Who are we?

NUS Wales represents more than a quarter of a million students and apprentices in further and higher education in Wales.

What's in the Student Manifesto?

The manifesto pitches post-16 education as the solution to the social and economic inequalities that have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The manifesto covers four key areas:

Education for a Fairer Student Experience

- makes recommendations that would improve the daily lives of students and apprentices in Wales.

Education for a Fairer Society

- makes recommendations that would create a more equitable Wales for all its citizens.

Education for a Fairer Economy

- makes recommendations that promote a sustainable economic recover from the Covid-19 recession.

Education for a Fairer Future

- makes recommendations that would create a Wales full of opportunities for future generations.
