The announcement by Plaid Cymru last week that they will be placing education at the heart of their 2011 Assembly election campaign is barely credible when their record in government is taken into account.
After three years of holding Ministerial office they are presiding over a funding gap between England and Wales of £527 per pupil, a cut in capital funding for new schools, a squeeze on the money for further education and of course the introduction of top-up fees in Wales despite promising not to do so. And all that before the coalition government’s cuts take effect.
A pledge to sort out things right now is a Damsocsene conversion well-worth noting.
