Since starting this podcast Fin and Jane have interviewed two Welsh Education Ministers - Kirsty Williams and Jeremy Miles - putting to them questions from teachers and school leaders. Current Cabinet Secretary for Education Lynne Neagle has been invited, but she has so far declined. In this episode, Fin and Jane discuss some of the questions they would ask Ms Neagle and how she might respond, based on her public statements so far.
