I am pleased to announce today there will be an uplift of pay to reward our highly skilled and hardworking teachers in Wales. 


I announced on 22 July that subject to consultation with key stakeholders, the statutory minimum of the teacher main pay range would be increased by 5%, and that there would be a 2\.75% uplift to the statutory maximum of the main pay range, minima and maxima of all other school teacher and leadership pay ranges and allowances.  


I have now considered the responses to that consultation and can confirm that nothing has emerged that warrants reconsideration of the proposed pay award for teachers for 2019/20\. 


Consequently, I will shortly lay the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions (Wales) Order 2019 which gives effect to the first School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions (Wales) Document 2019\. 


The pay award will be backdated to 1 September 2019\.


Today’s announcement shows the benefit of Welsh Government gaining responsibility for these powers. In setting teachers’ pay for the first time, we have diverged from proposals in England by ensuring that the starting salary for teachers in Wales will be higher. This will help to promote teaching as a profession of choice for graduates and career changers. Alongside our reforms to professional learning, the curriculum and initial teacher training, it will help to encourage the highest quality teachers to join the profession here in Wales. 


We recognise that teachers’ pay is a significant element of schools and local authorities’ budgets. We are also well aware of the many competing pressures on budgets.  Therefore, following discussions with local government, we will provide £12\.8 million (including £0\.9m for sixth form provision as a specific grant) in support of the cost of the pay award in this financial year. The future impact of this pay award is part of the government’s consideration of the Local Government Settlement.

Mae'n bleser gen i gyhoeddi heddiw ein bod am wobrwyo ein hathrawon medrus a diwyd yng Nghymru drwy godi eu cyflog. 


Ar 22 Gorffennaf, cyhoeddais y byddai isafswm statudol prif ystod cyflog athrawon yn cynyddu 5%, yn amodol ar ganlyniadau ymgynghori â rhanddeiliaid allweddol, ac y byddai uchafswm statudol y prif ystod cyflog, ac isafswm ac uchafswm holl ystodau cyflog a lwfansau eraill athrawon ac arweinwyr ysgol yn cynyddu 2\.75%.  


Rwyf bellach wedi ystyried yr ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad hwnnw, a gallaf gadarnhau nad oes unrhyw beth wedi dod i'r amlwg sy'n gwarantu ailystyried y dyfarniad cyflog arfaethedig ar gyfer athrawon yn 2019/20\. 


Af ati yn fuan, felly, i osod Gorchymyn Cyflog ac Amodau Athrawon Ysgol (Cymru) 2019 sy'n rhoi effaith i'r Ddogfen Cyflog ac Amodau Athrawon Ysgol (Cymru) 2019 gyntaf. 


Caiff y dyfarniad cyflog ei ôl\-ddyddio i 1 Medi 2019\.


Mae cyhoeddiad heddiw yn dangos mantais rhoi'r cyfrifoldeb i Lywodraeth Cymru am y pwerau hyn. Wrth fynd ati am y tro cyntaf i bennu cyflog athrawon, rydym wedi dilyn cwys gwahanol i Loegr drwy sicrhau y bydd cyflog cychwynnol athrawon yng Nghymru yn uwch. Bydd hyn yn helpu i hyrwyddo addysgu fel proffesiwn sy'n denu graddedigion a'r rheini sydd am newid gyrfa. Ochr yn ochr â'n diwygiadau i ddysgu proffesiynol, y cwricwlwm a hyfforddiant cychwynnol athrawon, bydd yn helpu i annog yr athrawon o'r safon uchaf i ymuno â'r proffesiwn yma yng Nghymru. 


Rydym yn cydnabod bod cyflog athrawon yn elfen sylweddol o gyllidebau ysgolion ac awdurdodau lleol. Rydym yn ymwybodol iawn hefyd o'r holl elfennau eraill sy'n cystadlu am ran o'r cyllidebau.  Yn dilyn trafodaethau â llywodraeth leol, felly, byddwn yn darparu £12\.8 miliwn (gan gynnwys £0\.9m ar gyfer darpariaeth chweched dosbarth ar ffurf grant penodol) tuag at y dyfarniad cyflog y flwyddyn ariannol hon. Mae effaith y dyfarniad cyflog hwn yn rhan o ystyriaeth y llywodraeth o Setliad Llywodraeth Leol.
