In conclusion, I also think that we need to look at how other subjects within the new curriculum would strengthen or would enforce RSE in its core aims. Plaid Cymru has long campaigned to see more emphasis on Welsh history, including the LGBTQ+ history of Wales, in the new curriculum, and I'm pleased to see reference to this in our co-operation agreement with the Government. It is crucial that pupils learn about the historic context, how we got to where we are today as a society, if they are to understand and find their way within that society. So, I'd like to know, in conclusion, how RSE is to be reflected and supported by other subjects within the curriculum, such as history. Thank you.
