English: Over the last five years, one of the things that I am particularly proud of is the instigation of our e-sgol, a virtual school that allows children to be able to access teachers and opportunities from across the globe. Only a matter of weeks ago, students in Wales had the opportunity to receive lessons from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the world's leading university. It did not require them to travel to Cambridge, Massachusetts; they were able to do that sitting in their own homes. We're delivering increasing amounts of remote learning via our e-sgol model, a model that initially was set up to respond to some of the logistical challenges of delivering education in a rural setting, but now authorities such as Cardiff are showing real interest in how they can adopt that model for their own children and young people, to increase educational experiences here in our capital city. The Member is also right to talk about outdoor education, and that's why the Welsh Government's support for early years settings is not limited to buildings. We have seen during the last five years the beginnings of skogsmulle, which is a nursery setting that does not have an indoor space, where the entire day - well, the majority of the day - is spent learning outside. So, the range of funding programmes that we have here in Wales is perfectly able to capture schools in the widest possible definition. Can I just say to the Member, when she says that Welsh medium is not central to the twenty-first century plan, in recent weeks I've got used to this kind of spin coming from the Member, but can I just refer her to the statement? I've announced today, on top of the £48 million that has already been invested - that is 100 per cent of the capital costs borne by the Welsh Government to be able to assist local authorities to drive forward their Welsh in education plans - a further £30 million today. That is opposed to the usual intervention rates for the programme. It's just one way in which we're developing Welsh-medium education, and of course we are reliant, I should remind the Member, on the fact that the plans that come forward to the twenty-first century schools programme are plans from our local education authorities. We don't impose them on our partners; it is they that come forward with the plans and the priorities that they have. What we are able to do as a Welsh Government is to make those plans more affordable when it comes to Welsh-medium education. With regard to ventilation, well, ventilation is regulated by building regs. All approved schools must comply with our building regulation regime within Wales, and of course, since the pandemic, COVID guidance on ventilation has been issued too. With regard to outdoor education, it is important to recognise that those outdoor education providers, many of them have been able to be assisted by Government grants and interventions that have been available to all businesses during the pandemic. We recognise what a really challenging, challenging time it has been for those operators that are either private businesses, some are owned by local authorities - indeed, some of them in Wales are owned by local authorities that are not within Wales - and some of them are charitable organisations, but I recognise that all of them have been hit. But as businesses, they have been able to access the range of funds that have been made available. And indeed, for some of our most prominent providers, such as the Urdd, the Welsh Government has been able to intervene to support that organisation especially. But I continue to work with my colleague Ken Skates on these issues, because I recognise that once we are able to get children back outside and enjoying these activities, these outdoor education centres have a really, really valuable role to play in our recovery from the pandemic. Providing children with the opportunity to get to them is really important to me. That's why I hope that before the end of this term, Deputy Presiding Officer, the Government will be in a place to provide extra amounts of help and support.
