I’m happy to see if I can help

This is something that @naomipohl.bsky.social and I discussed with the Cabinet Secretary for Education on Thursday and that I hope to continue working on with the culture and education teams.

The University must continue to work with unions to avoid redundancies.

It's also crucial that Welsh Government works with universities, unions, and businesses to ensure arts and humanities subjects are available across Wales given the economic importance of the creative industries.

We'll continue to engage with Welsh Government on the National Music Service, to:
- seek additional funding (at least £5m/year)
- work on improving pay and conditions for instrumental and vocal teachers
- secure a union seat on the advisory board, in line with social partnership principles

However, it's disappointing that the amount (£4m/year) is actually a real terms cut of over 21% compared to 2022, when the service was created. Extra funding is needed to support Welsh Government’s ambition of increasing access to music education for all young people.
