Education and skills
We want Wales to be a learning country where high quality lifelong learning helps people to make the most of their opportunities and reach their goals.
In this section of the website you will find information about our education policies and what support is available from us.
The Welsh Assembly Government aims to raise the levels of achievement of the people of Wales through its education and training policies. Through these policies it aims to achieve a social and economic well being that is vital to developing a prosperous economy.
We promote a culture of lifelong learning to help improve opportunities for people at all stages of their life, from school through college or university and for vocational or work based training.
