Thank you to Natasha Asghar MS for raising this vital issue during yesterday's budget debate. We have previously warned Welsh Government that the funding gap risks shutting young people out of education. We now urge all parties to work together to protect learners, skills, and Wales’ future economy.

‘With the rise of far-right politics both in the UK and abroad, harmful narratives about the role of women have increasingly begun to circulate unchecked’ 👇
