P-06-1261 Invest to ensure all schools have high quality, effective internet infrastructure and connectivity

This petition was submitted by Charles Green, having collected a total of 65 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

A good broadband connection has become essential for education in the 21st century. More should and must be done to ensure our schools are equipped with the best internet connection possible to provide equality to all, wherever pupils live in Wales.

Whilst the previous Welsh Government’s programme (20016-21) aimed to prioritise access to super-fast broadband, there continues to be schools where this is not the case.

Additional Information:

I call for there to be a true Gigabit (1000Mbps Service Obligation) connection to all primary and secondary schools in Wales, ensuring that no pupil is disadvantaged because of poor broadband speed in school.
