7 Welsh Liberal Democrats Debate (60 mins)

NDM5593 Aled Roberts (North Wales)

 

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

 

1. Welcomes that the Welsh Government, together with the Welsh Liberal Democrats, have secured an additional £95m of funding over two years in the new budget for the Pupil Deprivation Grant.

 

2. Welcomes that funding has also been extended to include the Early Years Pupil Premium for children under the age of 5.

 

3. Recognises that the two year budget deal helps address concerns expressed by schools in previous years of the scheme regarding the continuity of funding.

 

4. Recognises the importance of both schemes in helping break the link between poverty and educational under-achievement, and in closing the attainment gap between pupils from disadvantaged and more advantaged backgrounds.

 

The following amendments have been tabled:

Amendment 1 - Elin Jones (Ceredigion)

Delete all and replace with:

1. Notes the real term cut of £56m in this year's education budget which includes cuts of £5m to the School Effectiveness Grant and £10.7m to the Young Recruits apprenticeships scheme.

2. Notes further cuts of £26.4m in the draft budget to post-16 education compared with the supplementary budget for June 2014.

3. Believes that the Welsh Government has broken the spirit of previous budget deals and rejects budget tinkering while fundamental flaws remain.

Amendment 2 - Paul Davies (Preseli Pembrokeshire)

Add as new point at end of motion:

Notes that a formal evaluation of the Pupil Deprivation Grant is not yet available.
