Thank you, Minister. You'll be aware that the Children, Young People and Education Committee has raised serious concerns about the sufficiency of school funding in our recent report of our inquiry into school funding. I was delighted that the Welsh Government accepted every one of our recommendations. I also note the very significant amount of extra money that was invested in schools in the recent spending review. In view of those very significant pressures on funding in schools, and the major reforms that are under way in our education system, what assurance can you give that investing in the future of our children and young people will be a top priority for you in the forthcoming budget round?
