The Committee has said on many occasions that it does not see the development and delivery of a national information and communication strategy as a matter of choice but as a matter of necessity. Education underpins everything that we achieve as individuals and together as a community. In order to give our children, our future, the best start in life we must make sure that we provide them with the highest quality of educational opportunities. The information and communication technology strategy will be a valuable contribution to this. The benefits that children and young people will reap from this will give them the firm foundation upon which they will be able to compete for high quality highly paid jobs. If we have the people with skills then the National Economic Strategy for Wales will have a sound platform on which to build economic enterprise and wealth. Not only should it be possible to attract high calibre companies to Wales but it should also provide the skills base for young people to become the entrepreneurs of the future. It brings the links between education and training closer, leading to greater flexibility in its delivery and supporting individualised forms of learning and accreditation. The Committee sees as a fundamental issue the need to establish a culture of using information and communications technologies in schools to raise educational standards. It is also part of the continuum of education and training and should not be seen in isolation from the further and higher education sectors nor from the opportunities for life-long learning. It is essential that those sectors look at what is happening in our schools and build and support that in their own areas. I would like to thank Huw Lewis and Jonathan Morgan on behalf of the Committee for the work they have put into this review. They accepted the role of leading on it and undertook that task diligently on the Committee’s behalf. Cynog Dafis AM Chair to the Committee 1 Introduction The Education and Life-Long Learning Committee is established under the Government of Wales Act 1998 and Standing Order 9. Its remit covers education and life-long learning, this includes, amongst other things, the national curriculum and qualifications, all aspects of schools administration and organisation, further and higher education, supply side employment policy, including the New Deal and the work of the employment service, career services and work related training. The Committee took over this policy review from the previously established Pre 16 Education, Schools and Early Learning Committee in November 2000. The Assembly Minister who has responsibility for this area of work is Jane Davidson A.M. The Committee's membership is: Lorraine Barrett Labour Cardiff South and Penarth Cynog Dafis (Chair) Plaid Cymru Mid and West Wales Jane Davidson (Assembly Minister) Labour Pontypridd Janice GregoryLabour Ogmore Christine Humphreys Liberal Democrats North Wales Pauline Jarman Plaid Cymru South Wales Central Gareth Jones Plaid Cymru Conwy Huw Lewis Labour Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney Jonathan Morgan Conservative South Wales Central Alun Pugh Labour Clwyd West 3 Chapter 1: Background to Report Remit of the Policy Review The Committee began this policy review by focusing on the local education authority (LEA) procurement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for schools, however while gathering information from organisations it became clear that the remit needed to be widened. The remit for stage 1 was agreed by the Committee at its meeting on 14th July 1999 and revised to include stage 2 at its meeting on 12th April 2000 (PRE 16 05-00). The full remit is set out below: Stage 1 To investigate the development of the National Grid for Learning (NGfL) in Wales with a view to: i. Reviewing progress towards the target of linking all schools to the Grid by 2002; ii. Considering the scope for greater co-operation between LEAs as they develop their own learning networks with a particular focus on joint procurement; and iii. To consider the need for further specialist guidance to LEAs on the most effective networking solutions for schools. Stage 2 To take forward the findings of stage 1 by: i. An examination of the merits of developing a National Framework Agreement to support procurement so as to achieve economies of scale; ii. An investigation as to why the NGfL managed service do not meet the needs of Welsh LEAs and explore with Association of Directors of Education Wales (ADEW) ways in which this could be improved; iii. An exploration with ADEW, Qualification Curriculum and Assessment Authority for Wales (ACCAC) and other interested parties as to whether the establishment of a National ICT network based in the public sector is feasible for Wales, and the implications in time and resources of establishing such a network; 5 iv. An examination of ways to establish greater co-operation across Wales in the development of bilingual educational software that supports the national curriculum; v. A review of the delivery of training in ICT for teachers in Wales and the support available to them on the use of ICT in delivering the national curriculum; and vi. Examining the merits of creating a NGfL, Wales team to develop and maintain the NGfL website in Wales that meets the needs of teachers in Wales. Consultation The Committee began its review by consulting with all LEAs in Wales through their Directors of Education and Information Technology Advisors. Copies of the responses received can be accessed at www.wales.gov.uk under Pre 16 Education, Schools and Early Learning Committee for the meeting on 15th December as paper PRE 16 10-99 (p.5) together with a summary of the responses. The written responses were supported by a number of oral presentations to the Committee, which are recorded in the Committee's minutes. This consultation focused on four key issues: • reviewing progress towards the target of linking all schools to the grid by 2002; • considering the scope for greater co-operation between LEAs as they develop their own learning networks with a particular focus on joint procurement; • considering the need for further specialist guidance to LEAs on the most effective networking solutions for schools; and • considering the extent to which schools and LEAs in Wales will be investing in National Grid for Learning managed services and, where they are not doing so, what plans are in place for schools to be supplied with an equivalent service. It became clear that there was a lack of common vision and direction in introducing and using ICT in schools across Wales, not least at LEA level. However, the Committee was heartened by the general acknowledgement that there was a need for a national strategy with strong leadership by the National Assembly. In this context it welcomed the publication of the prospectus 'ICT for Learning'. 