Powers over teachers’ pay and conditions are in the process of being devolved to the Welsh Government from Westminster under the Wales Act.

 The Welsh Government will take responsibility for this area at the end of this September, with teachers’ pay and conditions being set by the Welsh Government from September 2019\.

 A consultation opens today on the mechanism for deciding teachers’ pay and conditions in Wales, with a model that would see unions, employers and the Welsh Government working together as part of a partnership forum.

 This new Partnership Forum would be able to propose changes to a draft remit for pay and conditions and set the agenda for any other issues that needed to be considered.

 Following consideration of the Forum’s views, Welsh Ministers would submit a ‘final’ remit for scrutiny and analysis by an independent expert body prior to taking any final decisions.

 Running parallel to the consultation is a group set up to review teachers’ pay and conditions, chaired by Professor Mick Waters. The group will consider where and how the current system could be improved and will report to the Cabinet Secretary later this year.

 Responsibility for teachers’ pay and conditions forms part of a broader set of measures to strengthen the profession in Wales. These include investment in business managers to reduce the administrative burden on headteachers, addressing classroom bureaucracy, reducing infant class sizes and the introduction of new professional standards.

 Kirsty Williams said:

 
> “I want to work closely with the profession to help teachers be the best they can be and that means looking at everything we can do to support them \- whether it be a fair and sensible structure for deciding pay and conditions, new ways to cut classroom bureaucracy or better professional development.
> 
>  “As a government, we have been absolutely clear that there’s no question of teachers being paid less than teachers in England.  The model we’re consulting on will ensure that unions, employers and Welsh Government can come together and agree a fair, sensible and sustainable way forward.
> 
>  “We also have to look at this in the round; there has never been a better opportunity to develop a truly national model that enshrines a national approach to supporting and elevating the profession.
> 
>  “I would urge everyone who shares our ambitions to take part in this consultation.”

Ar hyn o bryd, mae’r pwerau i bennu cyflog ac amodau athrawon wrthi’n cael eu trosglwyddo i Lywodraeth Cymru o San Steffan o dan Ddeddf Cymru.

 Ddiwedd mis Medi bydd y maes hwn yn gyfrifoldeb i Lywodraeth Cymru a bydd yn pennu cyflog ac amodau athrawon ysgol o fis Medi 2019\.

 Heddiw, mae ymgynghoriad yn agor sy’n trafod y mecanwaith ar gyfer pennu cyflog ac amodau athrawon ysgol yng Nghymru. Cynigir model a fyddai’n golygu bod y Llywodraeth, yr undebau a’r cyflogwyr yn cydweithio fel rhan o fforwm partneriaeth.

 Byddai’r Fforwm Partneriaeth newydd hwn yn gallu cynnig newidiadau i gylch gwaith drafft a gosod yr agenda ar gyfer unrhyw faterion eraill y mae angen eu hystyried.

 Ar ôl ystyried sylwadau’r Fforwm, byddai Gweinidogion Cymru'n cyflwyno cylch gwaith ‘terfynol’ er mwyn i gorff arbenigol annibynnol graffu arno a’i ddadansoddi, cyn iddynt benderfynu ar unrhyw beth yn derfynol.

 Ochr yn ochr â’r ymgynghoriad, mae grŵp wedi ei sefydlu i edrych ar gyflog ac amodau athrawon ysgol, o dan gadeiryddiaeth yr Athro Mick Waters. Bydd y grŵp yn ystyried sut y gellid gwella’r system bresennol, a byddant yn cyflwyno’u hadroddiad i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg yn nes ymlaen eleni.

 Mae’r cyfrifoldeb dros gyflog ac amodau athrawon ysgol yn rhan o gyfres ehangach o fesurau i gryfhau’r proffesiwn yng Nghymru. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys buddsoddi mewn rheolwyr busnes i leihau’r pwysau gweinyddol ar benaethiaid, mynd i’r afael â biwrocratiaeth yn yr ystafell ddosbarth, lleihau maint dosbarthiadau babanod a chyflwyno safonau proffesiynol newydd.

 Dywedodd Kirsty Williams:

 
> “Rwyf eisiau cydweithio â’r proffesiwn a helpu athrawon i wneud eu gwaith hyd orau eu gallu. Mae hyn yn golygu edrych ar bopeth y gallwn ni ei wneud i’w helpu, boed hynny’n strwythur teg a synhwyrol ar gyfer pennu cyflogau ac amodau, ffyrdd newydd o leihau biwrocratiaeth yn yr ystafell ddosbarth neu system well ar gyfer datblygiad proffesiynol.
> 
>  “Fel llywodraeth, rydym yn benderfynol o sicrhau bod athrawon yng Nghymru yn cael yr un faint o gyflog ag athrawon yn Lloegr. Bydd y model yr ydym yn ymgynghori arno yn sicrhau bod undebau, cyflogwyr a Llywodraeth Cymru yn gallu dod ynghyd i drafod a chytuno ar ffordd ymlaen sy’n deg, yn synhwyrol ac yn gynaliadwy.
> 
>  “Mae’n rhaid i ni edrych hefyd ar y darlun cyfan. Dyma gyfle i ddatblygu model cenedlaethol yng ngwir ystyr y gair, model cenedlaethol sy’n corffori dull o gefnogi a rhoi hwb i’r proffesiwn.
> 
>  “Rwy’n annog pawb sy’n rhannu’r un uchelgeisiau â ni i gymryd rhan yn yr ymgynghoriad hwn.”
