Over the last five years, one of the things that I am particularly proud of is the instigation of our e-sgol, a virtual school that allows children to be able to access teachers and opportunities from across the globe. Only a matter of weeks ago, students in Wales had the opportunity to receive lessons from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the world's leading university. It did not require them to travel to Cambridge, Massachusetts; they were able to do that sitting in their own homes. We're delivering increasing amounts of remote learning via our e-sgol model, a model that initially was set up to respond to some of the logistical challenges of delivering education in a rural setting, but now authorities such as Cardiff are showing real interest in how they can adopt that model for their own children and young people, to increase educational experiences here in our capital city.

The Member is also right to talk about outdoor education, and that's why the Welsh Government's support for early years settings is not limited to buildings. We have seen during the last five years the beginnings of skogsmulle, which is a nursery setting that does not have an indoor space, where the entire day—well, the majority of the day—is spent learning outside. So, the range of funding programmes that we have here in Wales is perfectly able to capture schools in the widest possible definition.

Can I just say to the Member, when she says that Welsh medium is not central to the twenty-first century plan, in recent weeks I've got used to this kind of spin coming from the Member, but can I just refer her to the statement? I've announced today, on top of the £48 million that has already been invested—that is 100 per cent of the capital costs borne by the Welsh Government to be able to assist local authorities to drive forward their Welsh in education plans—a further £30 million today. That is opposed to the usual intervention rates for the programme. It's just one way in which we're developing Welsh-medium education, and of course we are reliant, I should remind the Member, on the fact that the plans that come forward to the twenty-first century schools programme are plans from our local education authorities. We don't impose them on our partners; it is they that come forward with the plans and the priorities that they have. What we are able to do as a Welsh Government is to make those plans more affordable when it comes to Welsh-medium education.

With regard to ventilation, well, ventilation is regulated by building regs. All approved schools must comply with our building regulation regime within Wales, and of course, since the pandemic, COVID guidance on ventilation has been issued too.

With regard to outdoor education, it is important to recognise that those outdoor education providers, many of them have been able to be assisted by Government grants and interventions that have been available to all businesses during the pandemic. We recognise what a really challenging, challenging time it has been for those operators that are either private businesses, some are owned by local authorities—indeed, some of them in Wales are owned by local authorities that are not within Wales—and some of them are charitable organisations, but I recognise that all of them have been hit. But as businesses, they have been able to access the range of funds that have been made available. And indeed, for some of our most prominent providers, such as the Urdd, the Welsh Government has been able to intervene to support that organisation especially. But I continue to work with my colleague Ken Skates on these issues, because I recognise that once we are able to get children back outside and enjoying these activities, these outdoor education centres have a really, really valuable role to play in our recovery from the pandemic. Providing children with the opportunity to get to them is really important to me. That's why I hope that before the end of this term, Deputy Presiding Officer, the Government will be in a place to provide extra amounts of help and support.
