Dengys y ffigurau diweddaraf fod cynnydd o 3\.9% mewn ceisiadau i wneud cwrs hyfforddi athrawon ôl\-raddedig a chynnydd o 2% yn y nifer sy’n cael eu derbyn ar gwrs yng Nghymru, gyda chyfanswm o 3,500 o geisiadau am leoliadau hyfforddi athrawon 2016/17\.

 Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn buddsoddi yn y grant cymhelliant hyfforddi athrawon yn flynyddol i ddenu graddedigion sydd eisiau mynd ar gyrsiau ôl\-raddedig er mwyn iddynt allu addysgu mewn dosbarthiadau yng Nghymru.

 Mae’r cymhelliant ariannol mwyaf yn mynd i raddedigion sydd â gradd dosbarth cyntaf sy’n hyfforddi i addysgu ffiseg, cemeg, mathemateg, Cymraeg, cyfrifiadureg a ieithoedd tramor, ac mae cymhelliant ariannol ar gael i’r rhai sydd â gradd 2\.1 a 2\.2\.   

 Dyma’r hyn sydd a’r gael i’r rheini sy’n dymuno cychwyn ar gyrsiau ym mis Medi 2017:

 * Bydd cymhelliant ariannol o hyd at £20,000 ar gael i fyfyrwyr newydd sy’n cychwyn cyrsiau ôl\-raddedig Addysg Gychwynnol i Athrawon yn y pynciau a ganlyn: Cymraeg, Ffiseg, Cemeg a Mathemateg.
* Bydd cymhelliant ariannol o hyd at £15,000 ar gael i’r rheini sy’n hyfforddi i addysgu ieithoedd tramor modern a TGCh.

 Dywedodd Kirsty Williams:

 
> “Er mwyn creu system addysg sy’n destun balchder cenedlaethol, rhaid i ni fedru denu’r graddedigion gorau posibl i fod yn athrawon.
> 
>  “Mae’n bwysig, er bod nifer y swyddi gweigion ym maes addysgu yn gymharol isel yng Nghymru, ein bod yn denu graddedigion sydd â gwybodaeth arbenigol yn y pynciau sy’n flaenoriaeth gennym, fel mathemateg, ffiseg a chyfrifiadureg. Bydd y cymhelliannau ariannol hyn yn help i sicrhau hynny.
> 
>  “Ochr yn ochr â’r gwaith o ddiwygio addysg gychwynnol i athrawon, safonau proffesiynol a dysgu proffesiynol, bydd y cymhelliannau hyn yn help i godi safon addysgu yng Nghymru fel rhan o’r ymgyrch genedlaethol i ddiwygio’r byd addysg.”

 Kirsty Williams said:

 
> “To create an education system that is a source of national pride, we must attract the very best to the teaching profession.
> 
>  “While teacher vacancy rates in Wales are comparatively low, it is important that we attract graduates with specialist knowledge of our priority subjects, such as maths, physics, and computer science.  These incentives will help do just that.
> 
>  “Alongside our reforms to initial teacher education, professional standards and professional learning, these incentives will help to raise the standard of teaching in Wales as part of our national mission of education reform.”
