Question
What concrete steps is the Welsh Government taking to retain experienced educators in Flintshire and across Wales In light of the recent Estyn report as regards to Flintshire education services?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language (Anna Brychan)
The Welsh Government is taking a range of actions to support recruitment and retention across Wales, including in Flintshire. These include measures to reduce workload, improve pay and conditions, review teachers' planning, preparation and assessment (PPA) time, provide professional learning opportunities through Dysgu, and deliver targeted support such as the Welsh-medium teacher retention bursary pilot for Welsh-speaking secondary teachers.
We are committed to supporting and working in partnership with our education workforce and partners to ensure that teaching is a respected, attractive and rewarding career.
