Annual
Report for 2014-15 of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Education and Training
in Wales
The
following amendments have been tabled:
Amendment 1
- Elin Jones (Ceredigion)
Add
as new point at end of motion:
Notes
that the Estyn report states that "Schools with successful leaders have a
strong culture of professional learning and focus on improving the quality of
teaching and learning" and believes that paying a teaching premium to
highly qualified education staff who maintain their professional development
would be a significant contribution to raising teaching standards.
Amendment 2
- Paul Davies (Preseli Pembrokeshire)
Add
as new point at end of motion:
Notes
that this year's Estyn report shows that more needs to be done to narrow the
attainment gap between secondary school pupils in receipt of free school meals
and their peers.
Amendment 3
- Aled Roberts (North Wales)
Add
as new point at end of motion:
Believes
that at a time of increasing pupil numbers in primary schools, school closures,
and teacher shortages, smaller class sizes for infants are ever more important to
give teachers the time to properly teach our children.
