Ateb
Atebwyd gan Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
In taking forward our Programme for Government commitment to explore reform to the school year and day, I am looking at how reform could best support learner and staff well-being, narrow educational inequalities and align with modern living and work patterns. Over the summer and autumn my officials and I have held preliminary discussions with a broad range of partners and stakeholders including young people, school leaders, Unions and local authorities, both directly and through fora such as the Schools Social Partnership Forum.
Going forward, I will continue to take a collaborative, cross-government and multi-sector approach. This work will also be carried out in collaboration with the Plaid Cymru Senedd Group, as part of the Co-operation Agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru.
