P-06-1261 Invest to ensure all schools have high quality, effective internet infrastructure and connectivity - Correspondence from the petitioner, 21 June 2022

Dear Committe members,

The Petition is about equality for all schools in Wales.

Out of 189 secondary schools in Wales, that now have a Gigabit connection, there are lots that still do not have this connection. Again, where is the detail, the break down by local authority, to demonstrate that all schools and authorities are taking advantage of this technology?

Jeremy Miles acknowledges its importance, unfortunately the lack of detail within the latest response is as expected.

Why is it down to schools and local authorities set the standards, again, this should be lead and delivered by Welsh Government to all schools in Wales, ensuring all pupils have the same opportunities.

I fear the lack of a detailed response and any meaningful break down of schools within each local authority, paints a picture to unpalatable to bare. The youth of Wales deserve better!
