Thank you, Llywydd. Gaining access to high-quality bilingual educational resources and supporting materials is central to our vision and mission for education in Wales. High-quality educational resources made in Wales for Wales will enhance the quality of learning and promote learner progression.
That is why, in March last year, I announced my intention to set up a company specifically to oversee the provision of purposeful, high-quality and timely teaching and learning materials. I'm pleased to say today that Adnodd has been established and will become operational from 1 April.
Adnodd will provide a platform for collaboration and co-construction, which will bring a more strategic approach to the provision and commissioning of educational resources. It will ensure parity and equity in provision in Welsh and English. It will guarantee high-quality resources, and make the most of the expertise available nationally.
