Meanwhile, in the wider world of education, Wales is heading for an important staging post on the curriculum reform journey: by the time we come back into your ears in September, the new Curriculum for Wales will be happening in schools all over the country.

We welcome an alumna of the (sadly departed) Teach First Cymru programme today. Bethan Jeffers has now moved sideways into a job working for the Skills Builder Partnership. Set up by Tom Ravenscroft (not, as Tom initially thought, the music broadcaster and son of the late Radio 1 DJ John Peel, but an educator, strangely enough), Skills Builder aims to provide businesses and education institutions with a framework to recognise those all-important basic skills that are so vital for getting on in t...

It's time to hit the road (for about a mile) and make an enormous mess of wires and microphones in the nerve-centre of Welsh Government. We travelled to Cathays Park for a chat with our second education minister since we started the podcast. Jeremy Miles has been the minister for education and the Welsh language for just under a year now, and with the implementation of the new curriculum for Wales just a few short months away, it wasn't hard to work out what we needed to ask him about. Our in-d...
