Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education — Postponed from 8 November – in the Senedd at 2:09 pm on 15 November 2017.
I was particularly pleased to hear about the new monetary incentives for new graduates considering a career in teaching in Wales. That will attract, we hope, high-achieving graduates into that profession, particularly with the priority subject areas like maths, physics, chemistry, Welsh, and the new emerging computer sciences, because that's the only way, as I can see fit, that we will be able to raise educational standards throughout the whole of Wales. Cabinet Secretary, do you, at this stage, have any details on when that scheme will be launched? And what is your anticipation of how many teachers it will deliver in Mid and West Wales?
