Grŵp 9: Cyfrwng Cymraeg (Gwelliannau 8, 55, 9, 10)
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Wel, dwi jest yn hapus i gadarnhau'r pwynt olaf wnaeth Sioned Williams ofyn yn ei gylch e yn ei chyfraniad jest nawr: roedd nifer ohonon ni yn y dathliad ddoe, Cadeirydd, i ddathlu pen-blwydd 10 mlynedd y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol, ac…

Grŵp 9: Cyfrwng Cymraeg (Gwelliannau 8, 55, 9, 10)
Diolch, Gadeirydd. Mae'r gwelliannau yn y grŵp hwn yn ymateb i argymhellion y pwyllgor hwn ac yn adlewyrchu uchelgais Llywodraeth Cymru, a'm huchelgais i, o ran cynyddu'r defnydd o'r Gymraeg a nifer y siaradwyr Cymraeg. Mae'r holl welliannau'n ymwneud â'r…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. I cannot, I'm afraid, agree amendment 54, which, as Laura Anne Jones has said, has the effect of adding apprenticeships, traineeship programmes and employability programmes to the definition of tertiary education for the purpose of the…

Grŵp 7: Llais y Dysgwr, Llesiant a Diogelu (Gwelliannau 52, 53, 5, 6, 129, 130, 131, 132)
Thank you, Chair. Learners are at the heart of the reforms that this Bill is delivering, and I'd like to thank Laura Anne Jones for tabling amendments 52 and 129. They highlight a matter that is personally important to me. I know it is, obviously, to her as…

Grŵp 6: Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol (Gwelliant 51)
I agree with the need, Chair, to ensure absolutely clarity on the commission’s role in encouraging increased participation in tertiary education for all learners, including those with additional learning needs. The 2018 Act, which is underpinned by a number…

Grŵp 6: Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol (Gwelliant 51)
Diolch, Gadeirydd. Rwy'n deall y bwriad y tu ôl i rai agweddau ar welliant 51, ond fel mae wedi'i ddrafftio ar hyn o bryd, dwi ddim yn gallu cefnogi'r gwelliant.

Grŵp 5: Cyfle Cyfartal (Gwelliannau 1, 2, 3, 90, 92, 101, 107, 115, 119)
Chair, I agree with many of the points that Laura Anne Jones has made in support of the amendment that she is proposing. The amendments to which I was referring in my opening remarks are ones that haven't yet been tabled, because they're being developed for…

Grŵp 5: Cyfle Cyfartal (Gwelliannau 1, 2, 3, 90, 92, 101, 107, 115, 119)
Thank you, Chair. Amendments 1, 2 and 3 amend the existing strategic duty for equality of opportunity so as to require the commission to encourage increased participation in the carrying out of research and innovation in Wales by under-represented groups…

Grŵp 4: Ymchwil ac Arloesi (Gwelliannau 45, 4, 7, 13, 34, 120, 35)
Thank you, Chair. To respond on the principal point that Laura Anne Jones made in her remarks, I would just say that the principle that is reflected in section 103(4) in the Bill is a well-established principle that a number of stakeholders have been keen to…

Grŵp 4: Ymchwil ac Arloesi (Gwelliannau 45, 4, 7, 13, 34, 120, 35)
As I stated when giving evidence to the committee earlier this year, the prominence of research and innovation could be further strengthened on the face of the Bill, and amendment 7 in this group is intended to deliver this change. The Bill as introduced…

Grŵp 3: Undebau Llafur (Gwelliannau 44, 14, 42)
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I'll start if I may with amendment 14, which responds to a recommendation of this committee and inserts a new strategic duty, requiring the commission to promote collaboration between tertiary education providers and relevant trade unions…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. In relation to amendment 150, I'm afraid that I can't support that amendment. Its intention is to delay the stated provisions of the Bill being brought into force until 1 January 2024. This will prevent the making of any commencement…

Aflonyddu rhywiol rhwng cyfoedion ymhlith dysgwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 13
Well, they've got a very important role, haven't they, in supporting, both in terms of professional learning but also in understanding where schools are in terms of their need for further support. So, that needs analysis is under way at the moment…

Aflonyddu rhywiol rhwng cyfoedion ymhlith dysgwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 13
Well, there are some online resources available at the moment, but, obviously, one of the recommendations that Estyn made in its report was to strengthen the partnership work, if you like, between schools and parents in relation to this area. So, we've…

Aflonyddu rhywiol rhwng cyfoedion ymhlith dysgwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 13
Yes, that is a really important question. I do think it's important not to see the new curriculum as a solution to everything that we've been talking about, because it obviously isn't. So, the ethos of the new curriculum is for RSE to be embedded in the…

Aflonyddu rhywiol rhwng cyfoedion ymhlith dysgwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 13
Yes, that's what I want to see. So, we've contacted all local authorities in Wales, via the Welsh Local Government Association, seeking information on where they are in terms of appointing the RSE leads within their own structures as well as the RSE leads in…

Aflonyddu rhywiol rhwng cyfoedion ymhlith dysgwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 13
That guidance, training and support, as you say, is absolutely essential, obviously, in delivering RSE in the new curriculum effectively, and that is around specialist expertise. Quite often, what we know to date is that the teaching of what we currently call…

Aflonyddu rhywiol rhwng cyfoedion ymhlith dysgwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 13
It is clearly part of the issue, isn't it? The problem is clearly the prevalence of access to online sexual content, including pornography of all sorts, really, and I think we've seen plenty of that talked about in the media this week, as well. Sometimes…

Aflonyddu rhywiol rhwng cyfoedion ymhlith dysgwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 13
Just to say at the start, all education settings in Wales, obviously, have a legal duty to ensure that children have access to a safe learning environment, and in June last year, I wrote to all schools in the light of the publication of the material by…
