Cyn y pandemig, roedd Cymru yn gwneud cynnydd cadarnhaol o ran llythrennedd a rhifedd. Fodd bynnag, mae'n dod yn amlwg bod effeithiau'r pandemig wedi dad\-wneud rhywfaint o'r cynnydd hwn. Mae adroddiad diweddar gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar gyrhaeddiad mewn darllen a rhifedd wedi manylu ar rai o'r effeithiau.


Mae cynllun mathemateg newydd wedi'i ddatblygu, gyda'r nod o godi safonau. Bydd ffyrdd newydd difyr o ddysgu yn cael eu datblygu fel rhan o'r cwricwlwm newydd, i fagu hyder dysgwyr. Bydd grŵp tystiolaeth, cyngor ac ymchwil newydd yn cael ei sefydlu, yn cynnwys arbenigwyr mewn mathemateg o Gymru, y DU a thu hwnt. Bydd yn rhoi cyngor i’r partneriaid a fydd yn creu pecyn dysgu proffesiynol wedi’i wneud i Gymru.


Mae Ysgol Coedcae yn Llanelli wedi datblygu ffyrdd atyniadol o addysgu llythrennedd ariannol.


Bu'r Gweinidog Addysg, Jeremy Miles, mewn gwers fathemateg a oedd yn canolbwyntio ar addysg ariannol yn yr ysgol, i weld sut mae dysgwyr yn cael eu dysgu i gyfrifo canrannau a chymhwyso hyn i gyfrifo taliadau ar fenthyciadau gan gwmnïau benthyciadau llog uchel.


Dywedodd Sam Terry, Pennaeth Mathemateg Ysgol Coedcae:



> Fel athrawon, mae dyletswydd arnom ni i baratoi ac addysgu pobl ifanc ar gyfer bywyd y tu allan i'r ystafell ddosbarth, ac i roi'r sgiliau angenrheidiol iddyn nhw ar gyfer ymdopi â byd o ansicrwydd ariannol. 
> 
> 
> Rydyn ni yn Ysgol Coedcae yn defnyddio'r cwricwlwm newydd i greu grŵp o ddysgwyr sy'n hyderus yn eu sgiliau rhifedd ac sy'n gallu torri'r cylch o bobl sy’n dweud, 'dwi ddim yn gallu gwneud mathemateg'.


Mae'r pecyn cymorth llafaredd a darllen a gyhoeddwyd yn gynharach eleni wedi'i ddiweddaru i roi mwy o eglurder ynghylch rôl sgiliau cyfathrebu cynnar a ffoneg systematig, fel strategaethau profedig ar gyfer datblygu sgiliau darllen hanfodol. Mae'r pecyn cymorth yn darparu ystod o wybodaeth ac adnoddau a fydd yn galluogi ysgolion i ddatblygu ac ymgorffori eu dull darllen a llafaredd eu hunain.


Dywedodd Jeremy Miles:



> Mae cymorth clir i’n pobl ifanc gyda llythrennedd a rhifedd yn hanfodol o ystyried effaith barhaus y pandemig, er mwyn iddyn nhw allu elwa ar holl fanteision y cwricwlwm. 
> 
> 
> Mae gwaith rhagorol yn digwydd mewn ysgolion ledled Cymru, fel y gwersi addysg ariannol a welais yn Ysgol Coedcae. Nod ein cynlluniau gweithredu yw sicrhau y gall pob dysgwr elwa ar addysgu mor atyniadol.


Mae'r cynlluniau hyn yn rhan o becyn cymorth ehangach i ysgolion, sydd wedi'i ddarparu i liniaru effeithiau'r pandemig, fel y Rhaglen Recriwtio, Adfer a Chodi Safonau. Mae gwerthusiad diweddar o'r rhaglen yn dangos effaith fuddiol y cyllid sydd wedi'i dargedu at y rhai y mae Covid wedi effeithio fwyaf arnynt. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys cynyddu capasiti staff yn y blynyddoedd cynnar ac mewn lleoliadau ysgolion.

Before the pandemic, Wales was making positive progress in literacy and numeracy. But it’s becoming clear the impacts of the pandemic have undone some of these gains. A recent Welsh Government report on reading and numeracy attainment has detailed some of the impacts.


A new maths plan has been developed aiming to raise standards. New engaging ways of learning will be developed as part of the new curriculum to build the confidence of learners. A new evidence, advice and research group will be established, made up of mathematics specialists from Wales, the UK and from around the world, to provide advice to partners who will create a made\-for\-Wales professional learning package.


Ysgol Coedcae in Llanelli has developed the teaching of financial literacy in engaging ways.


Education Minister Jeremy Miles visited a maths lesson which focussed on financial education at the school to see first\-hand how learners are being taught how to calculate percentages and apply this to calculating payments on loans from high interest loan companies.


Sam Terry, Head of Maths at Coedcae School, said:



> As teachers, we have a duty to prepare and educate young people for a life outside of the classroom, and to provide them with the necessary tools to navigate a world of financial uncertainty. 
> 
> 
> We at Coedcae School are using the new curriculum to create a numerically confident group of learners who can break the cycle of people who claim, 'I can't do maths'.


The oracy and reading toolkit published earlier this year has been updated to give further clarity on the role of early communication skills and systematic phonics, as proven strategies for developing essential reading skills. The toolkit provides a range of information and resources which will enable schools to develop and embed their own approach to reading and oracy.


Jeremy Miles said:



> Clear support for our young people in both literacy and numeracy is vital given the ongoing impact of the pandemic, to enable them to gain the full benefits of the curriculum. 
> 
> 
> “There is excellent work taking place in schools across Wales such as the financial education lessons I observed at Ysgol Coedcae. Our action plans aim to ensure all learners can benefit from such engaging teaching.


These plans are part of a wider package of support for schools which has been provided to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, such as the Recruit, Recover and Raise Standards (RRRS) Programme. Recent evaluation of the programme shows the beneficial impact of the funding which has been targeted towards those most impacted by Covid. This included increasing staff capacity in early years and school settings.
