John Griffiths: ..., yng Nghasnewydd, sef GD Environmental. Maent yn arallgyfeirio ar hyn o bryd, ac fe wnaethom ymweld â'u stiwdio ffilm, yn Nhrefonnen yng Nghasnewydd, lle mae Urban Myth yn ffilmio'r gyfres Sex Education. Mae'r cyfan yn mynd yn dda iawn, ac mae'r berthynas gyda Cymru Greadigol wedi bod yn ddefnyddiol iawn, Weinidog, ac rwy'n siŵr y byddwch yn falch o wybod hynny. Ond mae ganddynt...
Jeremy Miles: .... Equity and inclusion are at the heart of both the additional learning needs system and the Curriculum for Wales, which aim to help ensure that all children and young people have access to an education that enables them to reach their potential.
Mark Drakeford: ...statement here on the floor of the Senedd practical action that is being taken to increase the provision of NHS dentistry for children, including the pilot that the Minister set out in secondary schools—a pilot being carried out in north Wales in the first instance, and we hope, if it is successful, to be able to do more of that elsewhere. In Powys, to which Jane Dodds referred directly,...
Darren Millar: ...receipt of funds from the Welsh Government that are yet to adopt the IHRA definition; and indeed, some of them have outright rejected it. This is particularly concerning, I think, in our higher education sector. We have eight universities in Wales; only one, Bangor University, has adopted the IHRA definition, and that compares extremely badly to the higher education system in other parts...
Janet Finch-Saunders: ...attacks on sheep. I know that, recently, Dan Jones from the Great Orme in Llandudno and other farmers have approached me about the horrific sights and scenes that you see. There needs to be more education, really, for dog owners. There needs to be more education. I know that, in the days when we had dog wardens, they would go in and liaise with pupils so that they could go home and say,...
Darren Millar: ...new jobs, which I hope will be well-paid jobs across the whole of Wales, as a result of the zones. And, therefore, there's going to need to be a very close working relationship with the higher education sector and the further education college sector as well. So, I wonder what action the Welsh Government is taking to make sure that there is a dialogue and an alignment with our education...
Jeremy Miles: ...last 12 months, we've looked across the UK and internationally to inform policy, drawing on the expertise of organisations like the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Education Endowment Foundation. As I set out last year, we know from research and inspection evidence that schools that couple effective learning and teaching with a focus on family engagement are...
Janet Finch-Saunders: ...be properly used without the sufficient number of Welsh-language teachers in Wales? It's not just the lack of teachers to utilise the materials that concerns me. It's crucial that, with cuts to the education budget now announced by your Government, you ensure this company delivers on its stated mission and proves itself to be a good use of Welsh Government funding and efforts. We always...
Mabon ap Gwynfor: ...and understand the proposed legislation is entirely unacceptable. The purpose of devolution, as weak as it is, is to give us the power to set policy in specific areas here in Wales, such as health, education, the environment and housing. Transferring those powers back to Westminster is contrary to the will of the people of Wales. It is entirely unacceptable. This Westminster legislation...
Jane Hutt: ...substantially our discretionary assistance fund, and also, as you say, it's as a result of part of our co-operation agreement with Plaid Cymru, the fact that we have those commitments for primary school pupils of free school meals that have rolled out. Can I just also say that it's really important that it's extending to free school meal holiday provision, being available now for children...
Jane Hutt: ...we have a got a more generous childcare offer, and indeed, with Flying Start, a much more generous childcare offer for those who most need it as well, in terms of parents returning to work through education and training, that's not being offered in the UK Government childcare offer. But let me just go back to the sanctions. The fact that primary carers of children as young as one or two...
Altaf Hussain: ...transferable skills to young people and help them become active citizens. Minister, will you join me in congratulating the Maesteg division, and will you work with your colleague the Minister for education to explore ways to promote the opportunities of the St John Ambulance Cymru cadets to young people?
Jenny Rathbone: ...of accommodation, or they'll just be on the street. Given they've been here for 18 months since the Afghan withdrawal, there's clearly concern that people will be in jobs, they'll have children in school. So, how is the Welsh Government able to ensure that these people are provided with suitable housing offers to not disrupt the links they've already made, and prevent them from becoming...
Jenny Rathbone: ...because a lot of people don't understand why they're suffering the way they are with their periods, because people who work here today won't have had the benefit of the relationships and sexuality education that we're now giving to young people.
Jenny Rathbone: ..., and who'd obviously enjoyed the rest of their lives in Wales. At the same time, there was somebody outside the windows of the Neuadd promoting disinformation about relationships and sexuality education, which was very unfortunate, in all sorts of ways. There was nothing that anybody could have done about it at the time, but it was just not good. I suppose there should have been some...
Mike Hedges: ...in our tax system are such that it’s easy to legally reduce liability. On the estimated council reserves, I assume that this figure’s taken from councils' consolidated accounts and includes schools' reserves. There are just under 1,500 schools in Wales, which would make £15 million if the average school balance was £10,000, and £45 million if it was £30,000. Why do schools need...
Huw Irranca-Davies: ...We really need to implement in full the recommendations of the endometriosis task and finish group report from 2018, and this included that knowledge of menstrual health must be embedded within the education system, and resources must be developed to support this for the whole of Wales. Now, we have had a big step forward in 2021, with mandatory menstrual well-being education included in...
