Motion NDM7218 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s 2018 PISA results.

2. Notes that Wales is the only UK nation to improve in each domain.

3. Welcomes:

a) Wales’s best ever scores in reading and maths, and improvement in science;

b) a reduction in the gap between our most disadvantaged learners and their peers;

c) the improvement in performance of high performing students.

4. Believes the improvement in PISA scores is testament to the hard work of teachers and pupils across Wales.
