In July 2020, I appointed Professor Charlotte Williams OBE to chair the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Communities, Contributions and Cynefin in the New Curriculum Working Group.


The Group’s research and findings will feed into our ambitious new curriculum, and reinforce the importance of teaching diverse experiences and contributions of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic peoples across the curriculum.


The Group was asked to carry out its work in two phases. The first phase was to complete a review of learning resources currently available to support the teaching of themes relating to Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities and ‘cynefin’ across all parts of the curriculum, and the second phase was to review associated professional learning opportunities and resources.


In conclusion of the first phase, I was presented with an interim report focused on learning resources in November 2020:https://gov.wales/black\-asian\-and\-minority\-ethnic\-communities\-contributions\-and\-cynefin\-new\-curriculum\-working\-group


Today, in conclusion of the second phase of their work, I warmly welcome the Group’s final report and accept all the recommendations**:** https://gov.wales/final\-report\-black\-asian\-and\-minority\-ethnic\-communities\-contributions\-and\-cynefin\-new\-curriculum


The report builds on the content of the interim report, putting the availability of robust learning resources in the context of professional learning and development, and workforce training. The Group has also identified challenges and put forward solutions such as the issue of sustainability, and looks at the importance of taking a whole school approach, which involves parents, governors and the wider communities.


The report presented to me by the Group is thorough and candid, with a wealth of evidence from real voices, and a strong focus on enabling and supporting the development of teachers and our learners, as‘ethical and informed citizens of Wales and the world’at its heart.


I am pleased to also announce a budget of £500,000 for 2021/2022 to support the implementation of these recommendations as part of the delivery of the new Curriculum for Wales.


In the new curriculum, the history of Wales in all its diversity will be mandatory within the What Matters statements for the Humanities Area of Learning and Experience. Learning in this area must include an appreciation of identity and heritage, the story of Wales, and cultivating learners’ sense of cynefin. The What Matters Statements for this area now explicitly refer to a common understanding of the diverse history, cultural heritage, ethnic diversity, identities, experiences and perspectives of their local area, Wales and the wider world.


Contemplating different perspectives will help promote an understanding of the ethnic and cultural diversity within Wales. Taken together, these experiences will help learners appreciate the extent to which they are part of a wider international community, fostering a sense of belonging that can encourage them to contribute positively to their communities.


Reflecting on the Group’s views on the importance of sustainability for this work, I agree that it will be vital for these recommendations to be implemented through continued engagement with Estyn, the Group members themselves and other key stakeholders engaged in this process to date. We will also link this work with the Race Equality Action Plan, which is due to be published for consultation by 25 March, to embed our work.


I am truly grateful to Professor Charlotte Williams OBE for accepting my invitation to support the delivery of the new Curriculum for Wales in an advisory and implementation role from March 2021, including supporting officials to take forward these recommendations.


Finally, I would like to thank Professor Charlotte Williams OBE and the other Group members for their strong vision and hard work in carrying out the research to produce this excellent final report.

Ym mis Gorffennaf 2020, penodais yr Athro Charlotte Williams OBE i gadeirio’r Gweithgor Cymunedau, Cyfraniadau a Chynefin Pobl Dduon, Asiaidd a Lleiafrifoedd Ethnig yn y Cwricwlwm Newydd.


Bydd ymchwil a chanfyddiadau’r Grŵp yn cael eu bwydo i’n cwricwlwm newydd uchelgeisiol, gan atgyfnerthu pwysigrwydd addysgu am brofiadau a chyfraniadau amrywiol pobl Dduon, Asiaidd a Lleiafrifoedd Ethnig ar draws y cwricwlwm.


Gofynnwyd i’r Grŵp wneud ei waith mewn dau gam. Y cam cyntaf oedd llunio adolygiad o’r adnoddau sydd ar gael ar hyn o bryd i helpu i addysgu am themâu sy’n ymwneud â chymunedau a chynefin Pobl Dduon, Asiaidd a Lleiafrifoedd Ethnig ym mhob rhan o’r cwricwlwm. Yr ail gam oedd adolygu cyfleoedd ac adnoddau dysgu proffesiynol cysylltiedig.


