Standards and Quality in Education and Training in Wales
The Annual Report of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector presents the findings from inspections in almost every aspect of education and training in Wales. It describes standards, the quality of education and training, and leadership and management in the sample of education providers we inspected (one-sixth of all providers) during that period in Wales. The report highlights strengths in the quality of provision, offers advice on trends and issues and points out the areas for continuing development in the progress towards excellence for all learners.
