Part of 2. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:45 pm on 3 October 2017.
First Minister, that was a pathetic answer. On your watch—[Interruption.] On your watch—[Interruption.] On your watch, we have had secondary schools in Wales—. And these aren’t my comments, because we can’t get the data—we’ve applied to the Welsh Government to have the data that the Cabinet Secretary based her speech on. Here’s the speech—. The speech is here; it’s her remarks, not my remarks, that say how shameful it has been that, under your Government, we have had secondary schools not entering a single—a single—student for science GCSEs—not A-levels, GCSEs. How on earth can you defend that when you’ve been First Minister for seven years? These are the remarks of your Cabinet Secretary, not mine, so how can we have confidence that we will see the improvements we need in science, technology, engineering and mathematics when we’ve had such a laissez-faire attitude from your Government?
