Recommendation
We call on the Ministry of Justice to immediately reverse its real-term cuts to the prison education budget in England and to ensure that future funding grows in line with inflation and is aligned with the true costs of delivery. The Department should also work with the Welsh Government to come to an agreement about the publication of education data for Welsh prisons, using that which is available for prisons in England as a guide. (Recommendation, Paragraph 92)
