Research into the data and information needs and uses in the school system in Wales
This research was commissioned to support the reform of the school information ecosystem.
The final report presents recommendations on the development of a new information ecosystem that facilitates our school improvement system in underpinning the ambitions of Curriculum for Wales.
The Welsh Government will fully consider the findings and recommendations in the report. We will use this important evidence to inform the design of a balanced and sustainable ecosystem integral to the school improvement guidance, one based on firm principles, that can continuously develop as reform embeds in the school system and as education policy continues to evolve. This will ensure that quality data and information can be used effectively, supporting schools and wider stakeholders in their own unique settings and placing learners at the centre of decision making.
