I wanted to ask about the strategic education workforce plan—it was published in March—and what the status of that plan is under the new Government. I specifically wanted to ask about school support staff. You'll be aware there's a commitment in the plan to…

Okay, great. Thank you. And, then, my final question is on supporting learners with healthcare needs, which we had a discussion about in the Chamber. I can't overemphasise how serious this is, with school support staff being asked to perform really complex…

I wanted to ask about mandatory training for school staff. I know we don't like the word 'mandatory', but there is a need to upskill all school staff if we're going to move towards a genuinely inclusive education system. Is that still a priority for Dysgu?

Okay. I'm sure the committee would want an update on that work, because independence is the key issue that families worry about and they don't always have confidence in the local authority commissioned services. I wanted to—

Thank you. You mentioned the parent toolkit. There was a report that was received before the election from Gareth Morgans on advocacy, and you'll be aware that one of the big problems with the ALN system is that it is too often a battle for families. I think…

Good morning. I wanted to ask about PISA. I was incredibly disappointed by the PISA results, and obviously I'm well aware of the amount of effort that went into encouraging engagement in PISA in this round, and I don't subscribe to what some people have said…

Okay. Thank you. And I'm not in favour of salami slicing; I'm in favour of budgeting on the basis of priorities, informed by values like this, so it's good to hear you say that. Can I just finally ask about plans for a review of the Act, which has been a…
