Improving schools

On Wednesday 10 October the Minister for Education and Skills launched a new national implementation plan for 3 to 16 education in Wales called ‘Improving schools’.

The plan is targeted at leaders throughout the education system in Wales, from schools, local authorities and regional consortia through to government. In the document we have clearly set out what needs to be achieved at each level of the education system.

The actions set down in this new plan build on the Minister’s ‘Teaching makes a difference’ speech and the School Effectiveness Framework. The key actions aim to improve levels of literacy and numeracy and reduce the impact of deprivation.
