English: Cabinet Secretary, you recently wrote to schools in Islwyn to inform them of the Welsh Government's -
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, yn ddiweddar, fe ysgrifennoch chi at ysgolion yn Islwyn i roi gwybod iddynt ynglŷn â -
English: You need to ask the question on the order paper.
Welsh: Mae angen ichi ofyn y cwestiwn sydd ar y papur trefn.
English: That's the question that I have in front of me.
Welsh: Dyna'r cwestiwn sydd gennyf o fy mlaen.
English: That is indeed the question.
Welsh: Ie, dyna'r cwestiwn.
English: I got there.
Welsh: Fe lwyddais yn y pen draw.
English: Through the regional pupil development grant, we continue to invest unprecedented amounts of funding - in this case, £187 million over the next two years - to support schools across Wales to improve outcomes for our disadvantaged learners. Islwyn are benefiting from the regional allocation to the Education Achievement Service of more than £19 million per annum over this period.
Welsh: Drwy'r grant datblygu disgyblion rhanbarthol, rydym yn parhau i fuddsoddi symiau digynsail o arian - yn yr achos hwn, £187 miliwn dros y ddwy flynedd nesaf - i gynorthwyo ysgolion ledled Cymru i wella canlyniadau i'n dysgwyr dan anfantais. Mae Islwyn yn elwa o'r dyraniad rhanbarthol o dros £19 miliwn y flwyddyn i'r Gwasanaeth Cyflawni Addysg dros y cyfnod hwn.
English: Okay. Thank you. The pupil deprivation grant for the youngest learners - pupils aged three to four - has increased from £600 to £700, building on last year's doubling of financial support from £300 to £600 per learner in the early years, a stark contrast to the UK Tory decimation of support for poorer learners. Will the Cabinet Secretary outline, then, what difference the continued investment in the pupil deprivation grant will have in Islwyn schools, and the impact the Welsh Government believes it will have on disadvantaged learners in Islwyn communities?
Welsh: Iawn. Diolch. Mae'r grant amddifadedd disgyblion ar gyfer y dysgwyr ieuengaf - disgyblion tair i bedair oed - wedi cynyddu o £600 i £700, gan adeiladu ar ddyblu'r cymorth ariannol y llynedd o £300 i £600 y dysgwr yn y blynyddoedd cynnar, mewn gwrthgyferbyniad llwyr â Llywodraeth Dorïaidd y DU sy'n anrheithio cymorth ar gyfer dysgwyr tlotach. A wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet amlinellu, felly, pa wahaniaeth y bydd buddsoddiad parhaus yn y grant amddifadedd disgyblion yn ei wneud yn ysgolion Islwyn, a pha effaith y cred Llywodraeth Cymru y bydd hynny'n ei chael ar ddysgwyr dan anfantais yng nghymunedau Islwyn?
English: It's now called the pupil development grant, because we want to focus on the primary purpose of this grant, and that is to develop the opportunities for some of our most disadvantaged learners. What we do know, Rhianon, is that by targeting investing in our early years, with our very youngest learners, we can address the effects of deprivation on their educational outcomes even more quickly. I have huge confidence in the pupil development grant. If you talk to teachers, which I'm sure you do in your own constituency, they are quite clear about the difference that this money is making. We're increasingly seeing a number of our primary schools that have pupils who are entitled to a free school meal - they're performing at a level on a par with those better-off counterparts, and, indeed, in some primary schools, we even see children on free school meals outperforming their better-off counterparts.
Welsh: Fe'i gelwir bellach yn grant datblygu disgyblion, gan ein bod yn awyddus i ganolbwyntio ar brif ddiben y grant hwn, sef datblygu cyfleoedd i rai o'n dysgwyr mwyaf difreintiedig. Yr hyn a wyddom, Rhianon, drwy dargedu buddsoddiad yn ein blynyddoedd cynnar, gyda'n dysgwyr ieuengaf, yw y gallwn fynd i'r afael ag effeithiau amddifadedd ar eu canlyniadau addysgol hyd yn oed yn gynt. Mae gennyf gryn dipyn o hyder yn y grant datblygu disgyblion. Os siaradwch ag athrawon, ac rwy'n siŵr eich bod yn gwneud hynny yn eich etholaeth, maent yn gwbl ymwybodol o'r gwahaniaeth y mae'r arian hwn yn ei wneud. Rydym yn gweld mwy a mwy o ysgolion cynradd â disgyblion sydd â hawl i gael prydau ysgol am ddim - maent yn perfformio ar lefel gystal â'u cymheiriaid mwy cefnog, ac yn wir, mewn rhai ysgolion cynradd, rydym hyd yn oed yn gweld plant ar brydau ysgol am ddim yn perfformio'n well na'u cymheiriaid mwy cefnog.
