So, schools in Wales have been establishing mobilities to Belgium, to Bangladesh, to Canada and to Colombia and creating that network at a school level, where, previously, the focus would have been at a higher education level principally.
He asked me to confirm the availability to all parts of the education sector. I think there were fewer applications from the further education sector than perhaps I would have liked to have seen in the first call, and so, we've just opened up a second Pathway 1, which is specific to FE and VET sectors, to give them a second opportunity to be able to apply. I'm very much looking forward to seeing positive engagement from colleges in the second call; I'm confident that we will see that. We've had positive discussions both with ColegauCymru and the Taith team to make sure that they're engaging with colleges right across Wales to support them in their applications. I'm sure that all Members will feel that it's really important to make sure that all learners in all sectors have the best possible opportunities.
