Rwyf wedi penodi'r Athro Harvey Weingarten i gynnal adolygiad o systemau ar gyfer monitro a gwella effeithiolrwydd addysg ôl\-orfodol yng Nghymru.  Yr Athro Weingarten yw Llywydd a Phrif Swyddog Gweithredol Cyngor Ansawdd Addysg Uwch Ontario. Mae'r Cyngor hwn yn asiantaeth sy'n gweithredu hyd braich oddi wrth lywodraeth Ontario, ac mae'n cynnal ymchwil ac yn darparu cyngor polisi i'r llywodraeth er mwyn gwella hygyrchedd, ansawdd ac atebolrwydd colegau a phrifysgolion. Mae'n arbenigwr o fri sydd ag arbenigedd eang ym maes addysg uwch, a dyma'r wybodaeth sydd ei hangen i gynnal adolygiad effeithiol.   
  
Gyda'i gefndir, ei brofiad a'i arbenigedd, ynghyd â'i annibyniaeth ar y sector addysg Cymru, rydym yn fodlon bod yr Athro Weingarten mewn sefyllfa unigryw i gynnal yr adolygiad hwn ar gyfer Llywodraeth Cymru. Bydd ei waith blaenorol a'i brofiad eang o systemau rheoleiddio, ynghyd â'i annibyniaeth ar y system bresennol yn y DU, hefyd o fudd mawr o ystyried yr amserlen dynn ar gyfer yr adolygiad.   
  
Bydd Adolygiad yr Athro Weingarten yn cyfrannu at ddatblygu systemau ar gyfer monitro a chefnogi'r system addysg ôl\-orfodol yng Nghymru, fel eu bod yn cymharu'n ffafriol â systemau eraill yn y DU ac yn aelod\-wladwriaethau eraill yr OECD o fewn y 10 mlynedd nesaf. Dylai'r adolygiad gael ei weld fel rhan o'n proses ehangach ar gyfer diwygio addysg a hyfforddiant ôl\-orfodol yng Nghymru yn yr hirdymor, sy'n cynnwys yr ymgynghoriad cyfredol ar greu Comisiwn Addysg Drydyddol ac Ymchwil i Gymru ac adolygiad yr Athro Grahame Reid o ymchwil ac arloesi a ariennir gan y llywodraeth yng Nghymru.    
  
Bydd yr Athro Weingarten yn adrodd ar ei ganfyddiadau ym mis Mawrth 2018\.  Mae cylch gorchwyl yr adolygiad yn Atodiad A.  
  
Atodiad A  
  
Cylch gorchwyl ar gyfer adolygiad o'r systemau ar gyfer monitro a gwella effeithiolrwydd addysg ôl\-orfodol yng Nghymru   
  
1\. Ystyried sut mae gweithgareddau a pherfformiad y sector addysg ôl\-orfodol yn cael eu monitro a'u gwerthuso gan Lywodraeth Cymru a'i hasiantaethau, gan gynnwys Estyn a CCAUC, sy'n arfer y cyfrifoldeb hwnnw drwy drefniadau a wnaed gyda'r Asiantaeth Sicrhau Ansawdd.  
  
2\. Ystyried effeithiolrwydd y trefniadau presennol ar gyfer monitro addysg ôl\-orfodol yng Nghymru drwy eu cymharu â threfniadau gwledydd eraill y DU, cymaryddion rhyngwladol perthnasol a thystiolaeth o waith ymchwil.  
  
3\. Gweithio gyda phobl yn y sector addysg ôl\-orfodol yng Nghymru i ystyried sut y gellir sicrhau bod y gweithgareddau presennol a'r cynlluniau ar gyfer y dyfodol yn cyd\-fynd â phum egwyddor Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol, sef:

• canolbwyntio ar atal;

• cyflawni'r 7 nod llesiant mewn ffordd integredig;

• cydweithio ag eraill er mwyn dod o hyd i atebion cynaliadwy a rennir;

4\. Ystyried argymhellion ar gyfer cyflwyno a gweithredu system gyhoeddus flynyddol ar gyfer adrodd ar, monitro, gwerthuso a gwella addysg ôl\-orfodol yng Nghymru.  
  
