Gan annerch cynhadledd Sefydliad Arweinyddiaeth Busnes mewn Ysgolion (ISBL) yn Neuadd y Ddinas, Caerdydd, dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Addysg:

 
> “Mae angen i athrawon a phenaethiaid allu canolbwyntio ar y rôl y maen nhw wedi paratoi orau i’w chyflawni, y rôl y cawsant eu hyfforddi i’w chyflawni a’r rôl wnaeth eu hysgogi i fynd yn athrawon yn y lle cyntaf.
> 
> “Mae llawer o bethau yn gallu dod ar eu traws a bydd athrawon yn dweud wrtha i yn gyson am y pwysau sydd arnyn nhw oherwydd y llwyth gwaith.
> 
> “Ry’n ni wedi gwrando a dyna pam, y llynedd, y cyhoeddais y byddwn yn neilltuo swm o £642,000 ar gyfer y prosiect Rheolwyr Busnes Ysgolion.
> 
> “Ar y cyd ag arian cyfatebol gan Awdurdodau Lleol, mae hyn yn golygu bod dros £1\.2 miliwn ar gael ar gyfer cynlluniau peilot mewn un ardal ar ddeg.
> 
> “Nod y prosiect yw helpu penaethiaid i reoli eu llwyth gwaith a chanolbwyntio ar godi safonau a gwella ysgolion.
> 
> “Mae’r cynlluniau peilot yn cefnogi dros 100 o ysgolion ar hyn o bryd gyda chymorth penodol ar gyfer penaethiaid ac athrawon.
> 
> “Ry’n ni eisoes yn gweld canlyniadau calonogol gyda’r rheolwyr busnes yn rhyddhau amser penaethiaid drwy weithio ar feysydd megis Adnoddau Dynol, Cyllid, Archwilio, Rheoli Cyfleusterau a materion yn ymwneud â Chaffael.”

 Ychwanegodd yr Ysgrifennydd Addysg:

 
> “Mae lleihau’r llwyth gweinyddol ar benaethiaid yn un o’r mesurau ry’n ni’n eu cyflwyno i gryfhau’r proffesiwn.
> 
> “Mae athrawon hefyd yn dweud wrtha i am broblemau sy’n eu hwynebu wrth addysg dosbarthiadau mawr. Yn ystod tymor y Cynulliad hwn felly, byddwn yn sicrhau bod £35 miliwn ar gael i leihau maint dosbarthiadau babanod.
> 
> “Mae safonau proffesiynol newydd ar gyfer athrawon ac arweinyddiaeth hefyd wedi’u datblygu gyda’r proffesiwn ac ar gyfer y proffesiwn ac mae Academi Genedlaethol Arweinyddiaeth Addysgol yn cael ei sefydlu i gefnogi’r holl arweinwyr ym maes addysg drwy gydol eu gyrfa.
> 
> “Mae’r mesurau hyn, ar y cyd â’n hymdrechion i leihau’r llwyth gwaith, yn rhan allweddol o’n cenhadaeth genedlaethol i godi safonau, lleihau’r bwlch mewn cyrhaeddiad a chyflwyno system addysg sy’n destun balchder cenedlaethol a hyder ymhlith y cyhoedd.”

Speaking at the Institute of School Business Leadership (ISBL) conference in Cardiff’s City Hall, the Education Secretary said:

 
> “Teachers and headteachers need to be able to concentrate on the roles that they are best equipped to perform, roles that they trained for, roles that made them want to become teachers in the first place.
> 
> “There are many things that can get in the way of this and teachers frequently tell me about the pressures they face due to workload. 
> 
> “We have listened and that’s why, last year, I announced funding of £642,000 for the School Business Manager project.
> 
> “Coupled with match\-funding from Local Authorities this means that over £1\.2m is available for pilots in 11 areas.  
> “The aim of the project is to help headteachers manage their workload and focus on raising standards and school improvement.
> 
> “The pilots are currently supporting over 100 schools with dedicated support for headteachers and teachers.”
> 
> “We are already seeing encouraging results with business managers freeing up headteachers’ time by working on areas such as HR, Finance, Audit, Facilities Management and Procurement issues.”

 The Education Secretary added:.”

 
> “Reducing the administrative burden on headteachers is just one of the measures we’re taking to strengthen the profession.
> 
> “Teachers also tell me about the problems they face teaching large class sizes. Therefore, over this Assembly term, we will be making £36m available to reduce infant class sizes.
> 
> “New professional teacher and leadership standards have also been developed with the profession, for the profession and a National Academy for Educational Leadership is being set up to support all leaders in education at all stages of their careers.
> 
> “These measures, coupled with our efforts to reduce workload, form a key part of our national mission to raise standards, reduce the attainment gap and deliver an education system that is a source of national pride and public confidence.”
