Education
12th March 2012
Dr Francis: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what recent discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Education on the potential effect of his education reforms on educational priorities in Wales; and if she will make a statement.
Mr David Jones: The majority of the changes that are proposed by the Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend the Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove), will not apply in Wales.
I am committed to ensuring the best possible outcomes for school children and young people in education in Wales, and will continue to work with both the Department for Education and the Welsh Government to help achieve this.
