English: I agree that it's very important to go on supporting teachers and headteachers as they work towards the implementation of the new curriculum, but I do think that an enormous amount of help of that sort has been provided since that research was carried out, as the Member knows, back in July of last year. The Minister introduced new flexibilities in the introduction of the new curriculum, and, at the same time, suspended a large number of other duties that schools have to undertake in order to create space for schools to develop their own implementation plans for the curriculum. In September we followed that up with a national framework - exactly the sort of measure that the Member was asking for - a national framework with additional guidance for the curriculum roll-out, a new national network established, a professional network. It held 60 sessions right across Wales in the autumn term, with more to follow - those sessions focusing on curriculum design and indeed on qualifications. Then, in December of last year, in our draft budget, we set out major investment over the whole three-year period specifically to support schools in implementation of the new curriculum, and followed that up with further national guidance published in January of this year. I think the Welsh Government, working with local authorities, regional consortiums, and with programme leaders as well as with Estyn are doing everything we can to make sure that the enthusiasm that is there for the new curriculum at the local school level is being supported by national frameworks, guidance that is nationally available, funding that is available nationally in all parts of Wales. And on Thursday of this week, as well as there being a round-table on the Conservative cost-of-living crisis, Jeremy Miles, as the education Minister, will be meeting all headteachers in Wales to discuss further ways in which their efforts can be supported.
Welsh: Rwy'n cytuno ei bod yn bwysig iawn mynd ati i gefnogi athrawon a phenaethiaid wrth iddyn nhw weithio tuag at weithredu'r cwricwlwm newydd, ond rwy'n credu bod llawer iawn o gymorth o'r math hwnnw wedi'i ddarparu ers i'r ymchwil honno gael ei chynnal, fel y gŵyr yr Aelod, yn ôl ym mis Gorffennaf y llynedd. Cyflwynodd y Gweinidog hyblygrwydd newydd wrth gyflwyno'r cwricwlwm newydd, ac, ar yr un pryd, ataliwyd nifer fawr o ddyletswyddau eraill y mae'n rhaid i ysgolion ymgymryd â nhw er mwyn creu lle i ysgolion ddatblygu eu cynlluniau gweithredu eu hunain ar gyfer y cwricwlwm. Ym mis Medi dilynwyd hynny gyda fframwaith cenedlaethol - yn union y math o fesur yr oedd yr Aelod yn gofyn amdano - fframwaith cenedlaethol gyda chanllawiau ychwanegol ar gyfer cyflwyno'r cwricwlwm, rhwydwaith cenedlaethol newydd wedi'i sefydlu, rhwydwaith proffesiynol. Cynhaliodd 60 o sesiynau ledled Cymru yn nhymor yr hydref, ac mae mwy i ddilyn - y sesiynau hynny'n canolbwyntio ar ddylunio'r cwricwlwm ac yn wir ar gymwysterau. Yna, ym mis Rhagfyr y llynedd, yn ein cyllideb ddrafft, gwnaethom nodi buddsoddiad sylweddol dros y cyfnod tair blynedd cyfan yn benodol i gefnogi ysgolion i weithredu'r cwricwlwm newydd, a dilyn hynny gyda chanllawiau cenedlaethol pellach a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Ionawr eleni. Rwy'n credu bod Llywodraeth Cymru, gan weithio gydag awdurdodau lleol, consortia rhanbarthol, a gydag arweinwyr rhaglenni yn ogystal ag Estyn yn gwneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i sicrhau bod y brwdfrydedd sydd ar gael ar gyfer y cwricwlwm newydd ar lefel ysgolion lleol yn cael ei gefnogi gan fframweithiau cenedlaethol, canllawiau sydd ar gael yn genedlaethol, cyllid sydd ar gael yn genedlaethol ym mhob rhan o Gymru. A dydd Iau yr wythnos hon, yn ogystal â chyfarfod bord gron ar argyfwng costau byw'r Ceidwadwyr, bydd Jeremy Miles, y Gweinidog addysg, yn cwrdd â phob pennaeth yng Nghymru i drafod ffyrdd eraill o gefnogi eu hymdrechion.
