How about you? #Person1#: I was thinking maybe we could make dinner together tonight. What do you think? #Person2#: I'm absolutely useless at cooking! #Person1#: I could teach you how to cook something healthy. Frozen pizza are so bad for you! #Person2#: I know they aren't good for me, but they are cheap, convenient, and fairly tasty. #Person1#: I recently saw a piece for spicy chicken curry in a magadize. Maybe we could try that? #Person2#: yeah, why not. Do you have all the ingredients? #Person1#: I bought all the ingredients this morning, so let's start! #Person2#: what do we do first? #Person1#: first, you need to wash the vegetables and then chop them into little pieces. #Person2#: ok. Should I heat the wok? #Person1#: yes. Once it gets hot, put a little oil in it, add the vegetables and stir-fry them for a few minutes. #Person2#: what about the chicken? #Person1#: that needs to be cut into thin strips about 3 cm long and then it can be stir-fried on its own until its cooked through. #Person2#: how about the rice? #Person1#: I'll prepare it. Do you prefer white rice or brown rice? #Person2#: white rice, please. None of that healthy brown stuff for me!
#Person1# teaches #Person2# to cook chicken for #Person2#'s original thought of having frozen pizza is unhealthy.

king: Sure, sure. I know it's there. I just prefer things that I can touch. Magic has it's place, but feels impermanent. the queen: I knew you would understand. We could make it look a little more intimidating if you want. I think some large spikes would look good over there. king: Yes! And a dragon's head above the entrance. I wonder if we can use some of your magic to make it breathe fire? the queen: We could put the fairy lights inside to make it look like fire. No one will know the difference. king: That is true.

Janet Finch-Saunders AM: thanks And then how do you respond to concerns that learners are avoiding studying the Welsh bac— where they can that is—by attending institutions in England or institutions that do not offer Welshmedium provision ? Kirsty Williams AM: Well it is interesting is not it about where children choose to study and whether they are motivated by the avoidance of the Welsh bac ? People make decisions about where to study for a whole host of reasons and it is difficult sometimes to quantify what those are So for instance we often hear this along the border that because— The geography is not easy but it can be relatively easy to go across into the English system and therefore you do not have to do this Now the reasons for that could be very variable It could be about the nature of the offer We know that in some of our rural schools the secondary sixth forms are not able to offer a wide variety of Alevels and perhaps by going to a different institution a larger institution across the way then you can get that combination of the Alevels you want to do which simply is not possible if you do it in your home school Or we do have some consortia arrangements where Alevels are delivered across a wide variety of schools which require students to travel Some students do not want to do that they do not want to do their Alevels in three different schools but they would rather go to an institution where they can do it all under one roof And that means sometimes moving across the border or in the area I live children making the decision to go to Merthyr college because its a lovely beautiful new building the facilities are absolutely fantastic and a wide variety of Alevels is available under one roof We looked at in particular also the perception of quality So if we take the example of King Henry VIII School in Abergavenny a school where in the past there have been I think within the community some concerns about the quality of that school—whether it is regarded as a good school And from that particular location you can quite easily get to Hereford college—a college that has a fantastic offer does very very well and has a beautiful building What we do if we look at the tracking of the students who have been retained in King Henry VIII as that school has been on its improvement journey and has done better and better and better the number of students that they are retaining into their sixth form has grown So the perception is This is a good school I am going to get a goodquality experience here and more and more students are choosing to stay in that school than perhaps make the decision to travel somewhere else We also have to recognise that for some students staying in the sixth form is not what they want to do they want a different experience they want to go to an FE college They want a different experience So we have to take into consideration that students could be motivated by a wide variety of subjects and there is no hardandfast evidence that it is avoidance of the bac that is the sole driver for some of these choices Sian Gwenllian AM: The evidence that we have had from one of the teaching unions—robust and clear evidence—is that this is happening that is that young people are leaving Wales to go over the border to schools in England in order to avoid the Welsh bac That is exactly what was said to us But you do not accept that evidence Kirsty Williams AM: I am not saying that I do not accept it I am saying that I think there are a wide variety of reasons why students make decisions about where to study I am not aware of any comprehensive piece of work that has looked at those motivations and I think there could be a whole host of reasons why children are deciding to move across the border Perhaps the Welsh bac is an easy one to place that hook on and that is easier to acknowledge is not it than saying that perhaps students are making that choice for other reasons
Kirsty Williams admitted that the crossing and moves were happening and did not deny the evidence as Sian Gwenllian implied. On the contrary, he believed that the reason behind the crossing was complicated and hard to quantify. He exemplified some of them: the eagerness to adjust to the English system, the nature of the offer (the combination of the A-Levels that institution offered), etc. In conclusion, Kirsty Williams believed that no effective evidence could demonstrate that the avoidance of the baccalaureate was the sole driver for the students choices to move to other areas.
