Ym mis Ionawr 2013, sefydlodd fy rhagflaenydd grŵp llywio annibynnol i ystyried dyfodol cyfrifiadureg a TGCh mewn ysgolion yng Nghymru. Ymhlith aelodau'r grŵp, roedd cynrychiolwyr o amrywiol randdeiliaid allweddol. Fe'i cadeiriwyd gan Stuart Arthur o Box UK, Tom Crick o Brifysgol Fetropolitan Caerdydd a Janet Hayward o Ysgol Gynradd Tregatwg. Cafodd y grŵp orchwyl i lunio adroddiad yn amlinellu ei argymhellion ar gyfer y ffordd ymlaen. Ymhlith y themau i'w hystyried yn yr adroddiad, roedd:

 * Mae angen i 'TGCh' mewn ysgolion gael ei hailfrandio a'i hailwampio ac mae angen sicrhau ei bod yn berthnasol i'r presennol ac i'r dyfodol.
* Man cychwyn yn unig yw llythrennedd digidol \- mae angen addysgu dysgwyr i greu yn ogystal â defnyddio.
* Dylid cyflwyno cyfrifiadureg yn yr ysgol gynradd a'i datblygu yn holl gyfnodau'r cwricwlwm er mwyn i ddysgwyr fedru symud ymlaen i ddilyn gyrfa yn y sector.
* Dylai sgiliau, megis datrys problemau mewn modd creadigol, fod yn rhan o'r cwricwlwm.
* Mae angen mynd ati, mewn partneriaeth ag ysgolion, Addysg Uwch a'r diwydiant, i ddatblygu cymwysterau diwygiedig.

 Mae adroddiad y Grŵp Llywio TGCh, a gyhoeddwyd heddiw, yn gofyn rhai cwestiynau arwyddocaol iawn ac yn ymchwilio i themau y mae angen inni eu hystyried yn awr yng nghyd\-destun yr adolygiad ehangach o'r Cwricwlwm Cenedlaethol ac asesu. Yn ei dro, caiff ei ystyried yng nghyd\-destun fy mlaenoriaethau ar gyfer addysg yng Nghymru:

 * gwella llythrennedd
* gwella rhifedd
* lleihau effaith amddifadedd ar ddeilliannau addysgol.

 Rwy'n hynod ddiolchgar am yr adroddiad hwn a byddaf yn ymateb yn llawn i'r argymhellion maes o law. Yn y cyfamser, hoffwn ddiolch i Stuart Arthur, Tom Crick a Janet Hayward, ac Aelodau canlynol y grŵp, am eu holl waith i lunio'r adroddiad a'r argymhellion:

In January 2013, my predecessor established an independent steering group to explore and consider the future of computer science and ICT in schools in Wales. The membership of the group was comprised of representatives from a cross\-section of key stakeholders and was chaired by Stuart Arthur, Box UK, Tom Crick, Cardiff Metropolitan University and Janet Hayward, Cadoxton Primary School. The group was tasked with delivering a report which set out their recommendations on a way forward and which considered, amongst others, the following themes:


* ‘ICT’ in schools needs to be re\-branded, re\-engineered and made relevant to now and to the future.
* Digital literacy is the start and not the end point – learners need to be taught to create as well as to consume.
* Computer science should be introduced at primary school and developed over the course of the curriculum so that learners can progress into a career pathway in the sector.
* Skills, such as creative problem\-solving, should be reflected in the curriculum.
* Revised qualifications need to be developed in partnership with schools, Higher Education and industry.


The report of the ICT Steering Group, published today, poses some very significant questions and explores themes that we must now consider in the context of the wider review of assessment and the National Curriculum. This, in turn, is set in the context of my priorities for Welsh education:


* improving literacy
* improving numeracy
* reducing the impact of deprivation on educational outcomes.


I am very grateful for this report and will respond in full to all these recommendations in due course. In the meantime, I would like to express my gratitude to Stuart Arthur, Tom Crick and Janet Hayward, and the following Members of the steering group for all their work in producing the report and the recommendations:


* Professor Khalid Al\-Begain (University of Glamorgan)
* Chris Britten (Ashgrove Special School, Vale of Glamorgan)
* Lucy Bunce (Y Pant Comprehensive School, Rhondda Cynon Taff)
* Gareth Edmondson (Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr, Swansea)
* Mark Feeney (e\-skills UK)
* Charlie Godfrey (Fujitsu)
* Ben Lidgey (Monitise)
* Hannah Mathias (St David’s Catholic College, Cardiff)
* Professor Faron Moller (Swansea University)
* Simon Pridham (Casllwchwr Primary School, Swansea)
