Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 1:45 pm on 8 February 2017.
Diolch, Lywydd. Cabinet Secretary, Estyn’s annual report, which was published recently, identified the quality and variability of the quality of teaching as being a major issue here in Wales. In fact, the chief inspector said:
‘The most important factor in how well learners develop and learn is the quality of teaching. However, teaching is one of the weakest aspects of the provision in most sectors.’
Can you tell us what you’re doing to address this particular problem, and when we can expect to see change?
