Yn ei llythyr cylch gwaith blynyddol i Gyngor Cyllido Addysg Uwch Cymru (CCAUC), mae wedi amlinellu ei disgwyliadau o’r sector addysg uwch, gan gynnwys yr angen i brifysgolion dalu Cyflog Byw i’w staff.   
  
Ar hyn o bryd, dim ond un brifysgol yng Nghymru sy’n gyflogwr cyflog byw achrededig. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn gyflogwr Cyflog Byw achrededig ers 2015\.    
  
Dywedodd Kirsty Williams:

 
> “Dwi’n uchelgeisiol yn hyn o beth, ac yn hyderus y gall addysg uwch gyflawni ein cenhadaeth genedlaethol i gynnig mwy o gyfleoedd i bob un o’n dinasyddion, codi safonau ar draws y bwrdd, a sicrhau system addysg sy’n destun balchder a hyder cenedlaethol ac sy’n arloesol.  
>   
> “Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn gyflogwr Cyflog Byw achrededig ers 2015\. Fe hoffwn i weld y Cyngor Cyllido hefyd yn dechrau gweithio gyda sefydliadau i greu sector cyflog byw. Dwi’n disgwyl gweld camau yn cael eu cymryd yn fuan. Mae’n siomedig mai dim ond un o’n prifysgolion sy’n gyflogwr cyflog byw achrededig.  
>   
> “Mae ymrwymiad ‘prifysgolion’ i ymgyrch leol yn golygu ymestyn y tu hwnt i’r campws ac i mewn i’w cymunedau. Dydy hyn ddim yn gyfyngedig i addysgu a gwaith ymchwil neu i faterion ehangu mynediad. Fe ddylai gael ei ddangos yn y ffordd maen nhw’n rhoi gwerth ar eu staff a’u myfyrwyr, ac fe ddylen nhw fod yn esiampl o gyflogwr blaengar a theg.  
>   
> “Fe hoffwn i weld CCAUC yn gweithio ochr yn ochr â sefydliadau ar y materion hyn – caffael er enghraifft, gan roi sylw i effeithlonrwydd, cyfrifoldeb ac effaith gymdeithasol, a chyfleoedd i fyfyrwyr, graddedigion a chyflogwyr.”

 Y llynedd, galwodd yr Ysgrifennydd Addysg ar brifysgolion Cymru i ailgysylltu â’r cymunedau o’u cwmpas.

In her annual remit letter to Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) she has set out her expectations from the higher education sector, including the need for universities to pay their staff the Living Wage.  

  

Currently only one Welsh university is an accredited living wage employer. The Welsh Government has been an accredited Living Wage employer since 2015\.    

  

Kirsty Williams said:



> “I am ambitious, and confident, that higher education can deliver on our national mission to open up opportunities for all our citizens, raise standards across the board and ensure an education system that is a source of national pride, innovation and confidence.  
> 
>   
> 
> “The Welsh Government has been an accredited Living Wage employer since 2015\.  I would also like the Council to begin working with institutions to create a living wage sector. I expect to see rapid progress on this. It is disappointing that only one of our universities is an accredited living wage employer.

> “Universities’ commitment to a civic mission requires reach beyond campus and into their host communities. This is not restricted to teaching and research and widening access. It should be demonstrated in how they value their staff and students, and be an example of a progressive and fair employer.  
> 
>   
> 
> “I would like to see HEFCW work with institutions on these matters, such as procurement, with an emphasis on efficiency, social responsibility and impact, and student, graduate and employer opportunities.”


Last year the Education Secretary called for Welsh universities to reconnect with the communities that surround them.
