NEU Cymru ask Welsh Government to save education in Wales

Published:

Speaking about the vote on the Welsh Government's budget today, National Education Union (NEU) Cymru, Wales Secretary, Nicola Fitzpatrick, said:

"NEU Cymru members are really clear - education must be a priority for the Welsh Government. 

"Schools are at breaking point. Children and young people are missing out on vital support, especially those with additional learning needs. Teachers and support staff are seeing their workloads increase, whilst supporting children with increasingly complex needs.

"Whilst it is welcome that the Welsh Government has found some extra money, this wont go far enough to support the drops in funding experienced across Wales. Welsh Government needs to find the funding to save education in Wales, and support the workforce to deliver for every child."
