Valleys schoolchildren have lowest reading and numeracy skills

Schoolchildren in the valleys have the lowest reading and numeracy levels in Wales, the BBC has found.

Nick Bush, of Tir-phil near New Tredegar, is taking adult education courses to try and make up for his lack of basic skills.

The 23-year-old said he has to rely on other people to help him with simple tasks like budgeting or catching a train.
