 In Wales, education is compulsory from the ages of 5 to 16. After the age of 16, people can choose to continue learning in different ways. We call this Post-Compulsory Education and Training, or PCET. Even though PCET is an English term, it's used by Welsh language speakers too. A 2016 review into PCET found weaknesses in the existing system and felt that learners might not be able to understand the learning and career paths available to them. To improve PCET in Wales, the review suggested an overarching vision and a new organisation to manage the system. The Welsh Government accepted these suggestions and now needs your views on plans to make some of the most important changes. One of these changes is about the creation of the new organisation which will be called the Tertiary Education and Research Commission for Wales. The Commission would be responsible for planning, funding and monitoring PCET as well as managing relationships to help improve quality. A key part of the Commission's work will also be about protecting the interests of learners and making sure vocational and academic roots are equally valued. The Welsh Government wants to ensure that learners have clear and flexible learning and career pathways and improved information and advice on options. It's also important that existing barriers to education and training are removed so that all people who want to improve their skills and career options can benefit. So if you have thoughts about these plans, have your say and join the consultation.
