The Welsh Government has identified Welsh as a priority subject, as the demand for Welsh\-medium school education is increasing and Welsh as a subject will be more prominent within the new school curriculum. The aim is to increase the number of Welsh A\-level students to more than a thousand by 2021, in order to increase the number who go on to study Welsh at university and train to become teachers.


There are also targets to increase the number of Welsh\-medium primary teachers by 200, secondary school teachers by 400 and Welsh Language teachers in secondary schools by 100, compared to 2016\. An increase in the number of learners taking Welsh at A\-level is likely to increase the number who go on to become Welsh teachers or teach through the medium of Welsh.


Specific actions will target secondary school pupils, parents/carers and teachers by promoting career opportunities for Welsh language A\-level students, creating positive experiences for students and improving support for both students and teachers. £145,000 of Welsh Government funding will be available in 2019\-20 to support the aims.


The Welsh Government in conjunction with schools, universities and organisations including the Urdd and Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol will all have a key role to play.


The activities will complement the *Iaith Athrawon Yfory* incentive scheme for trainee teachers who wish to teach Welsh or through the medium of Welsh. The scheme will once again be available for trainee teachers in September, to tie in with the aim in *Cymraeg 2050* to increase the number of teachers. Initial Teacher Education (ITE) students training to teach in Welsh this year can be eligible for a total incentive of up to £25,000\.


Kirsty Williams, the Education Minister, said:



> “Ensuring all learners can use Welsh when they leave school is a key long\-term commitment for the Welsh Government. A sufficient supply of Welsh\-medium and Welsh language teachers is instrumental if we are to achieve this.
> 
> 
> “We want to promote the benefits of studying Welsh at A\-Level and increase the support for both learners and teachers, helping us towards our aim of increasing the number of teachers in order to reach our long\-term goal of a million Welsh speakers by 2050\.”


Dr Ioan Matthew, Chief Executive of Coleg Cenedlaethol Cymru, said:



> "We’ve worked with Welsh departments at our universities for a number of years and recently placed a greater focus on promoting the subject in schools to improve progression from GCSEs to A\-levels. This is in addition to the efforts of individual universities to promote their Welsh\-medium provision.
> 
> 
> “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with a wide range of partners on this scheme to promote the benefits of studying Welsh and to ensure learners enjoy a positive experience of studying – both academically and socially. There is also a need to provide support for teachers in the Welsh language and to ensure the sustainability of the subject in our schools.
> 
> 
> “Those who study Welsh have so much to offer in the world of work, including the teaching profession. Through the scheme, all partners commit to raising awareness of the unique enjoyment, experience and opportunities the Welsh language brings."

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi nodi bod Cymraeg yn bwnc sydd â blaenoriaeth uchel iddo, gan fod y galw am addysg mewn ysgolion cyfrwng Cymraeg yn cynyddu ac y bydd Cymraeg fel pwnc yn fwy blaenllaw yn y cwricwlwm newydd. Y nod yw cynyddu nifer y myfyrwyr sy’n astudio’r Gymraeg fel pwnc Safon Uwch i fwy na mil erbyn 2021, er mwyn cynyddu nifer y myfyrwyr sy’n mynd ymlaen i astudio’r Gymraeg yn y brifysgol ac yn hyfforddi i fod yn athrawon.


Mae targedau hefyd i gael 200 o athrawon cynradd cyfrwng Cymraeg ychwanegol a 400 o athrawon ysgol uwchradd ychwanegol, ynghyd â 100 yn fwy o athrawon Cymraeg, o’i gymharu â 2016\. Bydd y cynnydd yn nifer y dysgwyr sy’n astudio Cymraeg Safon Uwch yn debygol o gynyddu’r nifer sydd yn mynd ymlaen i fod yn athrawon Cymraeg neu i ddysgu trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.


Bydd camau penodol yn targedu disgyblion ysgol uwchradd, rhieni/gofalwyr ac athrawon drwy hybu cyfleoedd gyrfa i fyfyrwyr Cymraeg Safon Uwch, gan greu profiadau cadarnhaol i fyfyrwyr a gwella’r cymorth i fyfyrwyr ac athrawon. Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhoi £145,000 yn 2019\-20 i gefnogi’r amcanion hyn.


Bydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ar y cyd ag ysgolion, colegau a sefydliadau fel yr Urdd a’r Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol rôl allweddol i’w chwarae.


Bydd y gweithgareddau’n cyd\-fynd â *Chynllun Cymhelliant Iaith Athrawon Yfory* ar gyfer athrawon dan hyfforddiant sy’n dymuno addysgu Cymraeg neu trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Bydd y cynllun ar gael, eleni eto, i athrawon dan hyfforddiant ym mis Medi, i ategu’r nod a geir yn *Cymraeg 2050*, sef cynyddu’r nifer o athrawon sy’n addysgu Cymraeg neu’n addysgu trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Eleni gall myfyrwyr *Addysg Gychwynnol Athrawon* sy’n hyfforddi i addysgu Cymraeg fod yn gymwys am gymhelliant o hyd at £25,000\.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Addysg, Kirsty Williams:



> “Mae sicrhau bod pob dysgwr yn gallu defnyddio’r Gymraeg erbyn cyrraedd yr oedran i adael ysgol yn ymrwymiad hirdymor, allweddol i Lywodraeth Cymru. Er mwyn gwireddu hyn, mae’n rhaid cael cyflenwad digonol o athrawon cyfrwng Cymraeg. 
> 
> 
> “Rydym eisiau hybu manteision astudio Cymraeg Safon Uwch a chynyddu’r gefnogaeth i ddysgwyr ac athrawon, gan ein helpu i gyflawni’r nod o gynyddu nifer yr athrawon er mwyn cyrraedd y targed o filiwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050\.”


Dywedodd Dr Ioan Matthews, Prif Weithredwr Coleg Cenedlaethol Cymru:



> “Mae’r Coleg Cymraeg wedi cydweithio gydag adrannau Cymraeg prifysgolion Cymru ers nifer o flynyddoedd ac yn ddiweddar wedi rhoi mwy o ffocws ar hyrwyddo’r pwnc mewn ysgolion er mwyn gwella’r dilyniant o TGAU i Safon Uwch. Mae hyn ar ben ymdrechion prifysgolion unigol i hyrwyddo eu darpariaeth nhw.
> 
> 
> “Rydym yn falch iawn o’r cyfle i gydweithio gydag ystod eang o bartneriaid ar y cynllun hwn i hyrwyddo manteision astudio’r Gymraeg ac i sicrhau bod profiad y dysgwyr o astudio’r maes yn gadarnhaol – ar lefel academaidd a chymdeithasol. Yn ogystal, mae angen darparu cefnogaeth i athrawon y Gymraeg ac i sicrhau cynaliadwyedd y pwnc yn ein hysgolion.
> 
> 
> “Mae gan y sawl sy’n astudio’r Gymraeg gymaint i’w gynnig yn y byd gwaith, gan gynnwys y proffesiwn addysgu. Drwy’r cynllun hwn, mae’r holl bartneriaid yn ymrwymo i godi ymwybyddiaeth o’r mwynhad, y profiad a’r cyfleoedd unigryw ddaw yn sgil astudio’r Gymraeg”.