Ar ddiwedd y cam cyntaf ym mis Tachwedd 2020, cyflwynwyd adroddiad interim imi yn canolbwyntio ar adnoddau dysgu**:** https://llyw.cymru/gweithgor\-cymunedau\-cyfraniadau\-chynefin\-pobl\-dduon\-asiaidd\-lleiafrifoedd\-ethnig\-yn\-y\-cwricwlwm


Heddiw, ar ddiwedd ail gam eu gwaith, rwy’n croesawu adroddiad terfynol y Grŵp ac yn derbyn pob un o’r argymhellion**:** https://llyw.cymru/adroddiad\-terfynol\-gweithgor\-cymunedau\-cyfraniadau\-chynefin\-pobl\-dduon\-asiaidd\-lleiafrifoedd\-ethnig\-yn\-y\-cwricwlwm


Mae’r adroddiad yn adeiladu ar gynnwys yr adroddiad interim, gan osod argaeledd adnoddau dysgu cadarn yng nghyd\-destun dysgu a datblygiad proffesiynol, a hyfforddiant i’r gweithlu. Mae’r Grŵp hefyd wedi dod o hyd i heriau ac wedi cynnig datrysiadau, er enghraifft cynaliadwyedd. Mae’n edrych ar bwysigrwydd defnyddio dull ysgol gyfan, sy’n cynnwys rhieni, llywodraethwyr a’r cymunedau ehangach.


Mae’r adroddiad a gyflwynwyd imi gan y Grŵp yn drylwyr ac yn wrthrychol, gyda chyfoeth o dystiolaeth a gasglwyd gan bobl go iawn. Wrth wraidd yr adroddiad mae pwyslais cryf ar alluogi a chefnogi datblygiad athrawon a’n dysgwyr fel‘dinasyddion egwyddorol a gwybodus yng Nghymru a’r byd’**.**


Rwy’n falch o gyhoeddi hefyd gyllideb o £500,000 ar gyfer 2021/2022 i helpu i weithredu’r argymhellion hyn fel rhan o’r gwaith o ddarparu’r Cwricwlwm newydd i Gymru.


Yn y cwricwlwm newydd, bydd hanes Cymru a’i holl amrywiaeth yn orfodol yn y Datganiadau o’r Hyn sy’n Bwysig ym Maes Dysgu a Phrofiad y Dyniaethau. Rhaid i’r hyn a ddysgir yn y maes hwn gynnwys gwerthfawrogiad o hunaniaeth a threftadaeth, stori Cymru, a ffyrdd o wella ymdeimlad o gynefin ymysg dysgwyr. Mae’r Datganiadau o’r Hyn sy’n Bwysig ar gyfer y maes hwn yn awr yn cyfeirio’n benodol at ddealltwriaeth gyffredin o hanes amrywiol, treftadaeth ddiwylliannol, amrywiaeth ethnig, hunaniaeth, profiadau a safbwyntiau ardaloedd lleol, Cymru a gweddill y byd.


Bydd ystyried gwahanol safbwyntiau yn helpu i hyrwyddo dealltwriaeth o’r amrywiaeth ethnig a diwylliannol sydd yng Nghymru. Gyda’i gilydd, bydd y profiadau hyn yn helpu dysgwyr i werthfawrogi i ba raddau y maent yn rhan o gymuned ryngwladol ehangach, gan feithrin ymdeimlad o berthyn a all eu hannog i gyfrannu mewn modd cadarnhaol at eu cymunedau.


Gan ystyried safbwyntiau’r Grŵp ynghylch pwysigrwydd cynaliadwyedd y gwaith hwn, rwy’n cytuno y bydd yn hanfodol i’r argymhellion hyn gael eu gweithredu drwy ymgysylltu’n barhaus ag Estyn, aelodau’r Grŵp eu hunain a rhanddeiliaid eraill sydd wedi ymwneud â’r broses hyd yma. Byddwn hefyd yn cysylltu’r gwaith hwn â’r Cynllun Gweithredu Cydraddoldeb Hiliol, sydd i fod i gael ei gyhoeddi ar gyfer ymgynghoriad erbyn 25 Mawrth, i ymgorffori ein gwaith.


Rwy’n ddiolchgar iawn i’r Athro Charlotte Williams OBE am dderbyn fy ngwahoddiad i helpu i ddarparu’r Cwricwlwm newydd i Gymru mewn rôl ymgynghorol a gweithredol o fis Mawrth 2021 ymlaen, gan gynnwys cefnogi swyddogion i fwrw ymlaen â’r argymhellion hyn.


I gloi, hoffwn ddiolch i’r Athro Charlotte Williams OBE ac aelodau eraill y Grŵp am eu gweledigaeth gadarn a’u gwaith caled wrth gynnal yr ymchwil i lunio’r adroddiad terfynol rhagorol hwn.
