Bydd ymgynghoriad ar gynigion i ddiwygio a chydgrynhoi fframwaith deddfwriaethol llywodraethu ysgolion yn cael ei lansio heddiw.

 Mae tua 23,000 o lywodraethwyr ysgol yng Nghymru sy'n rhoi o'u hamser, eu profiad a'u harbenigedd yn wirfoddol i helpu i wella safonau yn ein hysgolion. Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi'n fawr yr holl waith y mae'r llywodraethwyr yn ei wneud i wella deilliannau addysgol ein plant. 

 Fodd bynnag, mae'r model presennol ar gyfer llywodraethu ysgolion wedi bodoli ers 1996 a phrin iawn fu’r newidiadau a wnaed iddo. Nid oes gan gyrff llywodraethu ysgolion yr hyblygrwydd i addasu eu hunain i ddiwallu anghenion penodol eu hysgolion, ac nid oes raid ystyried y sgiliau a’r arbenigedd y gall unigolion eu cynnig wrth benodi llywodraethwyr. 

 Ym mis Mehefin eleni  amlinellais fy mwriad i ymgynghori ar ddiwygio'r fframwaith deddfwriaethol llywodraethu ysgolion mewn ffordd sy'n cadw'r model rhanddeiliaid presennol ond yn canolbwyntio mwy ar sgiliau. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys rhoi'r hyblygrwydd i gyrff llywodraethu wneud eu penderfyniadau eu hunain ynghylch eu cyfansoddiad a'u haelodaeth. 

 Soniais hefyd am rôl hollbwysig rhieni yn y gwaith o redeg ysgol yn effeithiol ac am fy mwriad i sicrhau eu bod yn parhau i fod â rôl ganolog yn y gwaith hwn.  

 Heddiw, rydym yn lansio ymgynghoriad ar ein cynigion ar gyfer diwygio a chydgrynhoi fframwaith rheoleiddio llywodraethu ysgolion. Mae'r ymgynghoriad, a fydd yn para 14 wythnos tan 17 Chwefror 2017, ar gael yn:   
https://ymgyngoriadau.llyw.cymru/ymgyngoriadau/diwygio\-chydgrynhoir\-fframwaith\-rheoleiddio\-llywodraethu\-ysgolion\-yng\-nghymru

 Rwyf am i gymaint o bobl ag sy'n bosibl ymateb i'r ymgynghoriad er mwyn i ni allu sicrhau proses gryfach a mwy effeithiol ar gyfer llywodraethu ysgolion a deilliannau addysgol gwell i'n plant.

A consultation on proposals to revise and consolidate the school governance legislative framework will be launched today.


There are around 23,000 school governors in Wales who give their time, experience and expertise voluntarily to help raise standards in our schools. I greatly value all the work governors do to improve educational outcomes for our children. 


However, the existing school governance model has been in place since 1996 with few changes. School governing bodies do not have the flexibility to adapt themselves to meet the specific needs of their schools, and no consideration need be given to appointing governors for the skills or expertise they can offer. 


In June this year  I set out my intention to consult on reforming the school governance legislative framework in a way which would retain the current stakeholder model while placing a stronger focus on skilled governing bodies. This included giving governing bodies the flexibility to make their own decisions about their constitution and membership. 


I also spoke of the crucial part played by parents in effective school governance and my intention that they continue to have a central role in the governance of our schools.  


Today we are launching a consultation on our proposals for the reform and consolidation of the school governance legislative framework. The consultation, which will run for 14 working weeks and end on 17 February 2017, is available at:  

https://consultations.gov.wales/consultations/consolidation\-and\-revision\-school\-governance\-regulatory\-framework\-wales


I am keen for as many people as possible to respond so that together we can have stronger, more effective school governance and improved educational outcomes for our children.
