Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:01 pm on 4 October 2017.
Presiding Officer, the Member asks who should own these standards: the profession. The profession should own the standards, and I’m pleased to say there is broad support from the profession for these new standards. Our new proposals replace 55 previous standards with five new key standards, and, of course, the EWC have had a very important role in helping in the development of them. At present, those standards have been incorporated into the EWC’s professional learning passport, and I will keep under review whether the EWC should have an increased role in this particular area.
