Question
What consideration has the Minister given to NEU Cymru's announcement that teachers are considering strike action due to school holiday reform?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
We will continue to do what is best for teachers and learners across Wales, engaging and working with education workforce unions as we do so. The recent consultation on the School Year, which closed on 12 February 2024, was an opportunity for everyone across Wales to share their views on how we best structure the school year, to tackle educational inequalities and improve learner and staff wellbeing. We are now considering the responses ahead of any decisions.
