21st Century Schools is more than a building programme
The 21st Century Schools Programme is a One Wales commitment and a unique collaboration between the Welsh Government (WG), the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) and local authorities. It is a major, long-term and strategic capital investment programme with the aim of creating a generation of 21st century schools in Wales.
The programme will focus resources on the right schools in the right places, for early years through to post-16, with funding jointly provided by WG and local authorities.
