Rob Williams, director of policy for the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) Cymru says it is a disgrace that schools in Wales have lost 拢4m by paying the UK government's apprenticeship levy.

Employers with wage bills above 拢3m pay the tax, to ensure larger firms contribute to the costs of training.

UK ministers say Wales receives a "fair share" of the levy's proceeds and Welsh ministers decide how it is spent.

But the Welsh Government claimed that cash was "largely offset" by other cuts.

Mr Williams told the 大象传媒's Wales Live programme schools were losing the money at a time they needed it most.
