting its intended goals?

Thank you, Chair. Just a quick question and enquiry as to how serious the situation is within the sector. In the next five years, according to the survey we've been presented with, as much as 80 per cent of professionals may be out of business. Is that…
