Are here now with his foster mum...

She says he fled Afghanistan after his father who was in the army

His mother sold his father's land to provide the money to support

Bashir to get out of harm's way and danger and came

in the back of a lorry, things like that.

Over the past six years or so here at Welsh government HQ

in Cardiff there's been a focus on driving up standards in schools
