How sad and sickening. The veneer that Wrexham is on a good path is broken time after time. Not only is the economy not built to meet peoples needs and aspirations, but the the whole issue of schools, skills, science and education is not delivering what young people need in those critical years. You are 11 to 16 once, a person shapes their intellect and career from 7 to 25 years of age – once it is lost, it is extraordinarily difficult to regain the ground.
Parents have talked of these failings for years, and with the exposure of the health service failings having to be faced, lets hope and believe that the same will happen for education and our investment in young people.
