Motion NDM6969 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes the Annual Report for 2017-18 of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education and Training in Wales that was laid in Table Office on 11 December 2018.

2. Welcomes that the “shift in culture towards a more collaborative and self-improving system continues apace”.

3. Notes that standards are good or better in 8 in 10 primary schools, an increase on last year.

4. Notes that whilst standards remain good or better in about half of secondary schools, variability remains a key challenge.

5. Notes the continued dedication of teachers and support staff in our schools as they work to improve standards and pupils' attainment.