English: Parents of children disadvantaged by poverty in Islwyn will have heard with dismay of the Welsh Government's decision to scrap the school uniform grant for poor families. Last week, the First Minister failed to give assurances regarding funding and eligibility of your planned replacement scheme. So, Cabinet Secretary, can you confirm that there'll be no reduction in the amount of funding provided for school uniforms under your new scheme and that all year 7 pupils in receipt of free school meals will continue to be eligible for the school uniform grant also?
Welsh: Bydd rhieni plant o dan anfantais oherwydd tlodi yn Islwyn wedi eu siomi wrth glywed am benderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru i gael gwared ar y grant gwisg ysgol i deuluoedd tlawd. Yr wythnos diwethaf, methodd y Prif Weinidog roi sicrwydd ynglŷn â chyllid a chymhwystra eich cynllun newydd arfaethedig. Felly, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, a allwch gadarnhau na fydd unrhyw ostyngiad yn y cyllid a ddarperir ar gyfer gwisgoedd ysgol o dan eich cynllun newydd ac y bydd pob disgybl blwyddyn 7 sy'n cael prydau ysgol am ddim yn parhau i fod yn gymwys ar gyfer y grant gwisg ysgol hefyd?
English: Thank you, Oscar, for that question. I am very keen to address the impact of disadvantage on children's education in a variety of ways, and for some families, assistance with school uniform is really important. But as we heard yesterday, in a question to the First Minister from Julie Morgan, there are other ways in which more deprived communities cannot take advantage of the full range of opportunities that may be available to them, and that can have a direct impact on that learner's capabilities to progress. That's why I and officials are currently working on a replacement grant for what was previously called the school uniform grant. It will include access to support for school uniforms, but I'm also wanting that grant to be able to provide greater flexibility for parents, for instance, who may not have the financial ability to allow their child to go on a school trip or to allow their child to participate in extra-curricular activity, which could affect their outcomes. So, yes, grants for uniforms will continue, but I'm looking to expand that grant to cover a wider variety of opportunities that, potentially, pupils from deprived backgrounds can't participate in.
Welsh: Diolch am eich cwestiwn, Oscar. Rwy'n awyddus iawn i fynd i'r afael ag effaith anfantais ar addysg plant mewn amrywiaeth o ffyrdd, ac i rai teuluoedd, mae cymorth gyda'r wisg ysgol yn bwysig iawn. Ond fel y clywsom ddoe, mewn cwestiwn i'r Prif Weinidog gan Julie Morgan, mae yna ffyrdd eraill lle na all cymunedau mwy difreintiedig fanteisio ar yr ystod lawn o gyfleoedd a allai fod ar gael iddynt, a gall hynny effeithio'n uniongyrchol ar allu'r dysgwr i wneud cynnydd. Dyna pam yr wyf fi a fy swyddogion yn gweithio ar grant newydd ar hyn o bryd i gymryd lle'r hyn a alwyd gynt yn grant gwisg ysgol. Bydd yn cynnwys mynediad at gymorth ar gyfer gwisgoedd ysgol, ond rwyf hefyd yn awyddus i sicrhau y gall y grant hwnnw roi mwy o hyblygrwydd i rieni, er enghraifft, sydd heb y gallu ariannol, efallai, i ganiatáu i'w plentyn fynd ar drip ysgol neu i ganiatáu i'w plentyn gymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau allgyrsiol, a allai effeithio ar eu canlyniadau. Felly, bydd grantiau ar gyfer gwisgoedd ysgol yn parhau, ond rwy'n bwriadu ymestyn y grant i ddarparu ar gyfer amrywiaeth ehangach o gyfleoedd na all disgyblion o gefndiroedd difreintiedig gymryd rhan ynddynt o bosibl.
English: Thank you, Mick. Education is just one of the means to address problem gambling. One recommendation in the Chief Medical Officer for Wales's report was to provide those responsible for the health and well-being of children and vulnerable people with further information on the potential harm that gambling can bring.
