Many 18-year-olds are reluctant to go to University and seek further education due to looming tuition fees and debt after they leave University. England has the highest tuition fees in the world (from a 2021 study by the OECD looking at publicly funded third-level institutions). This is mindblowing considering Scotland has free tuition fees just next-door. This looming threat of extremely high tuition fees are stopping students from going to University and preventing them from being able to reach their full potential. If the Government takes action on this issue, having England charge tuition fees much lower in accordance to all other countries in the world, many more students will be willing to further their education and go to University (as only around 50% choose to go). By not only increasing the amount of education and knowledge the public has, it will also further the likelihood of people having higher paying jobs which would increase the amount of taxes they pay, thus boosting the UK economy.

I am asking all local parents to support this cause. As if it is agreed then this will help every parent to either purchase more food or be able to use the electricity and gas more. Therefore, improving the quality of every child's life. As every child matters. Irrespective of wealth and ability to pay

My mother always asks me to help her with her computer. If there was free tuition, she could do it herself. I'm sure it's a common situation in families.

This is important because children and teenagers are already struggling with anxiety due to the pandemic, personal issues and school. School should be a safe place, where they should feel comfortable to express themselves and generally be comfortable. It should not be a place they fear going are stress too much over.

As part of a Section 106 agreement with the Vale of Glamorgan Council the Waterfront Consortium committed to build a new school to support the expansion of Ysgol St Baruc which will cater for the growing Waterfront development and the local demand for Welsh medium education. The current Ysgol St Baruc comprises a main Victorian building and a two classroom block built in the 1980's. The school is on a very confined sloping site with no prospect of increasing the site. The school currently uses the dining facilities at the adjacent High Street Primary School and has no prospect of meeting 21st Century Schools standard. The Waterfront Community deserve a first class modern school and no more excuses! The Green Party will campaign with local parents to ensure this agreement is delivered without any further delays!

This is a significant issue as it affects the majority of students and staff at the university. The sanitary needs for uterus-having peoples at the university are currently not being met. It is imperative that the university understands and accommodates the needs of its students and staffs regarding hygiene and sanitation. Period products are a necessity, but they are expensive. Tight budgets can leave people forced to prioritise other purchases, leaving them without the right period products, without enough period products, or without any period products at all. Women are forced to use socks, newspaper, toilet roll, or even bread to absorb their period. Many will miss out on school or work, or struggle to concentrate fully. Period poverty is an issue that affects 1 in 10 uterus-having students across the UK. This is an urgent issue. We are requesting university funding to meet the needs of the students and staff of the university.

Students are taught a range of languages, such as French, German, and Spanish, however the language lacking from the school curriculum is British Sign Language (BSL). There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing people in the UK, and these people are much more likely to suffer from mental illnesses (up to 50%, compared with 25% of the general population). So, I believe that adding a BSL course to the school curriculum would be a perfect way to uphold our responsibility to those who are hard of hearing; we must step up and take the simple solution to a problem affecting millions. With the recent Covid-19 pandemic, quality of life for the hard of hearing has only worsened as these people lost the ability to lip read due to face masks and their silent world became even more silent. Even now, when regulations are much calmer, I still watched a deaf woman struggle to communicate with the worker at the pharmacy when she had an issue with her prescription.

Making school uniform free will help a lot of families out. Especially those who struggle financially. I think it’s out of order that we have to pay for something our children HAVE to wear if not they will be sanctioned. E.g have detentions for not wearing correct uniform. Where as when adults have to wear work uniform we get it at no charge.

It’s important because we want our children to have a Welsh education but you are throwing obstacles in our way making us doubt choosing our schools.£130.20 for a child upfront is a lot of money, some people have 2/3/4 children and are still being made to pay this cost per child. It’s a 30 minute walk and the route is not a safe one for young children to get to school safely.

I think everyone at some point in their life has felt annoyed that they have been unable to communicate effectively with a deaf person due to what is essentially a language barrier. This isn't a case of being in another country and not being familiar with the language, deaf people are in our home countries and we can't communicate effectively.

The Open University suggests 32 hours of study a week for someone wanting to graduate in 3 years from a standard Bachelors degree. This means they could not work a full time job and study, leaving them with little option for money. This should be changed to allow such students to apply for a maintenance loan as other students are able to.

You never know when you may need to use those skills. They could save someone's life
