COMMENTING on concerns raised today about the effectiveness of the Assembly Government's Raise scheme to improve literacy among disadvantaged children, Shadow Education Minister Paul Davies AM said:
"We support measures to help children in disadvantaged and less well‐off communities reach their full potential.
"But this report raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of the Assembly Government's scheme to improve literacy among the nation's poorest children.
"Yet again a flagship Assembly Government scheme appears to be in trouble.
"And yet again ministers' rhetoric is exposed by the failure to deliver. "
