I agree with you that teachers should be highly qualified to teach other teachers. It’s a very good old saying: what you pay, you get. A car is a car, a Rolls-Royce is a car and a Mini is a car. You pay the best price, and you get the best result. Anyway, I agree: we must invest in our teachers. And ignoring these results, putting our heads into the sand, will only amplify the standards we have witnessed in the Welsh education system.

Presiding Officer, Welsh Government have been in charge of education for over 17 years. There are no excuses, there is no hiding place either. Pupils, parents and teachers across Wales deserve better, and only Conservatives can deliver it.
