National Assembly for Wales

We have a clear strategy to support international language learning set out in our 'Global Futures' 2022-2025 plan. The plan outlines how we and our Global Futures partners will continue to support our schools. I recently agreed to extend this plan for a further year.

To boost school standards, our education workforce must be fully supported. We fund a range of professional learning for all practitioners including induction for new teachers, continuous professional learning opportunities for teachers and support staff and a pathway to support teachers on their journey to senior leadership and headship.

The Welsh Government is working closely with Powys County Council to enable them to support learners with additional learning needs and deliver on their statutory responsibilities within the ALN legislative framework. This includes significantly increased ALN funding, termly meetings to discuss delivery, and sharing information, guidance and effective practice.  

Working together with Medr and other partners, we support and promote a range of measures to ensure opportunities are available for all who wish to do so to access further learning, whatever route they choose to take and irrespective of their background. 

I welcome the report from the Bevan Foundation and Housing Justice Cymru and will consider its findings. We continue to work with Housing Justice Cymru and Cwmpas, along with partners across the sector, to realise the potential of land and buildings across Wales.

So far, this Senedd term we have delivered nearly 9,000 more homes for rent in the social sector with some of the highest levels of delivery since records began in 2007-08.
