Ym mis Medi 2018, cyhoeddais fod adroddiad 'Addysgu: Proffesiwn Gwerthfawr', gan y Panel Annibynnol dan arweiniad yr Athro Mick Waters, wedi cael ei gyhoeddi. Lluniwyd yr adroddiad yn dilyn adolygiad eang o gyflog ac amodau'r proffesiwn addysgu yng Nghymru, ac roedd yn cynnwys 37 o gynigion i gefnogi ein diwygiadau addysg ar ôl i gyflog ac amodau athrawon gael eu datganoli ym mis Medi 2018\.


Roedd un o'r prif argymhellion yn nodi y dylem sefydlu Comisiwn annibynnol i 'Ail\-greu Addysg' yng Nghymru.  


Rwyf wedi cymryd amser i feddwl am yr argymhelliad hwn ac mae'n bleser gennyf gyhoeddi bod Panel Arbenigol wedi cael ei benodi'n ddiweddar i gyflawni cam cyntaf y gwaith hwn.  Rôl aelodau'r Panel Arbenigol a fydd yn arwain 'Cam 1' yw ymchwilio ac asesu sut mae addysg yn gweithio i ddisgyblion, eu teuluoedd, athrawon a staff cymorth yng Nghymru, a nodi'r themâu allweddol y mae angen eu hystyried ymhellach. 


Rwyf wedi penodi'r Athro Mick Waters yn Gadeirydd y Panel Arbenigol a chaiff ei gynorthwyo gan:


* Joysy John, Cyfarwyddwr Addysg, Nesta
* Rhian Morgan Ellis, Pennaeth Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhondda
* Yr Athro y Fonesig Alison Peacock, Prif Weithredwr Coleg Addysgu Siartredig
* Dr Dafydd Trystan, Cofrestrydd Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol


Mae'r panel, a gyfarfu’n llawn am y tro cyntaf y bore yma, eisoes wedi dechrau ar y gwaith ymchwil cychwynnol ac wedi ymgysylltu â rhai o'n rhanddeiliaid allweddol, gan gynnwys undebau'r gweithlu addysg, er mwyn helpu i lywio'r gwaith pwysig hwn. Bydd barn, gwybodaeth broffesiynol ac arbenigedd y bobl hynny yn y sector addysg yng Nghymru yn cynnig persbectif gwerthfawr ar y materion hyn.


Bydd y panel yn parhau â'i waith drwy gydol yr haf cyn cyflwyno ei adroddiad i mi a'r Prif Weinidog cyn i'r Atlantic Rim Collaboratory (ARC) gyfarfod yng Nghymru ym mis Medi.  


Bydd cyfarfod ARC yn gyfle gwych i weithio gyda phartneriaid rhyngwladol allweddol i drafod y themâu sy'n dod i'r amlwg yn ôl y Panel Arbenigol, craffu arnynt a'u gwerthuso. 


Bydd hyn yn sail i'r broses ymchwil ac ymgynghori fanwl a gaiff ei chynnal ar Gam 2, pan gaiff Comisiwn llawn ei sefydlu'n ddiweddarach yn y flwyddyn.

Panel Arbenigol i Ail\-greu Addysg​​​​​​​







Translation:


 
In September 2018 I announced the publication of the report ‘Teaching: A Valued Profession*’,* from the Independent Panel led by Professor Mick Waters. The report followed an extensive review of pay and conditions for the teaching profession in Wales, and made 37 proposals to support our education reforms following the devolution of teachers’ pay and conditions from September 2018\.


One of the key recommendations stated that we should establish an independent Commission to Re\-Imagine Schooling in Wales. I have taken some time to think about this recommendation and am pleased to announce that an Expert Panel has recently been appointed to take forward the first phase of this work. The role of Expert Panel members leading ‘Phase 1’ is to research and assess how schooling works for pupils, their families, teachers and support staff in Wales, and to identify the key themes that need further consideration. 


I have appointed Professor Mick Waters as Chair of the Expert Panel; Professor Waters is supported by:


* Joysy John, Director of Education, Nesta
* Rhian Morgan Ellis, Head of Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhondda
* Dame Professor Alison Peacock, Chief Executive of the Chartered College of Teaching
* Dr Dafydd Trystan, Registrar of Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol


The panel, which met in full for the first time this morning, has already begun the initial research and has engaged with some of our key stakeholders, including the education workforce unions, to help inform this important work. The views, professional knowledge and expertise of those within the education sector here in Wales willbring a valuable perspective to these matters.


The panel will continue its work throughout the summer before submitting its report to me and the First Minister ahead of the meeting of the Atlantic Rim Collaboratory (ARC) that Wales is hosting in September.  


The ARC meeting will be an excellent opportunity for detailed discussion, scrutiny and evaluation with key international partners on those emerging themes identified by the Expert Panel. 


This will be the basis for the in\-depth research and consultation process which will be taken forward for Phase 2 of the process, when a full commission is established later in the year.
