The Cabinet Secretary has reported on progress to better support the education of children who are looked after and outlined her plans for action to continue to raise their educational attainment and make sure they have the same opportunities as their peers.   
  
An annual report on the three year plan for looked after children highlights the progress being made, including an improvement in GSCE results. In 2016 23 per cent of children who are looked after achieved the equivalent of five GCSEs at grade A\*–C in English or Welsh first language and mathematics, a 6 percentage points increase on 2015\.  
  
The Welsh Government has also worked with Cardiff University – CASCADE to create a new online hub to share information and resources focusing on children in care to help improve their educational outcomes.   
  
The Education Secretary has committed to:  


* Looking at the training available to schools and further education colleges with a responsibility for children who are looked after.
* Getting local authorities to review the roles of key workers with a responsibility for children who are looked after.
* Working with the third sector to consider better ways of supporting children who are often difficult to engage in education.
* Making better use of the data available to help looked after children.

The Education Secretary recently announced that the Pupil Development Grant will be extended to provide support to three year old looked after children during their early years in schools. This is part of more than £90m this year to help disadvantaged pupils.  
  
Kirsty Williams said:  
  

> “Central to our national mission of education reform is for all children to do well and reach their potential, whatever their background. Looked after children must have the same opportunities as their peers. We have seen an excellent improvement in the GCSE results of those in care and we have committed more funding to build on this, but I want to go further.
> 
> “Children often enter care come from a background of family crisis or breakdown. While we can not change their personal experiences, we will continue to support them through their education and prepare them for adulthood.
> 
> “Research shows that all too often that simply by being ‘in care’ the expectations placed on these young people reduce. We are taking action to face this issue head on and will continue to do so.”

 Mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg wedi adrodd ar y cynnydd a wneir i gefnogi plant sy'n derbyn gofal yn well o ran eu haddysg. Amlinellodd hefyd ei chynlluniau o ran camau gweithredu i sicrhau ei bod yn parhau i wella'u cyrhaeddiad addysgol ac yn gwneud yn siŵr bod ganddynt yr un cyfleoedd â'u cyfoedion.   
  
Mae adroddiad blynyddol ar y cynllun tair blynedd ar gyfer plant sy'n derbyn gofal yn rhoi sylw i'r cynnydd a wneir, gan gynnwys gwella canlyniadau TGAU. Yn 2016 roedd 23 y cant o blant sy'n derbyn gofal wedi llwyddo i gael pum TGAU neu gyfwerth, gradd A\*–C mewn Cymraeg iaith gyntaf neu Saesneg a Mathemateg – cynnydd o chwe pwynt canran ar ganlyniadau 2015\.   
  
Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cydweithio â Phrifysgol Caerdydd hefyd – CASCADE – i greu  canolbwynt ar\-lein newydd er mwyn rhannu gwybodaeth ac adnoddau sy'n helpu gwella canlyniadau addysgol plant sy'n derbyn gofal.   
  
Mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg wedi ymrwymo i wneud y canlynol:  


* Edrych ar yr hyfforddiant sydd ar gael i ysgolion a cholegau addysg bellach sy'n gyfrifol am blant sy'n derbyn gofal.
* Sicrhau bod awdurdodau lleol yn adolygu rolau gweithwyr allweddol sy'n gyfrifol am blant sy'n derbyn gofal.
* Cydweithio â'r trydydd sector i ystyried ffyrdd gwell o gefnogi plant y mae'n aml yn anodd ennyn eu diddordeb mewn addysg.
* Gwneud defnydd gwell o'r data sydd ar gael i helpu plant sy'n derbyn gofal.

Yn ddiweddar, cyhoeddodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg y bydd y Grant Datblygu Disgyblion yn cael ei ehangu i gynnig cymorth i blant tair oed sy'n derbyn gofal yn ystod eu blynyddoedd cynnar yn yr ysgol. Mae hynny'n rhan o fwy na £90m eleni a roddwyd i helpu disgyblion difreintiedig.   
  
Dywedodd Kirsty Williams:  
  

> “Yr hyn sy'n ganolog i'n cenhadaeth genedlaethol o ddiwygio addysg yw bod pob plentyn yn gwneud yn dda ac yn cyflawni eu potensial, waeth beth fo'u cefndir. Rhaid i blant sy'n derbyn gofal gael yr un cyfleoedd â'u cyfoedion. Rydyn ni wedi gweld gwelliant gwych yng nghanlyniadau TGAU y rhai hynny sy'n derbyn gofal, ac rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo rhagor o gyllid i ddatblygu hynny. Ond rwy am wneud mwy na hynny.
> 
> “Yn aml, mae plant sy'n derbyn gofal yn dod o gefndir o argyfwng teuluol neu deulu'n chwalu. Er na allwn ni newid eu profiadau personol, byddwn ni'n parhau i'w cefnogi drwy eu haddysg a'u paratoi ar gyfer bywyd fel oedolyn.
> 
> “Mae ymchwil yn dangos yn rhy aml o lawer bod disgwyliadau pobl o ran y bobl ifanc hyn yn gostwng dim ond am eu bod yn 'derbyn gofal'. Rydyn ni'n cymryd camau i fynd i'r afael â'r mater hwn a byddwn ni'n parhau i wneud hynny.”
