Mae systemau heb arian yn dod yn fwyfwy poblogaidd mewn ysgolion ledled Cymru ac yn caniatáu i rieni dalu am brydau eu plant yn ogystal â gwasanaethau eraill sy’n cael eu darparu gan ysgolion fel tripiau ysgol neu fenthyg llyfrau llyfrgell, drwy gyfrif ar\-lein.

Gan ddefnyddio porthol ar\-lein, gall rhieni a myfyrwyr ychwanegu credyd at eu cyfrif, a rhoi mwy arno pan fo angen, ac yna defnyddio system fiometrig i dalu am brydau bwyd. Mae’r elfen ar\-lein hefyd yn caniatáu i rieni fonitro dewisiadau bwyd eu plant.

Mae’r manteision eraill yn cynnwys y ffaith na fydd angen i blant a phobl ifanc fynd ag arian parod all fynd ar goll neu gael ei wario ar fwydydd eraill nad ydyn nhw mor iach y tu allan i’r ysgol.

Dywedodd Kirsty Williams, 


> “Mae ysgolion ledled Cymru yn cyflwyno systemau heb arian fel ffordd o ddod i ben â’r stigma mae rhai plant yn ei wynebu adeg prydau bwyd. Ar yr un pryd, mae iddynt fanteision o ran cyflymu’r gwasanaeth amser cinio, helpu i leihau achosion o ladrad a bwlio a chefnogi cynlluniau i arbed costau a gwella effeithlonrwydd.
> 
> Gall y systemau hyn hefyd fod yn gyfleus iawn i rieni fydd ddim mwyach yn gorfod chwilota am arian parod bob dydd ac mae hefyd yn ffordd arall i ni gefnogi arloesedd mewn ysgolion er mwyn gwella ansawdd bywyd i fyfyrwyr a staff fel ei gilydd.”

Yr ysgol gyntaf i ddefnyddio’r system ym Mhowys oedd Ysgol Uwchradd Crucywel a’r gobaith yw y bydd systemau tebyg yn cael eu cyflwyno ym mhob ysgol ledled y sir dros y ddwy flynedd nesaf.

Bydd y system hefyd yn rhoi gwybod i staff arlwyo am ofynion dietegol penodol mewn perthynas ag alergeddau.

Bydd y rhai heb fynediad at y fewnrwyd yn gallu defnyddio safleoedd Pay\-Point megis siopau papurau newydd, siopau garejys a siopau lleol eraill.

Cashless systems are gaining popularity in schools across Wales and allow parents to pay for their children’s meals and other services provided by schools, like school trips or borrowing library books, via an online account.

Using an online portal, parents and students are able to add credit to their account, top them up when necessary and then use a biometric system to pay for school meals. The online element also allows parents to monitor their children’s food choices.

Other benefits include children and young people not having to carry cash around, which might get lost or spent on less healthy food outside the school.

Kirsty Williams said, 


> “Schools all over Wales are introducing cashless systems as a way of ending the stigma some children face at meal times but they also have benefits in terms of speeding up the lunchtime service, helping to reduce instances of theft and bullying and supporting cost\-saving initiatives and improved efficiencies. 
> 
> “These systems can also be a great convenience for parents who won’t have to scramble around for cash every day and is another way we are supporting innovation in schools to improve the quality of life for students and staff.”

First to use the system in Powys was Crickhowell High and it is hoped similar systems will be rolled out to all schools in the county over the next two years.

The system will also inform catering staff of specific dietary requirements in relation to allergies. 

Those without internet access will be able to use local Pay\-Point outlets such as newsagents, garages convenience stores and other local retail outlets.
