Education Improvement Grant: Gypsy, Roma and Traveller, and Minority Ethnic Children
Inquiry5
The
Children, Young People and Education
Committee undertook
an inquiry into Education
Improvement Grant: Gypsy, Roma and Traveller, and Minority Ethnic Children.
The overall aim of this inquiry was to consider the impact of amalgamating the
previously ring-fenced grants into the new Education Improvement Grant from
2015-16 on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller, and Minority Ethnic children. The inquiry
focused specifically on their educational outcomes and considered:
- How the Welsh Government monitored the
way local authorities use the Education Improvement Grant and how the new,
amalgamated grant supports Gypsy, Roma and Traveller, and Minority Ethnic
children, with specific reference to improving educational outcomes;
- the effectiveness of other Welsh
Government policies and strategies for supporting the education of Gypsy,
Roma and Traveller, and Minority Ethnic children; and
- any key issues arising from amalgamating
the other previously separate grants into the Education Improvement Grant.
