Ym mis Tachwedd 2016, ar ôl derbyn gwahoddiad gan yr Ysgrifennydd Addysg, fe ddaeth y sefydliad uchel ei barch sef y Sefydliad ar gyfer Cydweithrediad a Datblygiad Economaidd ar ymweliad â Chymru i edrych ar y gwaith sydd ar droed ar ddiwygio addysg i sicrhau ei fod ar y trywydd iawn. 

 Yn ôl y canfyddiadau annibynnol (dolen allanol) sydd wedi’u cyhoeddi heddiw dywedir fel a ganlyn: 

 
> “the OECD has witnessed progress in several policy areas and a shift in the Welsh approach to school improvement away from a piece meal and short term policy orientation towards one that is guided by a long term vision.”

 Nodir yn yr adroddiad hefyd fod y gwaith diwygio yng Nghymru yn seiliedig ar gydweithio agos rhwng y llywodraeth a’r sector addysg a bod yr ymrwymiad i wella yn weladwy ar bob lefel o’r system addysg. 

 Dywedodd Kristy Williams: 

 
> “Fe wnes i wahodd yr OECD i ddod i Gymru i herio’r hyn rydyn ni’n ei wneud i ddiwygio ein system addysg yng Nghymru ac rydw i’n croesawu eu canfyddiadau. Eu casgliad yw ein bod ni’n gwneud cynnydd a bod gennym weledigaeth hirdymor i symud yn ein blaen. 
> 
>  “Rydyn ni eisoes yn cymryd camau i roi nifer o’u hargymhellion ar waith. Mae hynny’n cynnwys creu academi genedlaethol newydd ar gyfer arweinyddiaeth, trawsnewid addysg gychwynnol athrawon, lansio safonau proffesiynol newydd a chyflwyno trefn genedlaethol ar gyfer dysgu proffesiynol. 
> 
>  “Ein gwaith yw parhau i gynnal ein cenhadaeth genedlaethol o ddiwygio addysg yn seiliedig ar wella safonau a helpu pob dysgwr yng Nghymru, beth bynnag ei gefndir, i gyflawni ei botensial. 
> 
>  “Yn unol ag argymhelliad yr OECD, rhaid i ni ganolbwyntio ar sicrhau ein bod yn parhau i weithio ar roi ein gweledigaeth ar gyfer diwygio’r system addysg ar waith mewn modd priodol. Rydw i’n gwbl ymrwymedig i godi safonau, cau’r bwlch o ran cyrhaeddiad a chyflwyno system addysg sy’n destun hyder a balchder cenedlaethol.”

 Bydd yr Ysgrifennydd Addysg ac Andreas Schleicher, Cyfarwyddwr Addysg a Sgiliau yr OECD, yn annerch cynrychiolwyr o bob un o’r 205 o ysgolion uwchradd gwladol sydd yng Nghymru mewn digwyddiad arbennig yng Nghaerdydd.

In November 2016, after an invite from the Education Secretary, the highly\-respected Organisation for Economic Co\-operation and Development (OECD) visited Wales to examine the work underway on education reforms to make sure they are on track. 

 The independent findings (external link) published today state that 

 
> “the OECD has witnessed progress in several policy areas and a shift in the Welsh approach to school improvement away from a piece meal and short term policy orientation towards one that is guided by a long term vision.” 
> 
>  The report also found Wales’ reforms were characterised by close working between government and the education sector with a commitment to improvement “visible at all levels of the education system.”

 Kirsty Williams said: 

 
> “I invited the OECD to come to Wales to challenge what we are doing to reform our education system and I welcome their findings. They have concluded that we are making progress and we have a long term vision in place to keep improving. 
> 
>  “We are already taking action on many of their recommendations, from creating a new national academy for leadership, transforming initial teacher education, launching new professional standards, and introducing a national approach to professional learning. 
> 
>  “Our job is to continue our national mission of education reform focused on driving up standards and helping every learner in Wales, whatever their background, fulfil their potential. 
> 
>  “As the OECD recommends, our focus must be on making sure we continue to properly implement our vision for reform. I am committed to raising standards, reducing the attainment gap and delivering an education system that is a source of national pride and confidence.”

 Both the Education Secretary and Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills for the OECD, will today address representatives from all of Wales’ 205 state secondary schools at a special event in Cardiff.
