New DVD launched for teachers in Wales

July 06 2010

A new DVD has been launched providing best practice guidance for teachers on meeting the needs of ethnic minority students.

Entitled Many Voices, One Wales, it features lessons in progress, meetings with new parents and pupils, lesson planning and interviews with staff.

"This new resource is extremely important for raising the achievements of minority ethnic children and young people in Wales," said education minister Leighton Andrews.

Speaking to an audience of headteachers, ethnic minority achievement co-ordinators, teachers and support assistants, he added that it is wonderful to see children from all parts of the world playing and being taught alongside each other in Wales.

A copy has been sent to all of the country's schools.

In other Welsh education news, it was revealed last week that schools were forced to close for an average of four days earlier this year as a result of heavy snow and icy conditions on the roads.
