Thank you, Llywydd, and thank you to everyone for their contributions to this afternoon's debate. It has been an important opportunity for Members to express their views on the annual report. As more than one contributor has said, education in Wales is changing, and we are implementing major changes and reforms in terms of the curriculum and additional learning needs and in other ways too. There are a number of challenges in terms of how we mitigate the impact of deprivation on the attainment of our young people, and more than one contributor has mentioned the importance of that in this afternoon's debate on the annual report. The report demonstrates that we have a great deal to take pride in in the education system. It also highlights the challenges that we have to address.
