The Welsh Government is considering adding another inset day to the school year. Up to 2019, there were five inset days a year but this was increased to six days for the three years to 2022 which has since been extended to 2023. However, education Minister Jeremy Miles has now said that he will launch a consultation on adding a seventh day for the next three academic years.
In a statement Mr Miles said on Tuesday that "research and inspection evidence reveals the single most important influence on learner success within the education system is the quality of teaching and learning" adding that "it is therefore important to ensure that teachers are supported to consider how the curriculum and other education reforms will impact on learner outcomes".
