Thank you for that answer, First Minister. The impact of the pandemic on learners in Wales has been unprecedented. Pupils have faced huge upheavals and many have seen their best laid plans and career paths disrupted through no fault of their own. In a recent study on the further education sector, the International Public Policy Observatory found that vocational and apprenticeship courses have been disproportionately hit by the pandemic. Across the UK, take-up of vocational courses, such as engineering and construction, have declined, and the number of young people starting new apprenticeships fell by 46 per cent in 2020 compared with 2019. 

I know that the First Minister agrees that no-one must be left behind in our recovery, and I'm pleased at the Welsh Government's ambition when it comes to apprenticeships. However, we must make sure that we protect the pupils who have been through so much over the last 18 months. What measures can the Welsh Government take to ensure that those whose educational plans have been disrupted are supported and given every opportunity to restart?
