QNR – in the Senedd on 7 March 2018.
'Education in Wales: Our national mission' is clear on our commitment to ensure all learners in Wales are fully supported to reach their potential. Working with partners, we are determined to overcome the particular challenges that face some groups of learners, including Gypsy, Roma and Traveller learners.
By explicitly including well-being in 'Education in Wales: Our national mission', I have put out a clear message that the well-being of learners is important and that schools need to focus on this. This will be supported by the new curriculum, developments in professional learning and the CAMHS in-reach pilot.
I am committed to ensuring that all young people receive high quality healthy relationships education during their time at school. I am currently considering how the findings of the sex and relationship education expert panel can enhance healthy relationships provision for those learning under the current and new curriculum.
The creative use of technology and digital skills is vital for our children’s future success. This will feature strongly in our new curriculum, but we are already strengthening learning in this area. Last June, I launched Cracking the Code to boost coding skills in schools with investment over £1.3 million.
