I have always imagined that the education in Wales to be quite good, at least, if not better than over the border in England

It depends. The English medium schools are on par with English schools, but the Welsh medium/bilingual schools achieve a 20% better pass rate (on average)

Welsh schools are way better than English, they do not publish their league table results and there is a whole different attitude to learning anyway.

Yes, this is true in the Welsh language schools where the emphasis is definitely on the child's learning, there also seems to be a lot less disruption in class also. Compare with the English language schools where many children get lost in the system.

It is a fact that welsh medium schools outshine their english medium counterparts. I attended Ysgol gyfun Cwm Rhymney and the individual attention we were given by teachers and the facilities and the general level of education was unrivalled in the area. We were more disciplined and dedicated than the 'English' students and also better at rugby. Its probably because we felt unique within that community and we all had a sense of solidarity.

No I am not from Rhymney, Im from a palce called Ystrad Mznach and the area of Cardiff is called Rumney. Rhymney is the Rhymney valley and is a completely different place.

Cardiff University is among the top 10 in UK and well know for its standards.

So, for those of you questioning why the PL are UK bound, here's a good example of why. It's called hard work and determination for a better future.

So why do they have to come to the u.k?, whats wrong with pooland.
I suppose this is the fruits of gordys plan to enlarge the contribution that english teaching makes to the economy.

Lots of students from different countries take adventage of various exchange programmes and travel to study outside of their own country.. that's valuable experience.
