P-05-872– Protect school
funding or admit to the weakening of service provision
This
petition was submitted by James Wilkinson having collected a total of 5,784
signatures.
Text of Petition
We
call upon the Welsh Government to protect funding to schools and, if they
cannot, to acknowledge the impact of cuts on educational provision,
particularly for our most vulnerable learners.
As
cuts continue to council budgets, and these cuts are passed on to schools,
governing bodies are being asked to make impossible decisions about which vital
educational services should be removed from our schools.
This
will mean reduced provision for pupils with additional learning needs, less
support for vulnerable learners, a narrowed curriculum choice, insufficient
learning resources and dilapidated buildings.
These
are not the foundations on which schools can be expected to construct and
implement a world leading educational curriculum.
Status
This petition was
considered completed by the Petitions Committee at its meeting on 05/11/19.
The Committee considered further correspondence and,
in light of the detailed consideration very recently given to school funding by
the Children, Young People and Education Committee, the Minister’s acceptance
of that Committee’s recommendations, and her actions in commissioning an urgent
review of school funding, agreed to close the petition on the basis that there
is little it could add to this scrutiny at the current time.
Full details of the consideration of this petitions
by the committee and related documents can be seen on the Meetings tab above.
