Today I am setting out how the commitment in our national mission action plan –to review the future direction, and roles and responsibilities of partners, and to further develop collaborative school improvement arrangements–will be taken forward.  I am pleased to announce that Professor Dylan E Jones has agreed to lead this important and timely review, the aims of which are:To clarify the roles and responsibilities of organisations and partners in the education system, how they can work together to support learners and practitioners and foster collaboration within and between clusters.To set expectations for school improvement arrangements for the Welsh education system which build upon current effective practice, reflect evidence and experiences from within Wales and internationally in this area.To explore the features of the current system, identifying what works well and less well, and how improvements might be made.To understand the breadth of views and experiences from across the system, sensitive to the pressures and of day-to-day activities continuing.To identify how capacity, collaboration and ways of working can be improved for the benefit of learners and all those who support learners across Wales.To help shape thinking so that there is a clear approach going forward; an approach which we can be confident is fit for the future.
