Effaith gostyngiadau cyllid ar ddiwylliant a chwaraeon: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda chyrff diwylliannol (6)
I've enjoyed the conversation this morning. I've tried listening to your different perspectives on these issues, but I want you to convince me of something, and this is what it is: to what extent is this simply a financial crisis that you've been describing?…

I don't have any further questions.

The committee's very happy to take written evidence if witnesses wish to give this greater consideration.

Okay, I'm grateful to you for that. So, you've identified that conditionality, if you like, in terms of taking this forward, mainly in terms of resource availability and the ability to build over a period of time. I accept all that. So, are there any changes…

Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 15
Okay, fine, so—

What does that mean, Amanda—'very, very challenging'? Tell us what it means.

Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 15
Okay, thank you.

I think incrementalism is quite important, actually. It does build up a sense of momentum, but you've outlined funding and funding alone. So, funding is the key issue for you, rather than any other barrier.

Yes. I was interested in both the answers to that previous question from Vaughan, but also the context of the answers to an earlier question from Lee on the target of a million. In answering that first question from Lee, everybody was very positive, but it…

That's great. We'll leave it at that. Thank you.
17 Hydref 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 14
Okay, can you quantify that?
17 Hydref 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 14
So, the pathway exists, it's just not sufficient?
17 Hydref 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 14
And I assume, from your answer, that the pathway, if you like, of resource, in its widest sense, doesn't exist at the moment. That pathway doesn't exist, which is why we don't have either the teachers or the resources to deliver the education that we want to…
17 Hydref 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 14
It doesn't exist. So how do we get from where we are today, where the capacity doesn't exist, to where we might be, say over the next decade, where that capacity might exist? And where would you like to prioritise the development of that capacity?
17 Hydref 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 14
So, yes or no? Do you think it exists or not?
17 Hydref 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 14
I'm grateful to you for that. And one of the themes I think that is developing in some of the evidence we've received as a committee is concern about capacity and the ability of education providers, in the wider sense, if you like, to actually deliver on the…

Okay, so the balance at the moment, from what I've interpreted from that response, is that you're looking towards increasing the teaching, if you like, through the medium of Welsh rather than the teaching of Welsh as a stand-alone subject.
17 Hydref 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 14
So, how would this legislation actually impact upon what you're already planning to do?
17 Hydref 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 14
I'm just trying to follow what you've just said. In terms of where we are today, there's clearly a job of work to be done in the post-16 sector, and I presume that Medr has plans to do that notwithstanding this legislation, yes?
17 Hydref 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 14
But it's important that those amendments are made at Stage 2, I would suggest, so that this committee can then look hard at those things, and when we give it to the Senedd as a whole, at Stage 3, that there's a Bill that has resolved the issues and the…
17 Hydref 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 14
I'm very interested in your evidence on this element of the legislation. You said in your introductory answer that you hadn't had that much engagement with the Welsh Government over the development of the Bill, and in your answer to the second question you've…
