The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Review of Education in Wales, commissioned by the Welsh Government in 2012, was published in April 2014.

The report said: 'Wales has started a reform journey and the profession and the public share the sense of urgency to take action and the reform directions set out by the government.

'However, it appears that the many reform initiatives pursued in the last few years have left the profession with a growing sense of feeling overwhelmed by a continuous flow of changes, and a lack of clear direction beyond 2015'.