6 There were concerns for the three elements of connectivity - the network needed to support the strategy and the personal computers needed for teachers and pupils to use; competency - the training needs of the teaching staff, technical support and the level skill that pupils should be achieving; and content - what was available for teachers and pupils to use to support their professional development and curriculum studies in both the Welsh and English languages. The Committee agreed at this stage to widen the scope of its review and invited Huw Lewis A.M. and Jonathan Morgan A.M. to lead on it. The Committee also decided that an expert adviser should be appointed to assist Huw Lewis and Jonathan Morgan in their work. Expert Adviser After an open competition, Neil Harries, the retired Director of Education for Caerphilly Borough Council was appointed as the Committee's Expert Adviser on ICT in Schools. Principles The Committee agreed that the ICT strategy should be based on the following principles: • all pupils have an equal right to knowledge about and familiarity with ICT through the education system, this pre-supposes that pupils must have access to technology; • that the personal computer in the classroom must be an integral part of the tuition system for all; • that teaching methods will be adapted to facilitate this and that pupils will be afforded sufficient access; and that • schools must provide the individual pupil with the capacity to develop competencies throughout life, as part of life-long learning. Objectives of the Strategy By adopting these principles the ICT Strategy should ensure that: • all pupils have equitable access to ICT; • all pupils will leave school with the technology skills needed in today's world and tomorrow's workplace; 7 • all teachers will be properly equipped to use technology as a tool to achieve high academic standards; • the needs of both Welsh and English languages are properly met; • all parents and communities are kept informed of key decisions in the teaching of ICT in schools; and • that Wales invests in the development of educational software for its schools, with the support of research and development.

  • 2020 Flood Survey Report
    1 "WE HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN ABOUT." 2020 FLOOD SURVEY REPORT Commissioned by Leanne Wood MS and Rhondda Cynon Taf Plaid Cymru Councillors regarding flooding in Rhondda Cynon Taf in 2020 Written by C. AMOSS. 2 3 Contents 04 Statement by Leanne Wood MS 05 Introduction 06 Executive Summary 08 Pontypridd Constituency Flooding 16 Rhondda Constituency Flooding 30 Cynon Valley Constituency Flooding 34 Impact and After Effects : Conclusion 37 Recommendations 38 Appendix 4 Statement by Leanne Wood MS In February many people’s lives were turned upside down when Storm Dennis resulted in water entering their homes and businesses. Some people had been flooded before and some were flooded after that day in February, but more havoc was wreaked during that one weather event than had ever been seen in our communities. Scientists have been warning for years that the impacts of the climate crisis will be felt by more people as time goes on. As well as working to combat the causes of the climate crisis, governments – both local and national – have a duty to keep people safe and do whatever is possible to prevent people from being flooded. They should also provide support and do everything in their power to protect people and property in the future. This report analyses the survey responses of those who were flooded in Rhondda Cynon Taf and makes recommendations for action. It also shows the human cost of these floods and the toll it takes on the physical and mental health of many affected – something that has been noticeably absent from the documents produced by the authorities to date.

  • The Annual Report of the House Committee 2003-04
    Assembly Members' Services 2003-2004 (the Second Annual Report of the House Committee under Standing Order 18.12, dealing with the year 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004) October 2004 Foreword by the Presiding Officer This has been the first year of the Second Assembly, and began with the Second Assembly Elections, a time of challenge and change for both Members and staff of the Assembly Parliamentary Service. The assistance we were able to provide to welcome Members after the elections and to help them to settle into their new roles was very much appreciated. We continue to set an example of equality with a National Assembly that is now gender- balanced, having 30 women and 30 men in its membership. The opening of the Second Assembly, by Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Earl of Merioneth more widely known as the Duke of Edinburgh, was an enjoyable and significant occasion. We also received distinguished visitors from many countries around the world, including Helen Clark, Prime Minister of New Zealand and President Minister Erwin Teufel of Baden-Wurrtemburg, who addressed the Assembly. I was also pleased to welcome Speakers from Australia, the United States of America, Croatia and Congo. As with all evolving democratic institutions, the first year of the Second Assembly has seen change in the way we operate and do business. Different seating arrangements in the Chamber have heralded a change in the tone of debate, also prompted by the intake of new Members (just under 25%) and the shift in balance between the parties.
