HC Deb 14 February 1994 vol 237 c630W
27. Mr. Rowlands

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what new initiatives he intends to take to improve education in Wales.

Sir Wyn Roberts

We have a comprehensive programme of reforms to improve standards in education and to provide improved opportunities for all. We are currently implementing the wide-ranging provisions of the Education Act 1993 and have introduced further legislative proposals on teacher training matters. We announced on 5 January the changes that will be made as a result of the review of the national curriculum. These changes will be implemented promptly and fully. They will remove bureaucracy and over-prescription and substantially ease the burden on teachers.
