Heddiw, cafodd rheoliadau drafft, a fydd yn sefydlu rôl newydd i Gyngor Cyllido Addysg Uwch Cymru (CCAUC) mewn perthynas â’r fframwaith rheoleiddio ffioedd dysgu addysg uwch yng Nghymru o 2012/13, eu gosod gerbron y Cynulliad. Bydd Rheoliadau Deddf Addysg Uwch 2004 (Awdurdod Perthnasol) (Dynodi) (Cymru) 2011 yn cael eu gwneud drwy ddilyn gweithdrefn penderfyniad negyddol. 

Yn Cymru’n Un, y rhaglen ar gyfer llywodraethu Cymru, ymrwymodd Gweinidogion Cymru i ehangu cyfranogiad pob oedran mewn addysg bellach ac addysg uwch. Ar 30 Tachwedd 2010, cyhoeddais y byddai sefydliadau AU yn gallu codi ffioedd dysgu hyd at £9,000 y flwyddyn o 2012/13\. Roedd hynny ar yr amod y byddant yn gallu dangos eu bod wedi ymrwymo i ehangu mynediad ac i amcanion strategol eraill. Rhaid iddynt wneud hyn drwy gynlluniau ffioedd sydd wedi eu cymeradwyo gan CCAUC. 

Mae’r rheoliadau drafft yn dynodi CCAUC fel yr awdurdod perthnasol at ddibenion Adran 30 o Ddeddf Addysg Uwch 2004\. O 2012/13, bydd CCAUC yn cymeradwyo a gorfodi cynlluniau ffioedd sefydliadau sy’n dymuno codi ffioedd dysgu sy’n uwch na’r swm sylfaenol ar gyfer cyrsiau llawnamser i israddedigion, sef £4,000\.

Bydd cynnwys a pharhad cynlluniau ffioedd yn cael eu rhagnodi gan y Rheoliadau Ffioedd Myfyrwyr (Cynlluniau Wedi Eu Cymeradwyo) drafft, sydd eisoes wedi cael eu gosod gerbron y Cynulliad. Gyda hyn, bydd CCAUC yn cael canllawiau gan fy Adran i ar y broses cynllunio ffioedd.  

Mae fy swyddogion wedi ymgynghori â rhanddeiliaid allweddol ar y trefniadau i gyflawni hyn. Rwyf innau hefyd wedi ystyried yr adborth a dderbyniwyd ar bennu cwmpas y rheoliadau drafft.

Today draft regulations have been laid before the Assembly which will establish a new role for the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) in relation to the regulatory framework for higher education tuition fees in Wales from 2012/13\. The draft Higher Education Act 2004 (Relevant Authority) (Designation) (Wales) Regulations 2011 are to be made by negative resolution.


In the One Wales programme for government, Welsh Ministers made a commitment to widen participation for all ages in further and higher education. On 30 November 2010, I announced that HE institutions would be able to charge tuition fees up to £9,000 per annum from 2012/13, provided that they could demonstrate a commitment to widening access and other strategic objectives. They must do this through fee plans approved by HEFCW.


The draft regulations designate HEFCW as the relevant authority for the purposes of Section 30 of the Higher Education Act 2004\. From 2012/13, HEFCW will approve and enforce fee plans from those institutions which wish to charge tuition fees above the basic amount of £4,000 for full time undergraduate courses. 


The content and duration of fee plans are prescribed by the draft Student Fees (Approved) Plans Regulations, which have already been laid before the Assembly. Guidance on the fee planning process will be issued to HEFCW in due course by my Department.


My officials have undertaken consultation on the delivery arrangements with key stakeholders and I have taken account of the feedback received in determining the scope of the draft regulations.
