Plaid Cymru faces losing first key Senedd vote
The party didn't get a majority in the Senedd which means it will need support from across the Senedd chamber, yet it is struggling to find support for its supplementary budget

We have seen LAs and the profession united on the need for significant investment in ALN to support our most vulnerable learners, but this government has chosen to ignore the pleas for support. Read our press release here: www.naht.org.uk/News/Latest-... @naht.org.uk
School leaders respond to Welsh Government supplementary budget
Commenting as the new Welsh Government sets out its supplementary budget for 2026-27, Laura Doel, national secretary of school leaders’ union NAHT, said: “NAHT has long campaigned to ensure schools get the help and support they need to tackle the significant backlog in school repairs, so the additional capital funding promised for buildings is welcomed and will go some way to plugging the gap. “£2m on swimming lessons is an interesting addition, and £15m to expand free school meals in...

Is this real investment or just keeping the lights on? Much of the new budget is being swallowed by rising utility bills and teacher pay, vital for keeping schools open, but it leaves daily classroom life feeling pretty much the same. www.gov.wales/written-stat... @naht.org.uk @senedd.wales

NAHT Cymru says focus on teacher incentive payment a 'sticking plaster' risking two-tier workforce
Responding to the Welsh Government's move to raise the incentive paid to attract and retain new teachers in 'priority' subject areas, Laura Doel, national secretary of school leaders' union NAHT Cymru, said: “While we agree that an ambitious plan to help schools struggling with recruitment and retention of teachers is needed, we don’t think focusing on subject-specific incentives is the way to go. “This risks creating a two-tier workforce and appears to be a short-term sticking plaster...
