Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Mental Health, Wellbeing and Welsh Language – in the Senedd at 2:51 pm on 2 December 2020.
Thank you. I think it's been a really anxious time for any young person, in particular when it comes to schoolwork and, in particular, those who were planning to sit exams. Of course, we have given substantial support as a Government to local authorities and, through them, to schools, to those people who haven't been able to access education online. Part of the additional problem, of course, is that you can give them the hardware but, actually, you need to make sure that the broadband coverage is in place and that they are able to access support in that way. So, I know that the Minister for Education is very aware of the situation, and if you've got examples of areas where it's not possible for people to gain access, I think it would be useful to send those on to the education Minister.
