Diolch i Vikki Howells am y ddau bwynt pwysig iawn. Rwy'n credu, wrth wraidd y ffordd y mae angen i ni gyflwyno'r cymwysterau gwneud-i-Gymru rhaid sicrhau bod y cydbwysedd rhwng cynnwys a asesir a chynnwys ymarferol yn taro'r cydbwysedd cywir. Ac mae heriau…

Diolch i Heledd Fychan am y cwestiynau hynny. Mae gwaith eisoes yn digwydd ynglŷn â'r cwricwlwm ôl-16, fel gwnes i sôn yn fras yn fy natganiad, a rhan o hwnnw yw sefydlu canllawiau statudol i ddarparwyr fel bod y cwricwlwm hwnnw yn dilyn egwyddorion, os…

Diolch i Janet Finch-Saunders am ei chwestiynau, er fy mod yn credu bod y cwestiynau'n ymwneud â'r datganiad a wnaeth Cymwysterau Cymru yr wythnos diwethaf ynghylch cyflwyno TAAU, yn hytrach na'r datganiad rwy'n ei wneud heddiw mewn perthynas â'r ymateb i…

Roedd yr adolygiad yn argymell ymestyn cyfleoedd lleoliad gwaith i bob dysgwr lefel 3 nad oedd ganddyn nhw leoliad gwaith fel rhan orfodol o'u cymhwyster. Byddaf yn derbyn yr argymhelliad hwn, gan fod pob dysgwr lefel 3 bellach yn cael cyfleoedd i gael…

Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Mae'r Llywodraeth hon wedi ymrwymo i gynyddu cydraddoldeb parch rhwng llwybrau addysg galwedigaethol ac academaidd. Credwn yng ngwerth priodol addysg alwedigaethol, gyda'i chysylltiadau hanfodol â sgiliau, yr economi ac â chymdeithas…

Wel, mae'r memorandwm esboniadol yn gwyntyllu mwy nag un ffordd bosib o ddelio â hyn—elfennau statudol hefyd, elfennau kitemark ac ati. Mae unrhyw gynllun trwyddedu, wrth reswm yn rhywbeth cymhleth ac mae angen ystyriaeth fanwl iawn o oblygiadau hynny. Dyw…

Rwy'n credu bod yr her yn un sy'n dod cyn hynny. Hynny yw, dwi ddim yn credu mai diffyg galw am y gwasanaeth yw'r her benodol; rwy'n credu mai diffyg argaeledd staff yw'r her. Felly, dwi'n deall pam rŷch chi'n gofyn y cwestiwn, ond dwi ddim yn credu bod hwnnw…

Wrth gwrs, rwy'n cytuno, os ydy'r math yma o ddarpariaeth yn mynd i ddod yn ei flaen trwy'r math yma o ddeddfwriaeth, fod y gofyniad yn y Bil i hynny fod ar gael trwy'r Gymraeg yn hollbwysig ac yn anhepgor. Ein dealltwriaeth ni ar hyn o bryd yw bod argaeledd…

Well, I might ask Lloyd just to come in, in a moment, about the existing provision in the curriculum that supports this, but I absolutely do take the point that you're making about the particular benefits of outdoor learning to pupils in settings other than…

Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Yes, certainly. Well, the Bill doesn't do this, because it amends a part of the 2021 Act that isn't itself applicable to PRUs and young people educated other than at school. And it's intentional in doing that, and I understand the reason why it's doing that…

Well, to your first point: does the legislation resolve those questions around anxiety—and uncertainty, I think you said? I don't think it does, but, in all candour, I don't think it could. Legislation can't do that in practice. I think that addressing…

Well, I suppose the point I would make is that the Bill seeks to protect that uniquely. So, at the moment, as you will know from our previous discussions, the approach that I have taken in my budget to the grants that go to schools to support a range of…

This is at the heart of my concerns, in many ways. We had a discussion last week about the pressures on school budgets, the pressures on the Welsh Government's budget, and the very real pressure on council budgets, and what this Bill does is effectively…

If that scheme were required, that monitoring and that reporting, then I think that would be burdensome, and the broader point I'm making to you is that that wouldn't be consistent with the level of obligation we have in other parts of the curriculum…

Well, there would need to be—. If the Welsh Government was to collect data on pupils who had been offered—at least offered—residential outdoor education, that would require us to bring in or amend existing regulations, so there would need to be a new power to…

Well, the section 42 provides for that already, so I think that mechanism is there in the legislation. What is not clear, I think, is what the—. If it's a mandatory part of the curriculum, which it's required to be, and that section 42 mechanism hasn't been…

Thank you. Certainly. Well, this is one of the practical challenges. What the guidance says can't change what the Bill does. So, the starting point for, 'What is the legal obligation, the legal duties, the legal rights?' if you like, is what is in the Bill…

Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Yes. So, my concerns around what is mandatory are related to the job of guidance. The job of guidance is to give advice rather than introduce mandatory elements to a scheme that otherwise the Bill doesn't make mandatory. So, if you're going to have mandatory…

There are different aspects to this. So, the design of the curriculum is a responsibility of the headteacher and the governing body. So, including residential outdoor education in the curriculum would be an obligation that they would need to fulfil as part of…

Certainly. Well, I'm not going to repeat what I said earlier in the week, but I'll just make specific points on this, if I may, which are the main points, I think, from the point of view of concerns around the legislation. Firstly, the Bill isn't clear on…
