In October 2011 I announced the consolidation of funding to support Welsh language provision in schools. From April 2012, the Welsh in Education Grant amalgamated funding previously provided by the following grant schemes:


* the former Better Schools Fund (Priority Area 2\), separately administered as the Welsh in Education Grant during 2011\-12
* the Welsh Language Board grant for athrawon bro
* the Welsh Language Board grant for pilot latecomers’ immersion projects and primary\-secondary school linguistic progression.


Applications are now being invited by regional consortia for the 2013\-14 Welsh in Education Grant. A total of £5\.6m has been allocated for the Grant, with match funding by local authorities meaning that at least £8\.4m will be spent on activities aimed at achieving the outcomes of the Welsh\-medium Education Strategy during 2013\-14\.


Whilst elements of the Grant have historically been primarily focussed on activities to raise standards of teaching Welsh as a second language, consortia will now be required to ensure that the Grant funds a wider range of activities. 2013\-14 Grant allocations for each consortia have therefore been divided into three activity areas:


* Teaching and learning Welsh as a first language
* Teaching and learning other subjects through the medium of Welsh
* Teaching and learning Welsh as a second language


These allocations have been calculated on the basis of pupil numbers in each sector and will ensure that the Welsh in Education Grant supports Welsh language learning across the entire curriculum.


This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Assembly returns I would be happy to do so.

Ym mis Hydref 2011, cyhoeddais y byddai cyllid i gefnogi darpariaeth iaith Gymraeg mewn ysgolion yn cael ei gydgrynhoi. O fis Ebrill 2012, cafodd cyllid a ddarparwyd yn flaenorol drwy’r cynlluniau grant canlynol ei gyfuno o dan Grant y Gymraeg mewn Addysg:* y Gronfa Ysgolion Gwell gynt (Maes Blaenoriaeth 2\) fe’i gweinyddwyd ar wahân fel Grant y Gymraeg mewn Addysg yn ystod 2011\-2012
* grant Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg ar gyfer athrawon bro
* grant Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg ar gyfer prosiectau peilot trochi i hwyrddyfodiaid a dilyniant ieithyddol o’r ysgol gynradd i’r ysgol uwchradd.

Bellach, gwahoddir ceisiadau gan gonsortia rhanbarthol ar gyfer Grant y Gymraeg mewn Addysg 2013\-14\. Mae cyfanswm o £5\.6m wedi’i ddyrannu i’r Grant, a gydag arian cyfatebol gan awdurdodau lleol, bydd hyn yn golygu y caiff o leiaf £8\.4m ei wario yn ystod 2013\-14 ar weithgareddau sydd â’r nod o gyflawni’r hyn a nodir yn y Strategaeth Addysg Cyfrwng Cymraeg.Yn hanesyddol, roedd elfennau ar y Grant wedi’u ffocysu ar weithgareddau i godi safonau addysgu Cymraeg fel ail iaith. Fodd bynnag, yn awr bydd gofyn i gonsortia sicrhau bod y Grant yn ariannu amrywiaeth ehangach o weithgareddau. Felly, mae dyraniadau 2013\-14 ar gyfer pob consortia wedi’u rhannu’n dri maes gweithgaredd:

* Addysgu a dysgu Cymraeg fel iaith gyntaf
* Addysgu a dysgu pynciau eraill drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg
* Addysgu a dysgu Cymraeg fel ail iaith

Mae’r dyraniadau hyn wedi’u cyfrifo ar sail nifer y disgyblion ym mhob sector. Bydd hyn yn sicrhau bod Grant y Gymraeg mewn Addysg yn cefnogi dysgu Cymraeg ar draws y cwricwlwm cyfan.Caiff y datganiad ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau. Os bydd aelodau eisiau i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Cynulliad yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.
