The Welsh Government is committed to ensuring that all young people receive high-quality sexuality and relationships education. In May 2018, we announced our intention to rename this area of study and have proposed that relationships and sexuality education will be statutory in the new curriculum.

I have regular discussions with the finance Minister about measures we are taking to protect local services such as education against the impacts of the UK Government austerity policy. Total public spending on education per head in Wales increased by 1.8 per cent in 2017-18, the fastest growth of the four UK countries.
