Cwestiynau i Weinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg
Mae gan Lywodraeth Cymru weledigaeth a strategaeth glir i gefnogi dysgu ieithoedd tramor modern yng Nghymru. Mae cynllun strategol 'Dyfodol Byd-eang: Cynllun i wella a hyrwyddo ieithoedd rhyngwladol yng Nghymru 2022 i 2025', a gafodd ei lansio fis Tachwedd…

As I say, I do think there is an increase in children and young people with complex needs being felt right across the education system, and, I'm sure Julie would recognise, in the health system as well, and social services. So, I think this is clearly…

Yes. The point of our reforms is to make sure that is happening, isn't it? Clearly, it's a significant set of reforms. You will be hearing from parents what I'm hearing as Minister and also in my role as constituency MS—that there are challenges in the…

We're obviously some way away from that. That's the first point to make. But equally, wanting to see our education system to be as fully inclusive as possible is the underlying principle behind both the Curriculum for Wales and, certainly, the additional…

Both of the other Ministers will have, probably, a more detailed view of this than I do, but my understanding is that the neurodivergence improvement programme is working with families and services to identify what information it's helpful to provide, both…

There are responsibilities at a local government level to make sure that there is a clear availability of information about rights, but also that when decisions are made and when local authorities reach conclusions in relation to individual learners, that…

Well, it's going back to the point I just made, really, about the consistency of application in the Act. So, the designation of additional learning needs and the definition of additional learning provision is one of the things that we see is inconsistent. So…

Yes, so just to be clear: it's not what I'm saying, it's what the law says. So, this is not my view on how it should work. It is how it should work, it's set out in the law. So, a young person's entitlement to an IDP does not depend upon them having had a…

We are about halfway through the four-year period of implementation, so in the last few months we've commissioned a lot of research to have a data-driven understanding of what's happening on the ground. I think it is fair to say that there's variability in…

As I say, it's partly about what we expect and support schools to do through our statutory guidance, but also, crucially, listening to the experience of those learners who have had the experience of bullying and reflecting that in our expectations from…

Well, the point of our guidance is to make sure that that is in place, isn't it, and I think some of the points that you're making and that you'll have heard in evidence are changes in approach and changes in culture, really, that need to be brought in. We as…

Well, it is an area of priority for us. Just to be clear, bullying of any type, prejudice-based bullying, is completely unacceptable and we would all feel passionately about that, let alone agree with it. Our guidance, 'Rights, respect, equality', sets this…

Drwy gryfhau'r gofynion yn yr addysg gychwynnol, cryfhau'r cynnig, os hoffwch chi, ac argaeledd y ddarpariaeth yn y blynyddoedd cynnar ar ôl cymhwyso a thrwy gydol oes. Ond hefyd, mae gyda ni gyfle i bobl arbenigo’n benodol yn y maes hwn. Mae darpariaeth…

Ocê. Wel, mae hwn yn bwysig. Fel yr oedd y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol yn ei ddweud jest nawr—dwi ddim yn gwybod y term Cymraeg, ond y social model yw'r peth pwysig, yntefe? Mae hyn yn rhan o'r meddylfryd y tu cefn i'r Ddeddf yn gyffredinol. Mae'r…

Wel, jest i fod yn glir, nid cyfrifoldeb yr ALNCO yw darparu ar gyfer yr holl anghenion. Cyfrifoldeb yr ALNCO yw rhoi arweiniad strategol yn yr ysgol ar gyfer y ddarpariaeth ehangach. Felly, rŷn ni i gyd yn gwybod nad yr ateb yw sicrhau mai dyna le mae'r…

Mae sawl peth ar waith yn y maes hwn. Rwyf yn derbyn bod angen sicrhau bod gan y gweithlu addysg yn gyffredinol ddealltwriaeth o'r ystod o anableddau rŷch chi'n sôn amdanyn nhw. Ac rwyf hefyd yn credu, fel rŷn ni'n gweld yn barod, fod mwy a mwy o blant ifanc…

Wel, dwi ddim yn credu y gallai unrhyw un ddweud yn deg nad yw'r galw yno. Ond hefyd, gyda llaw, nid dyna'r prawf. Fel ym mhob math o gynllunio iaith, nid jest ymateb i'r galw ond darparu gwasanaeth sydd yn gwbl gynhwysol ac ar gael yn y ddwy iaith yw'r nod…

Wel, rwyf yn derbyn bod hyn yn her. Rwy'n derbyn ei fod e'n effeithio ar ddewis, ac rwy'n derbyn bod angen gwneud llawer mwy. Mae llawer o bethau ar waith eisoes ac fe wnaethon ni drafod yn y Siambr ddoe yr adroddiad ar y cyd rhwng Comisiynydd y Gymraeg a'r…

Mae yn amrywio, ond, jest i ddweud, dyma bwrpas yr holl ddiwygiadau sydd gyda ni—sicrhau nad yw hyn yn digwydd. Felly, mae'n gwbl anaddas bod rhiant neu ofalwr yn ceisio perswadio rhywun i beidio â dod i ysgol. Dyw hynny ddim yn addas. Mae angen i ni sicrhau…

Some of the answer to that is in the points that I have just made about the funding increases that we have provided to local authorities, recognising the incredible pressures they are under themselves. But that review of how funding is being deployed will…

I think, in all honesty, it's hard to say that, and I don't think one could ever expect a data system of the sort that I've just described to you to capture the level of granularity that would enable that question to be answered directly. I think at its most…

If there were widespread use of reduced timetables, my concern there would be that that would become a form of hidden exclusion, if you like. That is the concern that I would have in that area. We already have very clear guidance to schools in relation to how…

I can't comment on that specific school, for reasons that you'll understand—obviously, I'm not aware of the context or the decision making. But I think the situation that you're describing would be an exception, and it would be a disappointment that some of…
