Answer

I am currently considering the establishment of an Independent Area Planning Commission to develop a strategic blueprint and practical implementation programme for a sustainable education system.

Its work would be about planning responsibly for future generations and ensuring that the interests of children and young people remain at the centre of decision-making.
