Question
What plans does the Welsh Government have to renew the Taith programme beyond its current funding period, and what assessment has it made of the programme's impact on young people in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education (Cefin Campbell)
Welsh Government are examining options for the future of the Taith programme, which will consider a range of factors, including the UK’s reassociation to the Erasmus+ programme in 2027. No decisions have been made at this stage regarding any future funding arrangements beyond the current programme period.
Taith is subject to independent evaluation arrangements. Wavehill was commissioned to undertake the inception and interim evaluations of the programme, and these reports are available on Taith’s website. The final evaluation is scheduled to report in early 2028 and will provide a comprehensive assessment of the programme's outcomes and impact.
