In July 2020, the Welsh Government appointed Professor Charlotte Williams OBE to chair the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Communities, Contributions and Cynefin in the New Curriculum Working Group. The group published its final report in March 2021 and all recommendations were accepted by the Welsh Government.


Today’s report sets out the progress made in implementing the recommendations, with the aim of reinforcing the importance of teaching past and present experiences and contributions of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities across Wales.


The report highlights the actions the Welsh Government has taken over the last year, including:


* making the learning of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic histories mandatory in the new Curriculum, to be rolled out from September;
* introducing new incentives to attract more people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds into teaching;
* introducing new learning materials to support teachers to teach Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic histories and contributions within the new Curriculum;
* supporting Cardiff Metropolitan University and the BAME Education Wales Network to set up the Diversity and Anti\-Racism Professional Learning project, to provide a national model for professional learning for those working in education to develop an understanding and development of anti\-racist practice;
* launching the new Betty Campbell MBE Professional Teaching Award to promote the work schools are doing to teach the importance of inclusion.


The Welsh Government has committed to other actions within its Anti\-Racist Wales Action Plan.


Jeremy Miles, the Minister for Education and Welsh Language, said:



> “My vision is that through our new Curriculum all young people will understand how our unique history, language and culture, in all their diversity, have shaped the proud nation Wales is today.
> 
> 
> “I am pleased that we’ve made strong progress, with a number of the original report’s recommendations already implemented. However, we still have work to do to ensure the education system in Wales reflects the experiences of the whole of Wales, past and present.
> 
> 
> “I am hugely grateful for the ongoing support we have received from Professor Charlotte Williams OBE, who continues to play a pivotal role in supporting us to take forward this important work.”


Professor Charlotte Williams OBE said:



> “We are at a crucial time for education in Wales, with the new curriculum being rolled out in schools from September. The new mandatory elements of the curriculum, in particular the teaching of the experiences and contributions of people from minority backgrounds, will broaden the education of every child in Wales, so that it better reflects the experiences of the whole population of Wales.
> 
> 
> “Educating young people about the experiences and contributions of minority ethnic peoples in Wales, past and present, will assist in promoting lasting change aimed at tackling broader inequalities within society.
> 
> 
> “The Working Group will continue to advise government and take forward action to ensure the continuity and sustainability of this work, with a focus on its positive impact on wider society.”

Ym mis Gorffennaf 2020, penododd Llywodraeth Cymru yr Athro Charlotte Williams OBE i gadeirio Gweithgor Cymunedau, Cyfraniadau a Chynefin Pobl Ddu, Asiaidd ac Ethnig Leiafrifol yn y cwricwlwm newydd. Cyhoeddodd y gweithgor ei adroddiad terfynol ym mis Mawrth a derbyniwyd yr holl argymhellion gan Lywodraeth Cymru.


Mae adroddiad heddiw yn nodi’r cynnydd a wnaed o ran gweithredu’r argymhellion, gyda’r nod o atgyfnerthu pwysigrwydd addysgu am gyfraniadau a phrofiadau cymunedau pobl Ddu, Asiaidd ac ethnig leiafrifol ledled Cymru o’r gorffennol a’r presennol.


Mae’r adroddiad yn amlygu’r camau gweithredu y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi eu cymryd dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, gan gynnwys:


* gwneud dysgu hanes pobl Ddu, Asiaidd ac ethnig leiafrifol yn orfodol yn y Cwricwlwm newydd, sydd i’w gyflwyno o fis Medi ymlaen;
* cynnwys cynllun cymhelliant newydd i ddenu mwy o bobl o gefndir Du, Asiaidd ac ethnig leiafrifol i addysgu;
* cyflwyno deunyddiau dysgu newydd i gefnogi athrawon i addysgu hanes a chyfraniadau pobl Ddu, Asiaidd ac ethnig leiafrifol o fewn y Cwricwlwm newydd;
* cefnogi Prifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd a Rhwydwaith Addysg BAME Cymru i sefydlu’r prosiect Dysgu Proffesiynol ar Amrywiaeth a Gwrth\-Hiliaeth, i ddarparu model cenedlaethol ar gyfer dysgu proffesiynol i’r rheini sy’n gweithio yn y byd addysg i ddatblygu dealltwriaeth a datblygu arferion gwrth\-hiliol;
* lansio Gwobr Addysgu Proffesiynol newydd Betty Campbell MBE i hyrwyddo’r gwaith y mae ysgolion yn ei wneud i addysgu pwysigrwydd cynhwysiant.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i gamau gweithredu eraill o fewn ei Chynllun Gweithredu Cymru Wrth\-hiliol.


Dywedodd Jeremy Miles, Gweinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg:



> “Fy ngweledigaeth yw y bydd y Cwricwlwm newydd yn helpu pob person ifanc i ddeall sut mae ein hanes, iaith a diwylliant unigryw, yn eu holl amrywiaeth, wedi creu’r genedl falch a welir yng Nghymru heddiw.
> 
> 
> “Rwy’n falch o weld ein bod wedi symud ymlaen cryn dipyn, a bod nifer o argymhellion yr adroddiad gwreiddiol wedi eu rhoi ar waith. Fodd bynnag, mae mwy o waith i’w wneud er mwyn sicrhau bod y system addysg yng Nghymru yn adlewyrchu profiadau Cymru gyfan, o’r gorffennol a’r presennol.

> “Bydd addysgu pobl ifanc am brofiadau a chyfraniadau pobl ethnig leiafrifol yng Nghymru, o’r gorffennol a’r presennol, o gymorth i hyrwyddo gwir newid er mwyn ceisio herio anghydraddoldeb ehangach o fewn cymdeithas.
> 
> 
> “Bydd y Gweithgor yn parhau i gynghori’r llywodraeth a chymryd camau gweithredu er mwyn sicrhau parhad a chynaliadwyedd y gwaith hwn, gan ganolbwyntio ar ei effaith gadarnhaol ar gymdeithas yn ehangach.”
