A good education is the best start we can give our children and young people, and is the foundation on which we will build the future of our nation.
From cradle to career and beyond, we will focus on getting the basics right, and giving everyone the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
Education is at the very heart of our ambition for Wales – the key to unlocking new and better opportunities, and building the more confident, innovative and productive nation we know Wales can be.
We know how important the early years are in laying the groundwork for lifelong development and well-being. A Plaid Cymru government will expand access to quality childcare, to give every child the best possible start, support families with their household bills, and create new opportunities for parents to return to work.
We will raise the bar on educational standards in our schools, and empower our dedicated education workforce to do what they do best – teach.
We will ensure that all our learners are able to access the pathway that is right for them, with the same status for vocational and technical education as for academic routes.
And we will put our universities on a new and sustainable footing for the future.
