Commenting on the official confirmation of Eluned Morgan MS as Wales’ new first minister, NUS Cymru President Deio Owen said:
“I would first like to congratulate Eluned Morgan on her historic appointment as Wales’ first female first minister.
“The last few months of government scandal and in-fighting have been an unhelpful distraction from the major challenges facing the country.
“I hope new leadership will help draw a line under this and the Welsh Government can get back to tackling our urgent educational and social challenges.
“Students and apprentices are navigating an increasingly exploitative and broken private rental system, universities are staring into a financial blackhole, and mental health services are failing – we need a government focused on resolving these problems.
“I look forward to working with the first minister and her government to deliver the Wales that students and apprentices deserve.”
