Teachers are being given anti-racism training in Wales and is the first UK nation to make the history of Britain’s colonial past mandatory in school lessons in an attempt to boost teacher numbers.
Commenting on the news, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies MS said:
“Wales has seen a 10% fall in teacher numbers since 2011, which represents 4,000 fewer teachers despite there being 7,000 more students.
“From poor morale, to large class sizes and the shambolic implementation of the new curriculum, the Labour Government are making no efforts to compete for and retain great teaching talent.
“This decision represents little more than a sticking plaster that will do nothing to attract more teachers to Wales. Labour needs to do better.”
