Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:40 pm on 1 November 2016.
The devolution of teachers’ pay and conditions offers us a great opportunity work with the profession in order to provide a comprehensive package of terms and conditions and pay. It’s exactly what the Scots have done and it’s exactly what we need to do in Wales, and get away from the idea that, somehow, Government and the profession have to be in conflict. I don’t see it that way, and I think the opportunity of devolving terms and conditions is one that presents us with a chance to provide the right package for teachers in Wales.
