Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:36 pm on 28 February 2017.
Well, I’m glad that the Member for Llanelli has drawn attention to that most interesting, I’m sure, visit with Jon Gower, and also drawn attention to the fact that Llanelli author William Glynne-Jones is featured in the new series. It is important that it isn’t just gift sets going to schools—clearly, those books have to be used widely, they need to be borrowed, read, shared, discussed throughout schools, libraries and colleges. And I think, as the Member has said, the fact that we’ve brought this new generation of a series to readers—46 titles being published—is vitally important. But it actually is also crucial that we see this as part of developing our world-class education system, geared to equipping our children and young people to thrive amid the challenges of the twenty-first century.
