How Wales Works: Schools in the spotlight in debate

Three leading education figures in Wales have warned of huge challenges involved in introducing a new school curriculum by 2021.

Policy expert Anna Brychan (left), David Reynolds (centre), professor of education at Southampton University and a Welsh government adviser, and ATL teaching union director Philip Dixon (right) were taking part in the BBC's How Wales Works education debate.

It is hoped the new curriculum, based on an independent review by Prof Graham Donaldson of Glasgow University, can be made available to teachers by 2018.

The aim is to drastically improve standards, after Wales fell significantly behind the rest of the UK in key subjects.

The debate was chaired by BBC Wales political correspondent Arwyn Jones.
