Commenting on the news that the Labour Government are looking into reforming the school holidays, Welsh Conservative Shadow Education Minister, Laura Anne Jones MS said:
“There are many issues with Labour’s plans to reform the school year, with the biggest impact potentially being felt by pupils, teachers and parents. As well as an already struggling tourism sector.
“The Labour Government must learn the lesson from their disastrous 20mph consultation and listen to parents and teachers on this before they move forward with any plans.
“Whilst we support reforming the school day, Reform to both the day and the holiday cannot take place without compelling hard evidence on why it is needed and the positive difference it would make to pupils and teachers. This must not be based on perception or opinion.”
