Mae hwn yn fater sy'n rhan o gylch gwaith fy nghyd-Aelod, y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, a fydd yn ateb cwestiynau yn awr. Ond rwy'n fwy na pharod i gael trafodaeth gyda hi ac ysgrifennu at yr Aelod.

This is a matter that falls within the remit of my colleague the Minister for Housing and Local Government, who is now going to answer questions. But I'll be very happy to have a discussion with her and write to the Member.

Do, eithaf lot, dwi'n credu - un o'r geeks yna, dwi'n credu. [ Chwerthin. ]

Yes, quite a lot, I believe - I'm one of those geeks, some might say. [ Laughter. ]

Rwy'n cytuno, Vikki, fod angen inni wneud mwy i integreiddio dulliau fel Seren mewn ysgolion yng Nghymru. Rwy'n gweithio gyda phrifysgolion i sicrhau eu bod yn gweithio ar gyflawni eu cenhadaeth ddinesig. Fel y dywedwch, mae hynny'n arbennig o bwysig mewn cymunedau nad oes ganddynt brifysgol ar garreg y drws o bosibl. Felly, er enghraifft, bydd y cynllun mentora ieithoedd tramor modern sydd wedi bod yn llwyddiannus iawn yn cael ei gynnig ar sail ddigidol i'r ysgolion lle nad yw'n bosibl inni sicrhau bod y graddedigion yn mynd i mewn i'r adeilad. Rwy'n falch o ddweud, mewn perthynas â'r dyddiad cau ar 27 Ionawr ar gyfer ceisiadau i ddechrau cyrsiau addysg uwch yn y flwyddyn academaidd hon, fod y cyfraddau ymgeisio ar gyfer pobl 18 oed yng Nghwm Cynon wedi cyrraedd 30 y cant, sef y gyfradd uchaf mewn mwy na degawd o'r data a gofnodwyd. Gobeithiaf weld cynnydd pellach yng Nghwm Cynon dros y blynyddoedd i ddod.

I agree, Vikki, that we need to do more to integrate approaches like Seren into schools in Wales. I'm working with universities to ensure that they work on the delivery of their civic mission. As you say, that's especially important in communities that perhaps don't have a university on their doorstep. So, for instance, the modern foreign language mentoring scheme that has proven very successful is now going to be offered on a digital basis to those schools where we can't physically get the graduate into the building. I am pleased to say that, at the 27 January deadline for applications to start higher education courses in this current academic year, the application rates for 18-year-olds in the Cynon Valley reached 30 per cent, and that's the highest rate in more than a decade of the data that is recorded. I hope to see further increases in the Cynon Valley in the years to come.

Ein nod yw datgloi a manteisio i'r eithaf ar botensial yr amgylchedd naturiol a threftadaeth ddiwylliannol gysylltiedig y Cymoedd er mwyn creu manteision cymdeithasol, economaidd ac amgylcheddol. Rwy'n siŵr y byddwch yn gwybod bod fy nghyd-Aelod, Dafydd Elis-Thomas, y Dirprwy Weinidog - mae'n ddrwg gennyf, Lee Waters, Dirprwy Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth - wedi cyhoeddi £2.4 miliwn ar gyfer prosiectau yr economi sylfaenol yng nghyllideb tasglu'r Cymoedd fis diwethaf, ac mae hynny, yn amlwg, yn cynnwys y sector twristiaeth. Fe sonioch chi am BikePark Wales, ac roeddwn eisiau dweud fy mod yn gwybod eu bod ar y ffordd i fod yn gyrchfan o'r radd flaenaf ar gyfer beicio mynydd, ac rwy'n croesawu'r buddsoddiad yn ei chyfleusterau yn fawr, buddsoddiad a oedd yn cynnwys £400,000 gan Croeso Cymru. Yn ogystal, mae sefydliadau fel y Cerddwyr a Cymoedd Gwyrdd wedi derbyn cyllid.

Our aim is to unlock and maximise the potential of the natural environment and the associated cultural heritage of the Valleys to generate social, economic and environmental benefits. I'm sure you'll be aware, just last month, my colleague Dafydd Elis-Thomas the Deputy Minister - sorry, Lee Waters, the Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport - announced £2.4 million for foundational economy projects in the Valleys taskforce budget, and that, obviously, includes the tourism sector. You mentioned BikePark Wales, and I just wanted to say that I know they are becoming a premier destination for mountain biking, and I very much welcome the investment in its facilities, and that did include £400,000 from Visit Wales. Also, organisations such as Ramblers Cymru and Green Valleys received funding.

Mae pwyllgor y Cabinet ar ogledd Cymru yn trafod ystod eang o bynciau pwysig. Roedd y cyfarfod cyntaf yn nhymor y Senedd hon yn cynnwys trafodaeth ar y pwysau a wynebir gan bartneriaid iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, yn cynnwys prif weithredwr y bwrdd iechyd, prif weithredwr GIG Cymru a phob arweinydd awdurdod lleol.

The Cabinet committee on north Wales discusses a wide range of important topics. The first meeting of this Senedd term included a discussion on the pressures faced by health and social care partners, involving the chief executive of the health board, chief executive of NHS Wales and all local authority leaders.