Welsh: Diolch, Mick. Mae addysg yn un ffordd o fynd i'r afael â gamblo cymhellol. Un o'r argymhellion yn adroddiad Prif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru oedd darparu rhagor o wybodaeth i bobl sy'n gyfrifol am iechyd a lles plant a phobl agored i niwed ynglŷn â'r niwed posibl y gall gamblo ei achosi.
English: Thank you for that answer. I wonder if you'd perhaps go a bit further. What we know, from the Gambling Commission, is that about 0.5 million pupils across England and Wales, between 11 and 15, are now gambling on a weekly basis. That would correlate to around 25,000 children in Wales between the ages of 11 and 15 gambling on a weekly basis, a number of those now being problem gamblers. In the light of the chief medical officer's report, I wonder if you will be meeting with the chief medical officer to actually develop, as part of the overall public health strategy, a strategy dealing with what is a growing gambling problem for the future amongst our children, who are working and living in an environment where, through things like sport, gambling is almost being normalised in our society and presents us, I think, with real challenges for the future.
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb. Tybed a allwch fynd ychydig ymhellach. Yr hyn a wyddom, gan y Comisiwn Hapchwarae, yw bod oddeutu 0.5 miliwn o ddisgyblion ledled Cymru a Lloegr, rhwng 11 a 15 oed, bellach yn gamblo ar sail wythnosol. Byddai hynny'n cyfateb i oddeutu 25,000 o blant yng Nghymru rhwng 11 a 15 yn gamblo ar sail wythnosol, gyda nifer ohonynt bellach yn gamblwyr cymhellol. Yng ngoleuni adroddiad y prif swyddog meddygol, tybed a fyddwch yn cyfarfod gyda'r prif swyddog meddygol i ddatblygu strategaeth, fel rhan o strategaeth iechyd y cyhoedd yn gyffredinol, i fynd i'r afael â phroblem gamblo gynyddol ar gyfer y dyfodol ymhlith ein plant, sy'n gweithio ac yn byw mewn amgylchedd lle mae gamblo, drwy bethau fel chwaraeon, bron â bod wedi'i normaleiddio yn ein cymdeithas ac yn creu heriau gwirioneddol inni ar gyfer y dyfodol rwy'n credu.
English: I share the concerns that have been expressed by Mick Antoniw and agree with him wholeheartedly that we need to take more action in our schools to address problem gambling. One of the concerns that has been raised with me is that, in the Welsh baccalaureate, there is a task that has been assigned to some pupils in Wales that asks them to imagine what it's like to win the lottery and then to spend that money. Now, it seems to me to be wholly inappropriate in terms of encouraging people to imagine that sort of task and it's at odds with the public health messages that we want to send as a nation to our young people. So, what action are you going to take to work with the WJEC, Qualifications Wales and others to make sure that all of our examinations, all of our textbooks, have gambling eradicated from them in terms of promoting it in this way and that the only message they see about gambling is one that is negative?
Welsh: Rhannaf y pryderon a fynegwyd gan Mick Antoniw ac rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr ag ef fod angen inni roi rhagor o gamau ar waith yn ein hysgolion i fynd i'r afael â gamblo cymhellol. Un o'r pryderon a gafodd ei ddwyn i fy sylw yw bod tasg Bagloriaeth Cymru wedi'i rhoi i rai disgyblion yng Nghymru yn gofyn iddynt ddychmygu sut deimlad yw ennill y loteri a gwario'r arian hwnnw. Nawr, ymddengys i mi fod hynny'n gwbl anaddas o ran annog pobl i ddychmygu tasg o'r fath, ac mae'n mynd yn groes i'r negeseuon ynglŷn ag iechyd y cyhoedd y dymunwn eu lledaenu fel cenedl i'n pobl ifanc. Felly, pa gamau y byddwch yn eu cymryd i weithio gyda CBAC, Cymwysterau Cymru ac eraill i sicrhau bod gamblo'n cael ei ddileu o'n holl arholiadau, ein holl werslyfrau, o ran ei hyrwyddo yn y ffordd hon a bod yr unig neges a welant ynglŷn â gamblo yn un negyddol?
English: Thank you, Darren, for that. I would expect all examination questions and Welsh baccalaureate tasks to be written in an appropriate way. Can I be absolutely clear that what we're talking about here is problem gambling and recognising that as a health issue, an addiction issue, just in the way that there are other addictions? I think we need to be slightly careful when we equate playing the lottery with problem gambling. I think we need to be slightly careful about that, but I would expect all questions in all examination papers to be written in a way that is appropriate for children reading them and using those resources.
