Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:40 pm on 7 February 2017.
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, as I’ve said to you many times in this Chamber, you quite rightly identified education as a priority for your stewardship as First Minister here in the National Assembly for Wales. Last week, in the education committee, evidence was given that showed that the number of teachers in our schools has declined by over 1,000 since 2010. If education is a priority for you, why have you allowed the number of teachers teaching in our schools from 2010 to 2015 to decline by over 1,000?
