Labour’s school holiday reform must be scrapped
Responding to the statement from Labour’s Cabinet Secretary for Education on school holiday reform, Tom Giffard MS, Shadow Education Minister, said:
“Education in Wales is in crisis with soaring absenteeism, a shocking decline in education standards, the worst PISA results in the UK and rising incidences of violence plaguing our schools.
“We have long called for the Labour Government to scrap this distraction and get on with tackling the problems they have created in education over the past 25 years.
“Kicking this into the long grass is not good enough, Labour cannot ignore every teacher’s union, let alone the tourism and business sectors, who are against the plans, the policy needs to be scrapped completely.”