Welsh: Diolch am hynny, Darren. Buaswn yn disgwyl i bob cwestiwn arholiad a holl dasgau Bagloriaeth Cymru gael eu hysgrifennu mewn modd addas. A gaf fi ddweud yn gwbl glir mai'r hyn rydym yn sôn amdano yma yw gamblo cymhellol a chydnabod hynny fel mater iechyd, mater o ddibyniaeth, yn union fel y mae modd bod yn gaeth i bethau eraill? Credaf fod angen inni fod yn weddol ofalus wrth gymharu chwarae'r loteri â gamblo cymhellol. Rwy'n credu bod angen inni fod yn weddol ofalus ynglŷn â hynny, ond buaswn yn disgwyl i bob cwestiwn ym mhob papur arholiad fod wedi'u hysgrifennu mewn ffordd sy'n addas i'r plant sy'n eu darllen ac sy'n defnyddio'r adnoddau hynny.
English: Further to those comments - and I agree with all the comments thus far - Mick Antoniw would know that a recent University of South Wales study showed that a quarter of gamblers do not consider themselves to be gamblers, and that applies to children as well. So, pushing further on this issue of education in schools, obviously my colleague Bethan Sayed previously has raised the principles of financial education, which would incorporate this sort of education, but really we need to be highlighting this strongly, as has been mentioned because of the insidious nature of the gambling industry inculcating itself into every form of life and trying to normalise the issue. It is not normal to be a gambler, and I'd value your support on the issue.
Welsh: Yn ychwanegol at y sylwadau hynny - ac rwy'n cytuno â'r holl sylwadau hyd yn hyn - byddai Mick Antoniw yn gwybod bod astudiaeth ddiweddar gan Brifysgol De Cymru wedi dangos nad yw un o bob pedwar gamblwr yn ystyried eu hunain yn gamblwyr, ac mae hynny'n cynnwys plant hefyd. Felly, gan bwyso ymhellach ar y mater hwn o addysg mewn ysgolion, yn amlwg mae fy nghyd-Aelod Bethan Sayed eisoes wedi crybwyll egwyddorion addysg ariannol a fyddai'n cynnwys addysg o'r fath, ond mae angen inni bwysleisio hyn yn gryf fel y crybwyllwyd eisoes, oherwydd natur lechwraidd y diwydiant gamblo yn gwthio'i hun i bob agwedd ar fywyd ac yn ceisio normaleiddio'r peth. Nid yw bod yn gamblwr yn normal, a buaswn yn gwerthfawrogi eich cefnogaeth ar y mater.
English: Dai, you're absolutely right: we need to look at these issues beyond simply the health and well-being AoLE. Financial education will be a key element within the new curriculum, offering robust provision to help learners develop their financial skills, including the management of their money. I was very fortunate recently to attend a pioneer school in your own region, Olchfa, a year 8 maths class, where they were indeed talking about the tax system and how you would manage your money and work out your tax liabilities. So, we already see on the ground lessons in this regard happening in our schools at the moment and, of course, as we move towards a statutory take-up of the curriculum, I would expect to see more of that going on. It was absolutely fantastic to see relatively young learners in their secondary education career having the ability to develop their numeracy skills but at the same time learning and understanding about how tax works and actually having a very moral debate about whether people should be taxed more or less.
Welsh: Dai, rydych yn llygad eich lle: mae angen inni ystyried y materion hyn y tu hwnt i faes dysgu a phrofiad iechyd a lles yn unig. Bydd addysg ariannol yn elfen allweddol yn y cwricwlwm newydd, gan gynnig darpariaeth gref i gynorthwyo dysgwyr i ddatblygu eu sgiliau ariannol, gan gynnwys rheoli eu harian. Bûm yn ddigon ffodus yn ddiweddar i fynychu ysgol arloesi yn eich rhanbarth, ysgol Olchfa, dosbarth mathemateg blwyddyn 8, lle roeddent yn sôn am y system dreth a sut y byddech yn rheoli eich arian ac yn cyfrifo eich dyledion treth. Felly, rydym eisoes yn gweld gwersi yn hyn o beth ar lawr gwlad yn ein hysgolion ar hyn o bryd, ac wrth gwrs, wrth inni agosáu at ddefnydd statudol o'r cwricwlwm, buaswn yn disgwyl gweld mwy o hynny. Roedd yn hollol wych gweld dysgwyr cymharol ifanc yn eu gyrfa addysg uwchradd yn meddu ar y gallu i ddatblygu eu sgiliau rhifedd a dysgu a deall ar yr un pryd sut y mae treth yn gweithio a chael trafodaeth foesol iawn mewn gwirionedd ynglŷn ag a ddylid codi mwy neu lai o dreth ar bobl.
