Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. I've made it clear that we cannot support the well-being of pupils and provide high-quality education unless the workforce feel that they are being supported. That means that workforce well-being must be at the forefront of everything that we do. Tackling workload must be a priority. The managing workload and reducing bureaucracy group, comprising key stakeholders from the education community, has identified and considered significant issues that have an impact on workload. The group is soon to sign off its recommendations, but I'm expecting proposals that will make a significant difference, such as ensuring that the term 'mock inspection' becomes obsolete, clarification around expectations for lesson planning and quality control particularly in primary schools, and ensuring all future communication and guidance is streamlined. I will also be establishing a new process within the education department, where all policies and reforms must consider the implications for workload.

An education system is only as good as the quality of its teachers. I am proud that we have such a dedicated workforce, and I know that they welcome the steps that we're taking towards a system driven by career-long professional learning. Later this week, I will be publishing the new national professional learning entitlement. This will bring together a package of professional learning for the entire education workforce so that anyone, wherever they are based in Wales, can benefit from it. This will be a live entitlement, curated as it evolves. It will make it easier for practitioners to access professional learning programmes, and it will set out our clear expectations on what every professional in Wales should be entitled to. If that entitlement is not currently in place, we will work at pace with partners to improve the offer.
