Llyr Gruffydd: ...many people was that weren’t alternative arrangements in place immediately after the company went bust. There are still people who can’t travel to work in Wrexham and can’t travel to education in Wrexham because of those services lost. That isn’t good enough, is it?
Mike Hedges: This is the second cyclical set of GCSE results that have been achieved since Schools Challenge Cymru was launched. I visited Pentrehafod School and Morriston Comprehensive School on GCSE results day to be told that Pentrehafod had achieved their best ever GCSE results, and that Morriston had increased their A* to C grades by 17 per cent. Can I ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education to make...
Ken Skates: .... This year, they used the European championships as a catalyst to get more people to play football, holding 100 community football recruitment days across Wales and continuing to engage with schools through their Play More Football programme. The success of Welsh athletes in the Olympics is something that we can all take pride in. Although the Welsh contingent made up just 7 per cent of...
Rebecca Evans: ...who come into contact with individuals using or considering using these substances have the knowledge they need to provide the necessary information, advice and support. Early intervention and education are critical in this agenda, and through our all-Wales schools liaison core programme, we are working with the four Welsh police forces to educate pupils on a range of personal and social...
Mark Reckless: 7. Will the Welsh Government continue to prioritise childcare provision in nurseries attached to schools over private nurseries? OAQ(5)0036(CC)
...Thomas Add as new point at end of motion: Believes that a recruitment and retention strategy must include a commitment to increase the number of Welsh-domiciled students studying in Welsh medical schools.
...single market is essential for Welsh businesses. 2. Regrets the insecurity the agriculture industry faces as a result of Brexit. 3. Calls on the Welsh Government to enhance support for the higher education sector, particularly in research and development. 4. Calls on the Welsh Government to ensure a four countries approach to Brexit negotiations in order to ensure Welsh national interests...
Lesley Griffiths: ...to prevent littering is focused on both enforcement programmes and collaboration across key partner organisations working to change public attitudes and behaviour through community involvement and education. Encouraging people to take pride in their local environment and to take action themselves will lead to stronger and longer lasting improvements.
Darren Millar: Minister, I’m very pleased to hear that you’re paying attention to this very important field, but what work are you specifically doing, or your officials doing, to engage with the education sectors—not just higher education, but also the further education sector—in maximising the potential benefits that precision agriculture can bring to the yields, particularly in terms of crops,...
Huw Irranca-Davies: ...What defines it is not just the deciduous woodland planting and the orchards and the natural beauty, but the fact that it is in one of the areas where the most targeted interventions in health and education and other matters are going on. Isn’t it right that the woodland action plan, together with the well-being of future generations Act, means that we need to see the right trees in the...
Michelle Brown: ...to the questions. What is the Welsh Government doing to identify and protect girls at risk of female genital mutilation and what resources have been provided to the NHS, social services and schools to support those measures?
David Melding: ...physical attack. We are talking about what previous generations called ‘reasonable chastisement’. But I agree with Julie Morgan, it’s all about supporting parents, and that’s not only just education, but ensuring our public services are there, so that we have effective childcare, for instance, and other areas of support, so that parents don’t feel under great pressure, which...
Carl Sargeant: ...across Wales of any age is something that I’m sure the Member would support. There are many things, as the Member recognises, that have an effect on community resilience and family resilience: education, jobs and skills and well-being all being part of that. As I said to the previous Member previously, I will be making a statement later next week about our community vision, about what...
Carl Sargeant: ...right to raise this issue and it does concern me also. I’ve asked my team to look at the implications of that report and how much more we can do, not with just this department, but also through educational support within the school setting and in third sector organisations in relation to how we engage with young people and listen to their views. Often, the older generation do things at...
Carl Sargeant: ...Jenny for her question. The Welsh Government’s strategy for tackling child poverty remains focused on building a strong economy, increasing skills, reducing worklessness, reducing inequalities in education and health outcomes, and addressing the poverty premium. These priorities are closely aligned with the elements of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s anti-poverty strategy.
Adam Price: ...meant to represent a step change in thinking, away from the old grant culture and towards, instead, a more strategic approach to creating the conditions for economic success, rather than the old school of, basically, economic success coming through the stroke of a ministerial pen and money being doled out to individual companies. It was also meant to be more strategic in focusing on some...
Jenny Rathbone: ...to see an advert on the back of a bus telling landlords that they need to register by the 23 November deadline. That’s one innovative way of getting the message across that will hopefully educate both landlords and tenants on this topical and important change in the law, but I fear it’s unlikely to be sufficient to capture all the people who need to know about this, and 23 November is...
Jenny Rathbone: I’ve just come from the celebration of school meals hosted by Lesley Griffiths—delighted to hear from the head of the school meals service for Bridgend that they’re pitching for the charter mark for their school meals service, which is what we enjoy upstairs in our canteen—and I wondered what help the national food procurement service is going to be able to provide schools so that all...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: ...spend less time in the open air than people in our prisons. Would you agree with me that it would be worth while putting in place a mechanism to monitor children’s weight as they go through school and also to monitor their physical activity, as was suggested by Tanni Grey-Thompson last week?
Bethan Sayed: ...there—. How, then, can they be sensitive to what’s happening around them, rather than just trying to cycle as fast as they would on a mountain, for example? So, what can you do in terms of education to ensure that everyone can share the same environment comfortably?
