Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. Our national mission action plan was published in 2017. Since that time, we have made great strides in education. Amongst many other things, we are rolling out the Curriculum for Wales, implementing a new additional learning needs system, and establishing the commission for tertiary education and research. I am proud of what we have achieved, but we must continue to look ahead and plan for the future. So, I am very pleased to introduce our new road map for education—high standards and aspirations for all. This sets out our priorities for education, and the timetable for delivery this Senedd term.

For the first time, we are setting out a coherent and cohesive road map, which covers the breadth of education in and for Wales, from early years to post-16 and beyond, because our education system should span a lifetime of learning.
