Mae’n fwriad i bob ysgol ddechrau’r cam nesaf ar y 29 Mehefin, gyda’r tymor yn cael ei ymestyn am wythnos hyd at 27 Gorffennaf.


Yn ystod y flwyddyn academaidd nesaf, sy’n dechrau ym mis Medi, y bwriad yw ymestyn hanner tymor mis hydref i bara am bythefnos.          


Ym mhob ysgol, bydd dull o weithredu fesul cam yn cael ei roi ar waith. Bydd y blynyddoedd ysgol yn cael eu rhannu yn grwpiau ac yn dechrau yn ôl ac yn cael gwersi ac egwyliau fesul grŵp. Mae disgwyl y bydd hyn yn golygu yn fras y bydd traean o ddisgyblion yn bresennol ar unrhyw un amser, ond efallai y bydd ysgolion angen amser i gyrraedd y lefel weithredu hon.


Bydd y dosbarthiadau’n llawer llai, gan ddarparu amser penodol, diogel gydag athrawon a chyd\-ddisgyblion. Bydd yr amser hwn yn cynnwys profiad dosbarth ar\-lein a phersonol, gan baratoi plant a staff ar gyfer profiad tebyg ym mis Medi.


Yr wythnos nesaf bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn cyhoeddi canllawiau i gefnogi ysgolion (ac addysg bellach ac uwch). Bydd hyn yn cynnwys gwybodaeth am reoli eu cyfleusterau a threfniadau logisteg: gan gynnwys adeiladau, adnoddau, glanhau a thrafnidiaeth.                 


Hefyd mae’r Llywodraeth wedi cyhoeddi papur gan ei Grŵp Cynghori Technegol COVID\-19 heddiw, yn cynnwys y ddealltwriaeth ddiweddaraf o’r feirws mewn perthynas â phlant ac addysg.                               


Mae colegau addysg bellach yn sicrhau bod mesurau priodol yn cael eu rhoi ar waith i ailagor ar gyfer dysgu wyneb yn wyneb o’r 15fed Mehefin ymlaen. Byddant yn blaenoriaethu’r myfyrwyr hynny sydd angen asesiadau trwydded i ymarfer, a dysgwyr agored i niwed. Mae hyn yn dilyn gweithio’n agos gyda’r Llywodraeth a’r undebau llafur ar y cyd.       


Bydd canllawiau ar gyfer darparwyr gofal plant yn cael eu cyhoeddi yr wythnos nesaf hefyd, gan eu cefnogi i gynyddu nifer y plant sy’n bresennol ochr yn ochr ag ysgolion.  


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Addysg:       



> Mae fy nghyhoeddiad i heddiw’n rhoi tair wythnos a hanner i ysgolion i barhau i baratoi ar gyfer y cam nesaf.        
> 
> 
> Byddwn yn defnyddio wythnosau olaf tymor yr haf i wneud yn siŵr bod disgyblion, staff a rhieni yn barod – yn feddyliol, yn emosiynol ac yn ymarferol – ar gyfer y normal newydd ym mis Medi.

> 
> Mae’r 29ain o Fehefin yn golygu y bydd mis llawn o brofi, olrhain a diogelu wedi bod a bydd yn parhau i ehangu hefyd. Hefyd gallaf gyhoeddi y bydd athrawon a chynorthwywyr addysgu yn grŵp blaenoriaeth yn ein rhaglen profion gwrthgyrff newydd.

> Mae’r wyddoniaeth sy’n esblygu’n awgrymu bod tywydd cynnes a golau’r haul yn rhoi’r cyfle gorau i ni sicrhau mwy o amser mewn ysgolion. Byddai aros tan fis Medi yn golygu bron i hanner blwyddyn heb addysgu – byddai hynny’n niweidiol i les, i gynnydd dysgu ac i iechyd meddwl ein pobl ifanc ni.

> Mae hwn yn, ac wedi bod, yn gyfnod pryderus i ni i gyd. Rydw i’n gwybod y bydd llawer ohonoch chi’n teimlo’n nerfus. Dydyn ni heb frysio gyda’r gwaith a’r penderfyniad hwn.
> 
> 
> Hefyd mae’r cyfnod o dair wythnos a hanner cyn y cam nesaf yn rhoi amser i ni gadw llygad ar ddatblygiadau mewn llefydd eraill, ac mae’n darparu cyfleoedd gwirio pellach i adolygu’r dystiolaeth ac ehangu’r profi.

> Dyma’r opsiwn ymarferol gorau sy’n cadw at fy mhum egwyddor sy’n sail i fy mhenderfyniadau.

> 
> Trwy gydweithio, byddwn yn sicrhau tegwch a rhagoriaeth i ddisgyblion wrth iddyn nhw ddod i’r ysgol, dal ati i ddysgu, a pharatoi ar gyfer yr Haf a mis Medi.

It is proposed that all schools will start the next phase on 29 June, with the term extended by a week, therefore ending on 27 July. 


In the next academic year, beginning in September, the intention is that the autumn half\-term break will be expanded to two weeks.


In each school there will be a phased approach. Year groups will be split into cohorts with staggered starts, lessons and breaks. It is expected that this will mean, at most, a third of pupils present at any one time, though schools may need time to reach this level of operation.


There will be much smaller classes, providing secure dedicated time with teaching staff and classmates. This time will include online and personalised classroom experience, getting children and staff ready for a similar experience in September.


Next week, the Welsh Government will publish guidance to support schools, as well as further and higher education institutions. This will include information on managing their facilities and logistical arrangements, including buildings, resources, cleaning and transport.


The Government is also today publishing a paper from its COVID\-19 Technical Advisory Group, representing the latest understanding of the virus with respect to children and education.


Further Education colleges are ensuring that appropriate measures are being taken to re\-open for face\-to\-face learning from 15 June. They will prioritise those students requiring licence to practice assessments and vulnerable learners. This follows close working with Government and the joint trade unions.


Guidance for childcare providers will also be published in the next week, supporting them to increase the numbers of children in attendance alongside schools.

> 29 June means there will have been one full month of test, trace and protect, which will continue to expand. I can also announce that teachers and teaching assistants will be a priority group in our new antibody\-testing programme. As we continue to keep Wales safe, this approach will be critical.

Waiting until September would mean almost half a year without schooling.  That would be to the detriment to the wellbeing, learning progress and mental health of our young people.

> This is and has been a worrying period for us all. I know that many will feel apprehensive. We have not rushed this work and this decision.
