Mae’r  Strategaeth Iaith Gymraeg \- *Cymraeg 2050* yn nodi’r angen am ffocws newydd i ddarpariaeth cyfrwng Cymraeg a dwyieithog yn y sector ôl\-16 a phwysigrwydd cynnal a datblygu sgiliau iaith pobl ifanc.


Yn dilyn ein ymateb i’r ymrwymiad yn Rhaglen Lywodraethu’r Llywodraeth i "*archwilio’r posibilrwydd o ehangu cylch gwaith y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol i gynnwys addysg bellach,”* mae'r Coleg bellach ym cymryd mwy o gyfrifoldeb i gefnogi colegau addysg bellach a darparwyr prentisiaethau i ddatblygu eu darpariaeth cyfrwng Cymraeg; gan eu cynorthwyo i oresgyn rhwystrau oedd yn y gorffennol wedi cyfyngu ar eu gallu i gynyddu’r ddarpariaeth.


I gyd\-fynd gyda’r cyfrifoldebau ychwanegol, sefydlwyd bwrdd ymgynghorol gyda chynrychiolaeth o’r sectorau addysg bellach a dysgu’n seiliedig ar waith i ystyried y cyfleoedd a'r heriau wrth gefnogi datblygiad addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg a dwyieithog ac i gefnogi'r Coleg i ddatblygu cynllun gweithredu.  Blaenoriaethwyd tri maes penodol:


* cefnogi staff presennol colegau a darparwyr hyfforddiant i ddatblygu eu sgiliau iaith Gymraeg er mwyn addysgu'n ddwyieithog;
* datblygu adnoddau addysgu cyfrwng Cymraeg; a
* hyrwyddo'r cyfleoedd a'r manteision i ddysgwyr ym meysydd blaenoriaeth Llywodraeth Cymru.


Cyflwynodd y grŵp adroddiad i mi ym mis Gorffennaf 2018 ar eu canfyddiadau, ac mae hwn bellach wedi ei ddatblygu, mewn partneriaeth gyda swyddogion, yn gynllun gweithredu ffurfiol sy'n cael ei gyhoeddi heddiw.


Rwy'n falch, mewn cyfnod mor fyr, fod y Coleg nid yn unig wedi ymateb i'r her newydd, ond mae cynllun uchelgeisiol clir wedi'i greu mewn ymateb i'r ystod eang o heriau a nodwyd. Rydym wedi rhagori ar ein disgwyliadau cychwynnol ac mae’r rhaglen waith ar gyfer y blynyddoedd nesaf wedi ei gosod, nid yn unig ar gyfer datblygu'r ddarpariaeth cyfrwng Cymraeg a dwyieithog ond hefyd i ddarparu cyfleoedd i bobl ifanc i ddefnyddio'r Gymraeg yn gymdeithasol o fewn yr amgylchedd dysgu. Bydd y Coleg mewn partneriaeth â Llywodraeth Cymru nawr yn cymryd y camau hyn ymlaen, gan adeiladu ar y gweithgareddau sydd eisoes wedi dechrau.

Translation:


 
The Welsh language strategy *– Cymraeg 2050* highlighted the need for a renewed focus on the post\-16 sector’s Welsh\-medium and bilingual provision and its importance in maintaining and developing the Welsh language skills of young people.


Following our response to the Welsh Government’s Programme for Government commitment to “*explore the potential expansion of the remit of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to include further education”,* the Coleg is now taking increased responsibility in supporting FE colleges and apprenticeship providers to develop their Welsh\-medium provision; assisting them to overcome barriers which have in the past limited their ability to increase their provision. 


To coincide with the additional responsibility, the Coleg established an advisory group with representation from further education colleges and the work\-based learning sectors to consider the opportunities and challenges in supporting the development of Welsh\-medium and bilingual education and to support the Coleg with developing an action plan.  Three specific areas were prioritised: 


* supporting current staff of colleges and training providers to develop their Welsh language skills in order to teach bilingually;
* develop Welsh\-medium teaching resources; and
* promoting the opportunities and benefits to learners in Welsh Government priority areas.


The group provided me with a report on their findings in July 2018 and this has now been developed, in partnership with my officials, into a formal action plan which is being published today.


I’m pleased that in such a short period of time, that not only has the Coleg responded to the new challenge, but a clear ambitious plan has been set to respond to the wide range of challenges that have been identified. We have surpassed our initial expectations and a work programme for the next few years has been set, not only to develop the Welsh\-medium and bilingual provision but also to provide opportunities for young people to use Welsh socially within the learning environment The Coleg in partnership with Welsh Government will now take these actions forward, building on the activity that has already been initiated.
