Ffurfiwyd y Cyngor ym mis Ebrill 2015, yn sgil cyflwyno Deddf Addysg (Cymru) 2014\. Mae'n gyfrifol am:

 * lunio a chynnal Cofrestr o athrawon ysgol, athrawon Addysg Bellach, staff cymorth dysgu mewn ysgolion ac Addysg Bellach, gweithwyr ieuenctid, gweithwyr cymorth ieuenctid ac ymarferwyr dysgu seiliedig ar waith
* adolygu a diwygio'r Cod Ymddygiad ac Ymarfer Proffesiynol
* ymchwilio i achosion yn ymwneud â chymhwyster personau cofrestredig i ymarfer a gwrando'r achosion hynny
* ar gais, cynnig cyngor i Weinidogion Cymru ac eraill ar amrywiaeth o faterion proffesiynol gan gynnwys safonau ymddygiad ac ymarfer; rolau proffesiynol a statws; hyfforddi, datblygu gyrfa a rheoli perfformiad; recriwtio, cadw a chyflenwi ymarferwyr addysg cofrestredig
* achredu cyrsiau neu raglenni addysg gychwynnol i athrawon
* monitro i ba raddau y mae cyrsiau neu raglenni achrededig addysg gychwynnol i athrawon yn cydymffurfio â'r meini prawf a gyhoeddwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru
* tynnu achrediad cyrsiau neu raglenni addysg gychwynnol i athrawon yn ôl.

 Mae Rheoliadau Cyngor y Gweithlu Addysg (Aelodaeth a Phenodi) (Cymru) 2014 yn darparu bod aelodaeth o'r Cyngor yn cynnwys nid llai na 14 o aelodau. Bydd saith aelod yn cael eu penodi'n uniongyrchol gan Weinidogion Cymru a bydd saith aelod arall yn cael eu penodi gan Weinidogion Cymru wedi iddynt gael eu henwebu gan sefydliadau a restrir yn yr Atodlen i Reoliadau 2014\.

 Ni thelir aelodau’r Cyngor, ond maent yn cael eu had\-dalu am gostau teithio a chynhaliaeth rhesymol. Eu hymrwymiad amser yw 10\-12 diwrnod y flwyddyn.

 Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg:

 
> “Rwy’n falch bod Mrs Jones wedi cytuno i weithio ar Gyngor y Gweithlu Addysg; rwy’n siŵr y bydd hi'n dod â chyfoeth o wybodaeth a phrofiad i'w rôl fel aelod o'r Cyngor.“

 Gwnaed y penodiadau hyn yn unol â’r Cod Llywodraethiant ar Benodiadau Cyhoeddus.

 Gwneir pob penodiad ar sail teilyngdod ac nid yw gweithgarwch gwleidyddol yn chwarae unrhyw ran yn y broses ddethol.  Fodd bynnag, yn unol ag argymhellion gwreiddiol Nolan, mae’n ofynnol cyhoeddi gweithgarwch gwleidyddol y sawl a benodir (os caiff gweithgarwch o’r fath ei ddatgan).

 Roedd yr unigolyn hwn yn cyflawni gweithgarwch gwleidyddol yn ystod y pum mlynedd diwethaf yn ymwneud â chanfasio ar ran y Blaid Lafur.

The Cabinet Secretary for Education said:

These appointments were made in accordance with the Governance Code on Public Appointments.


All appointments are made on merit and political activity plays no part in the selection process.  However, in accordance with the original Nolan recommendations, there is a requirement for the political activity of appointees (if any declared) to be published.