5\. Ystyried sut mae'r sector addysg ôl\-orfodol yng Nghymru yn parhau i sicrhau deilliannau o ansawdd uchel i fyfyrwyr mewn sector sy'n llwyddiannus ar lefel ryngwladol o ran arloesi ac ymchwil.  
  
6\. Ystyried a oes angen deddfwriaeth neu drefniadau sefydliadol newydd neu ddiwygiedig er mwyn gweithredu'r trefniadau a gynigir ar gyfer y dyfodol o ganlyniad i'r adolygiad hwn.  
  
7\. Cyflwyno sylwadau ar sut y gellir sicrhau bod y systemau presennol ar gyfer monitro a gwerthuso addysg ôl\-orfodol yn cyd\-fynd â nodau Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (2015\) a datblygiad strategaeth ar gyfer addysg ôl\-orfodol yn unol ag ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i Adroddiad Hazelkorn. Dyma'r saith nod llesiant:   
  
• Cymru lewyrchus;

• Cymru gydnerth;

I have appointed Professor Harvey Weingarten to undertake a Review of Systems for Monitoring and Improving the Effectiveness of Post\-compulsory Education in Wales. Professor Weingarten is President and CEO of the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario, an arm’s length agency of the Ontario government that conducts research and provides policy advice to government to improve the accessibility, quality and accountability of colleges and universities. He is a world renowned expert who has wide ranging expertise across the fields of higher education and it’s this knowledge that is needed in order to carry out an effective review.  

  

With his background, experience and expertise and independence from the Welsh education sector we are satisfied that Professor Weingarten is in a unique position to undertake a review of this kind for the Welsh Government. His previous work and extensive experience of regulatory systems as well his independence from the current system in UK will also be of great benefit bearing in mind the short timeframe over which the review will be conducted.  

  

Professor Weingarten’s review will contribute to the development of systems for monitoring and supporting the post\-compulsory education system in Wales so that they compare favourably with other systems in the UK and wider OECD member states within the next 10 years. The review should be seen as part of our wider approach to the longer term reform of post\-compulsory education and training in Wales, which includes the current consultation on the creation of a new Tertiary and Education and Research Commission for Wales and Professor Grahame Reid’s review of government\-funded research and innovation in Wales.    

  

Professor Weingarten will report on his findings by March 2018\. The terms of reference for the Review are provided at Annex A.


### Annex A


Terms of Reference for a Review of Systems for Monitoring and Improving the Effectiveness of Post\- Compulsory Education in Wales  

  

1\. Consider the ways in which the activities and performance of the post\-compulsory education sector are monitored and evaluated by Welsh Government and its agencies, including Estyn and HEFCW, which discharges that responsibility through arrangements made with the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA).  

  

2\. To consider the effectiveness of current arrangements for the monitoring of post\-compulsory education in Wales judged by reference to other UK nations, relevant international comparators and research evidence.  

  

3\. Work with people in the post\-compulsory education sector in Wales to consider how current activities and future plans can be aligned with the 5 principles of the Well\-Being of Future Generations Act. The five principles are as follows:


* look to the long term
* focus on prevention
* deliver an integrated approach to achieving the 7 well\-being goals
* work in collaboration with others to find shared sustainable solutions
* involve diverse populations in decisions that affect them.


 


4\. Consider recommendations for the introduction and operation of an annual publicly accessible system for reporting on, monitoring, evaluating and improving post\-compulsory education in Wales.  

  

5\. Consider how the post\-compulsory education sector in Wales continues to ensure high quality outcomes for students within a sector that is internationally successful for innovation and research.  

  

6\. To consider whether there may be a need for legislation and new or reformed institutional arrangements to take forward future arrangements proposed in the light of this review.  

  

7\. Comment on how the current systems for monitoring and evaluating post\-compulsory education can be aligned with the Well\-Being of the Future Generations Act (2015\) goals and the development of a post\-compulsory education strategy in\-keeping with the Welsh Government's response to the Hazelkorn Report. The 7 well\-being goals are as follows:


* a prosperous Wales
* a resilient Wales
* a healthier Wales
* a more equal Wales
* a Wales of cohesive communities
* a Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language
* a globally responsible Wales
