UCAC joined scores of people in Sgwâr Glyndwr, Aberystwyth on the evening of Monday 2 October to show solidarity with the people of Catalonia.
UCAC teachers’ union has welcomed Education in Wales: Our national mission, the Education action plan that has been launched today.
The document sets out the priorities for Wales’s education system from 2017 until 2021, within the context of the Welsh Government’s recently launched ‘Prosperity for All: the national strategy’.
Today, the Welsh Government announced £1.28m to fund a pilot scheme to introduce Business Managers to clusters of primary schools across Wales. The aim of the investment is to reduce the administrative burden on headteachers in order to free them up to concentrate on educational matters.
Also being launched today are 'Reducing Workload' guidelines approved by Welsh Government, Estyn, local authorities, regional education consortia, the Education Workforce Council, and education unions.
