—we will now move on to apprenticeships. And we've touched a little on apprenticeships already, but we'll return to the topic, because I know that a number of our Members are very interested in it. I'll turn to you now, Beca, please.

Diolch. Catherine.

Thank you, Deputy Minister. This is not necessarily a question simply based on HE, but a question that encapsulates a number of our themes: could you provide us with more information on the future funding for Taith?

Welsh Government General Scrutiny Session
Can I come in there? I had a question on that, and Mair makes a good point. My question was: will the review encompass the effectiveness and efficiency of the processes and procedures of universities? So, exactly as you said, bringing those processes and…

Lynne, perhaps we can agree to follow up as a committee on that particular roll-out of that programme. As you say, if they've been reflecting for a while, we need to understand why. Diolch. Mair.

One final question, Lynne, before we move on.

Thank you. If there are no further questions on this theme, we will move on to higher education. I know that many people want to come in on this theme of HE. Lynne, I'll turn to you first of all.

Welsh Government General Scrutiny Session
Thank you. I wanted to ask a question about the importance of developing vocational routes, but you've answered that, I think. That's something that's very important to me, particularly when we see more learners now who are unable to pursue academic or…

Claire, would you like to come in?
, Early Years, Children, Young People and Education Committee
Welsh Government General Scrutiny Session
Thank you. We'll return to apprenticeships, as it is a separate theme that we have. Art sneaked a question in there, but that's fine, Art, not a problem at all. I have a great number of speakers now. So, Sam, if you could come in.

Welsh Government General Scrutiny Session
Thank you, Deputy Minister. Thank you, Members, for what we've had so far. But we'll move on now to the next theme, if possible, which is vocational education and training. Again, a number of people want to come in here. I'll turn to Art first of all, if…

Thank you very much for giving us that assurance, Deputy Minister. Are there any further questions on Welsh-medium education and training? Lis.
, Early Years, Children, Young People and Education Committee
Welsh Government General Scrutiny Session
Also, it's important to note, Members, that we will return to budget scrutiny specifically with the Deputy Minister and those responsibilities when information about the budget is available to us, of course. In terms of this theme, it's quite a broad one, and…
