You’ll be familiar with the fact that the Scottish Government also considered some moves towards this, and that the conclusions that were drawn by a working group up in Scotland were that these were complex issues, and whilst everybody would like to see smaller class sizes, the money could be better spent elsewhere.

Can I switch to another issue, which I know we’ve had some correspondence on, Cabinet Secretary, and that is the recognition of the Welsh baccalaureate qualification by higher education institutions, particularly over the border in England? You will know from the correspondence that we’ve exchanged that there are a number of universities that do not appear to pay regard to the quality of the education that our young people receive, who take the Welsh baccalaureate in Welsh schools, and this is denying them access to the courses that they want to be able to choose in those higher education institutions. What action specifically are you taking to be able to tackle those problems, and will you join me in visiting some Welsh baccalaureate students in my own constituency in order to discuss this issue with them?