Welsh: Dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf, un o'r pethau yr wyf yn arbennig o falch ohono yw cychwyn ein e-sgol, ysgol rithwir sy'n caniatáu i blant allu ymgysylltu ag athrawon a chyfleoedd o bob cwr o'r byd. Dim ond ychydig wythnosau'n ôl, cafodd myfyrwyr yng Nghymru gyfle i dderbyn gwersi gan Sefydliad Technoleg Massachusetts, prifysgol fwyaf blaenllaw'r byd. Doedd dim rhaid iddyn nhw deithio i Gaergrawnt, Massachusetts i wneud hynny; roeddent yn gallu gwneud hynny yn eistedd yn eu cartrefi eu hunain. Rydym yn darparu symiau cynyddol o ddysgu o bell drwy ein model e-sgol, model a sefydlwyd i ddechrau i ymateb i rai o'r heriau logistaidd o ddarparu addysg mewn lleoliad gwledig, ond erbyn hyn mae awdurdodau fel Caerdydd yn dangos diddordeb gwirioneddol yn y ffordd y gallant fabwysiadu'r model hwnnw ar gyfer eu plant a'u pobl ifanc eu hunain, er mwyn cynyddu profiadau addysgol yma yn ein prifddinas. Mae'r Aelod hefyd yn gywir i siarad am addysg awyr agored, a dyna pam nad yw cefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru i leoliadau blynyddoedd cynnar wedi'i chyfyngu i adeiladau. Rydym ni wedi gweld yn ystod y pum mlynedd diwethaf 'skogsmulle' yn egino, sy'n lleoliad meithrin heb le dan do, lle treulir y diwrnod cyfan - wel, y rhan fwyaf o'r dydd - yn dysgu y tu allan. Felly, mae'r ystod o raglenni ariannu sydd gennym ni yma yng Nghymru yn gwbl abl i gynnwys ysgolion yn y diffiniad ehangaf posibl. A gaf i ddweud wrth yr Aelod, pan ddywed nad yw addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg yn ganolog i gynllun yr unfed ganrif ar hugain, yn yr wythnosau diwethaf rwyf wedi arfer â'r math hwn o rethreg gan yr Aelod, ond a gaf i ei chyfeirio at y datganiad? Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi heddiw, ar ben y £48 miliwn sydd eisoes wedi'i fuddsoddi - hynny yw 100 y cant o'r costau cyfalaf a delir gan Lywodraeth Cymru i allu cynorthwyo awdurdodau lleol i ddatblygu eu cynlluniau Cymraeg mewn addysg - £30 miliwn arall heddiw. Mae hynny'n wahanol i'r cyfraddau ymyrryd arferol ar gyfer y rhaglen. Mae'n un ffordd yn unig yr ydym ni'n datblygu addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg, ac wrth gwrs rydym yn dibynnu, dylwn atgoffa'r Aelod, ar y ffaith bod y cynlluniau a gyflwynir i raglen ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain yn gynlluniau gan ein hawdurdodau addysg lleol. Nid ydym yn eu gorfodi ar ein partneriaid; nhw sy'n cyflwyno'r cynlluniau a'r blaenoriaethau sydd ganddynt. Yr hyn y gallwn ni, Lywodraeth Cymru, ei wneud yw peri i'r cynlluniau hynny fod yn fwy fforddiadwy o ran addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg. O ran awyru, wel, mae awyru'n cael ei reoleiddio gan reoliadau adeiladu. Rhaid i bob ysgol gymeradwy gydymffurfio â'n cyfundrefn rheoleiddio adeiladu yng Nghymru, ac wrth gwrs, ers y pandemig, mae canllawiau COVID ar awyru wedi'u cyhoeddi hefyd. O ran addysg awyr agored, mae'n bwysig cydnabod bod y darparwyr addysg awyr agored hynny, y mae llawer ohonyn nhw wedi gallu cael cymorth gan grantiau ac ymyriadau'r Llywodraeth sydd wedi bod ar gael i bob busnes yn ystod y pandemig. Rydym ni yn cydnabod ei bod hi'n gyfnod heriol eithriadol i'r gweithredwyr hynny sydd naill ai'n fusnesau preifat, mae rhai'n eiddo i awdurdodau lleol - yn wir, mae rhai ohonyn nhw yng Nghymru yn eiddo i awdurdodau lleol nad ydyn nhw yng Nghymru - ac mae rhai ohonyn nhw yn sefydliadau elusennol, ond rwy'n cydnabod bod pob un ohonyn nhw wedi'u heffeithio. Ond fel busnesau, maen nhw wedi gallu elwa ar yr ystod o gronfeydd sydd ar gael. Ac yn wir, i rai o'n darparwyr amlycaf, fel yr Urdd, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gallu ymyrryd i gefnogi'r sefydliad hwnnw yn arbennig. Ond rwy'n parhau i weithio gyda'm cyd-Aelod Ken Skates ar y materion hyn, oherwydd rwy'n cydnabod unwaith y gallwn ni gael plant yn ôl y tu allan a mwynhau'r gweithgareddau hyn, mae gan y canolfannau addysg awyr agored hyn swyddogaeth wirioneddol werthfawr yn ein hadferiad o'r pandemig. Mae rhoi cyfle i blant eu defnyddio yn bwysig iawn i mi. Dyna pam rwy'n gobeithio y bydd y Llywodraeth, cyn diwedd y tymor hwn, Dirprwy Lywydd, mewn sefyllfa i ddarparu symiau ychwanegol o gymorth a chefnogaeth.
