Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and acknowledged it
had exceeded the threshold to be considered for a debate. However Members
agreed that there was little point in asking for a debate on this specific
issue immediately because of the upcoming budget debate in February.
The Committee agreed to forward the petitioner’s comments to the Cabinet Secretary for Education and copy in the Chair of the Senedd’s Children, Young People and Education Committee, as a priority for consideration in its budget scrutiny reporting.
