Merthyr Council are proposing to restructure the way post 16 education is delivered in the area, their proposal is to close all school 6th forms and create a tertiary college in the centre of town. This will mean that there will be NO FAITH BASED 6th Form education provision in the Merthyr area. Other areas within Wales could make similar proposals shortly.
There is a viable alternative to Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council's proposal whereby Bishop Hedley Catholic High School could keep its Sixth Form and work co-operatively with the Tertiary College. (i.e) The format that is extremely successful in the Neath – Port Talbot Authority.
Faith based Education Works (FEW) are firmly against this proposal and wish faith based education to be promoted and protected in the same way as Welsh language education. We the undersigned are fully against the proposal and would like this to be noted at the Welsh Assembly Government
