Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Well, I'm sure colleagues who have stayed to listen to the short debate this afternoon will agree with me that Suzy Davies's decision to retire from the Senedd is a real loss—it's a real loss to our work here, and I'd like to put on record my thanks to Suzy Davies for her service, not just to the people of South Wales West but the service to her nation. Suzy, your contribution, as I said, will be greatly missed. I'd also like to thank you for recognising the wonderful civic mission showcase that was recently hosted by Universities Wales. On coming into office, I challenged our higher education institutions to rediscover that sense of civic mission, and I'm so glad that they have embraced that challenge, and the project that you've talked about this afternoon is just one of the ways in which our higher education institutions are serving not only their students, but are serving us as a nation. 

Given that, potentially, this is the last short debate that Suzy Davies, or, indeed, I, will ever do in this virtual Chamber, just once, Suzy, I'll give in and I'll leave Turing to another day. But can I thank you most sincerely for bringing forward this debate to the Chamber? As Suzy says, learning languages doesn't just equip our young people with qualifications, it provides them with an opportunity to broaden their horizon, to deepen cultural understanding, and provides skills that they can use both here and across the globe. I have a very clear vision for all our learners to become multilingual, global citizens. And set within the world that we find ourselves in, it would be easy to dismiss the challenges that international languages face as insignificant in comparison to those that we're currently facing in our schools—that the decrease in the number of learners studying MFL and the narrowing of provision could be set aside as problems for another day. However, we will come through these incredibly challenging times, and I'm committed to continuing our support for learners to understand the wealth of opportunities that international languages bring. 

Our new curriculum for Wales offers the exciting opportunity to develop language-rich environments and provision across Wales, and it marks a change of culture from one of telling schools what to do and what to teach to one that gives the responsibility to those schools for developing a curriculum that works best for all of their learners, but within a national framework. And it will bring in the learning of international languages from a very early age, with clear expectations for learners' progress while at primary school. I've used this story before, I know, but it's such a delightful one, I'm going to use it again. A visit to a through-school in the community of Aberdare; I'm visiting their very youngest pupils, where the children were reading The Hungry Caterpillar, not just in English, and not just in Welsh, but learning the fruit and the items that the hungry caterpillar was munching through in Spanish as well. And just like Laura said, those children were oblivious to the fact that they were learning and improving their vocabulary in three different languages. For them, it was just the excitement of new words, new phrases, and the new sounds that they were listening to. And my goodness me, if we can roll that out across all of our foundation phase provision, my goodness me, what a wonderful, wonderful legacy we will be creating for those children. The removal of subject boundaries should empower schools to plan truly holistic language provision and schools should feel empowered to be creative and to develop meaningful learning opportunities.
