Mohammad Asghar AM has called on the Welsh Government to put measures in place to ensure improvements in standards of education in South East Wales are maintained.

Mohammad Asghar said, “I welcome the fact that four local education authorities in my region, Blaenau Gwent, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire and Torfaen have now been removed from special measures.”

“It is vital that the Welsh Government puts in place measures to ensure strong progress is maintained in improving the standard of education delivered by these authorities.”

Mr Asghar said he hoped to raise this matter during Education Questions in the National Assembly
