Thank you for that answer, Cabinet Secretary. It's positive to hear that family engagement is a priority for you, and I'd like you to also look at exploring avenues of increasing the range of extra-curricular activities. I appreciate the Welsh Government has been working in this area. Forty-eight per cent of school pupils in years 3 to 11 in Wales are taking part in organised physical activity. I wish to highlight Wales's success in the Commonwealth Games. We must encourage all children to be as active as they can and encourage children who excel at sport at the same time. So, what is the Welsh Government doing to encourage the 52 per cent of children who do not participate in any physical activity, whilst at the same time encouraging and assisting the local sports clubs who are struggling financially along with individuals who have a talent but lack the necessary funding to excel in their sport?
