The Welsh Socialist manifesto for education

All levels of education have been underfunded in Wales which has meant larger and larger class sizes, cancellation of courses and over-worked education workers. TUSC calls for:

• Publicly-provided nursery care to be available to all children in Wales.
• Extended maternity leave.
• More outdoor teaching areas in primaries – stop the sell-off & building on school playing fields.
• Limit teachers’ workload.
• Further education colleges to be brought back under local authority control.
• No class sizes over 20 through the employment of extra teachers.
• Education is a right – not a privilege – so university tuition fees should be scrapped and a grant paid to allow students to study without having to work through uni etc.
