Thank you for your statement, Minister. One of Taith’s stated aims, as you mentioned, is to improve access to international opportunities and the mobility it offers to all learners and students, including those with disabilities, additional learning needs, under-represented groups, and those from deprived and disadvantaged backgrounds. So, I'd like to ask how all of this is being measured so far. Are these numbers being monitored and measured within the different educational settings, in terms of higher education, further education, schools and youth services? And, if so, what is the ratio in terms of those who have benefited from the Taith opportunities—are those targets being met in that regard?

In creating an international learning exchange for Wales, it's true that a strong message was sent to international partners about our nation that our education institutions and Wales continues to be outward-looking and internationally focused, although Brexit pulled us out of a number of the valuable programmes that helped us to be so, and that we as a nation understand the value of fostering and sustaining international partnerships in the wider education community. There are, however, concerns that higher costs, resulting from the current economic situation, and the current imbalance in the programme, in terms of the 10:3 ratio of internal and external mobility, are going to impact upon institutions’ ability to forge viable and productive partnerships. What consideration is being given to the impact of this? Is this something that is being monitored? And is there a need to increase the internal and external rates to ensure that mobility? And, finally, in terms of those higher education students who come from Wales, is that number being monitored, and what is the ratio there?

Finally, the Taith website contains the following statement:

'Studying, volunteering or taking a work placement abroad broadens people’s horizons, expands their skills, and brings benefits to communities and organisations here in Wales.'

So, can you tell us, Minister, in what way the programme offers opportunities to highly vocational students, who are not studying for a degree or studying at a school or college? Are you content that there is no gap in the provision of opportunities to all kinds of apprentices too? Thank you.
