Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill - evidence session 8
Thank you. Another question I've got: the commission will have to have regard to the tertiary education workforce and its requirements for professional development, but not in relation to the research and innovation workforce. What are your views on…

Thank you, Chair. I want to talk about the research and innovation duty and the funding. The commission will have a strategic duty to promote continuous improvement and collaboration and coherence with regard to research and innovation. So, what are your…

Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill - evidence session 7
I've got one more question. It was just touched on about collaboration—and I know an awful lot of collaboration goes on at the minute to deliver learning pathways, lifelong learning opportunities and apprenticeships—so, how do you think this Bill will help…
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill - evidence session 7
Okay. This probably will lead on to my last two questions, because, in a previous life, when I was a cabinet member, I know that the apprenticeship system is very competitive. The procurement exercise is massive; it involves a lot of third sector and private…

Does anybody else want to comment on that one?
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill - evidence session 7
Thank you very much, Chair. In the papers, it's very clear that the commission has said, in regards to lifelong learning, that there will only need to be a 'reasonable' provision. So, what do you think the Bill means for the adult learning provision, when it…

This is to everybody now: so, to what extent do you believe that this Bill actually goes towards achieving the aims of the Welsh Government around lifelong learning? Who wants to start?

Thank you very much, Chair, and it's lovely to see some familiar faces. Arwyn, good to see you. I want to ask about lifelong learning. So, to Adult Learning Wales: you state in your paper that you were well placed to help inform the regulations around…

Diolch, Weinidog. Minister, the UK Government has given Wales vast sums of extra funding over the past 20 months throughout the COVID pandemic. Recently, the UK Government announced a further £2.5 billion, down the M4 from Westminster to Cardiff Bay. At the…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: The Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Strategy
Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer. Minister, thank you for your statement. It was very moving and humbling to join you and other colleagues across this Chamber and, more importantly, the survivors of domestic violence the other night, and I want to reaffirm my…

Statement by the First Minister: Programme for Government—Update.
I too, First Minister, thank you for your statement, and do want to ask around mental health community facilities, which are mentioned in your agreement with Plaid Cymru—you say you want facilities run by trained third sector staff, and this is something that…

Thank you. I've got nothing else to add, Chair, in the interest of time, but I'm going to have to leave unfortunately because, as a member of the CYPE committee, leaving my daughter outside a school I don't think looks very good for my image.

Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill—evidence session 6
Diolch—thank you. This is to the coleg directly. You talk in your evidence paper about the relationship between schools and colleges in respect of A-level provision. Can you just talk through that point, if you don't mind?

Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill—evidence session 6
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I want to talk about barriers, costs and unintended consequences. The Bill's documentation explains that there is a risk that directly funding the coleg and the national centre may lead to duplication and the inefficient use of resources…

I'll be very quick. So, people that are post-19, mature students, how do you feel this Bill could represent their voice at the table?

Can I have one more quick question to come back, Chair, if that's okay?
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill—evidence session 5
Good afternoon. I've got just a couple of questions. My first question is: do you think that the Bill as drafted will improve uptake in post-19 learning and lifelong learning as a whole, and do you think this Bill fits with the Welsh Government's lifelong…

Yes, thank you, Chair. This is my last question, and it's all about what we've been talking about, really, about delivery of FE around collaboration and funding. A key aim of this Bill is around collaboration. HEFCW told us that the consent provision related…
