Today in The Senedd we have seen a stark reminder of what Labour in Government looks like.
Pisa ratings published today show standards in Welsh education dropping and the gap to England getting even bigger. In fact, Wales' best ever ratings for reading and maths are still lower than Englands worst.
When challenged by Welsh Conservative Leader Andrew RT Davies, First Minister Mark Drakeford said: “just for the record to be clear, the maths scores in Wales fell, they fell by the exactly same number as the English maths scores fell.”
This was not the case as Wales’ maths PISA score fell by 21 points from 487 to 466. In England, the maths score only fell by 12 points from 504 to 492.
LABOUR MISQUOTING FIGUES RATHER THAN OWNING UP TO THEIR OWN FAILURE.
