How to prepare a damaged wall for painting?

Hi workshop people,

I’m taking off old cork from a kitchen benchtop wall (about 2.5m x 0.5m) and now need to work out how to clean it up and repaint it. The surface is currently a mix of plasterboard, glue and some fillers. Not sure what do to next.

I’ve not done this before so any advice welcome!

Thanks,

Susan