English: Thank you, Julie. Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an up - . Oh, sorry, that's your bit. [ Laughter.] I am the Cabinet Secretary. [ Laughter.] For a minute, I forgot myself and I was back over there, Presiding Officer. I've just done a Rhianon Passmore. [ Interruption.] You never know. You never know. Julie, I am delighted to say - [ Laughter.] - that band A of the twenty-first century schools and education programme will see an investment of over £164 million in schools in Cardiff over the five years ending in 2019 - which might postdate when I'm going to end here. [ Laughter.] A funding envelope of a further £284 million has been approved in principle for the band B programme, which will start in 2019.
Welsh: Diolch, Julie. A wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet roi'r wybodaeth - . O, mae'n ddrwg gennyf, eich llinell chi yw honno. [ Chwerthin.] Fi yw Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. [ Chwerthin.] Am funud, anghofiais pwy oeddwn ac roeddwn yn ôl draw yn y fan yna, Lywydd. Rwyf newydd wneud fel Rhianon Passmore. [ Torri ar draws.] Wyddoch chi byth. Wyddoch chi byth. Julie, rwy'n falch o ddweud - [ Chwerthin.] - y bydd band A o raglen addysg ac ysgolion unfed ganrif ar hugain yn cynnwys buddsoddiad o dros £164 miliwn mewn ysgolion yng Nghaerdydd dros y pum mlynedd a ddaw i ben yn 2019 - a allai fod ar ôl i mi ddod i ben yn y lle hwn, o bosibl. [ Chwerthin.] Mae amlen ariannu o £284 miliwn ychwanegol wedi'i chymeradwyo mewn egwyddor ar gyfer rhaglen band B, a fydd yn dechrau yn 2019.
English: I thank the Cabinet Secretary for that response. I was very pleased to visit last week the new site for the schools of Gabalfa primary and Ysgol Glan Ceubal in my constituency, Cardiff North, for the topping out ceremony last week. This is one English-medium primary and one Welsh-medium primary, which are co-located, and the building's been designed in such a way that there are joint facilities for lunchtimes and playtimes. I wondered whether there were any other plans for schools in that sort of way throughout Wales, where the Welsh language school and the English language school are co-located on the same site.
Welsh: Diolch i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet am ei hymateb. Roeddwn yn falch iawn o ymweld yr wythnos diwethaf â'r safle newydd ar gyfer ysgol gynradd Gabalfa ac Ysgol Glan Ceubal yn fy etholaeth i, Gogledd Caerdydd, ar gyfer seremoni gosod y garreg gopa yr wythnos diwethaf. Dyma ysgol gynradd cyfrwng Saesneg ac ysgol gynradd cyfrwng Cymraeg, sydd wedi'u cydleoli, ac mae'r adeilad wedi'i ddylunio yn y fath fodd fel bod ganddo gyfleusterau cyfunol ar gyfer amser cinio ac amser chwarae. Tybed a oedd yna unrhyw gynlluniau eraill ar gyfer ysgolion o'r fath ledled Cymru, lle lleolir yr ysgol Gymraeg a'r ysgol Saesneg ar yr un safle.
English: I am sure that there are other examples where we have co-locations of facilities like that. What the twenty-first century schools programme is allowing us to do is find new and innovative ways of providing school places, whether that be in a shared location, whether we see the growing number of through schools, where children are educated on the same campus from the age of three right the way through, in some cases, to the age of 18. This unprecedented investment in school buildings, the largest since the 1960s, is giving us the opportunity to provide local authorities the options of a wide variety of ways of providing educational facilities. And one of the ways in which we judge cases that come in, as I said earlier to Simon Thomas, is also on community access to those facilities and, increasingly, as we work together across Government on the childcare offer, the ability to see whether we can combine education and childcare facilities in our new builds also.
Welsh: Rwy'n siŵr fod enghreifftiau eraill i'w cael lle mae gennym gyfleusterau wedi'u cydleoli fel hynny. Yr hyn y mae rhaglen ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain yn ein caniatáu i wneud yw darganfod ffyrdd newydd ac arloesol o ddarparu lleoedd mewn ysgolion, boed mewn lleoliadau a rennir, neu'r nifer gynyddol o ysgolion pob oed, lle yr addysgir plant ar yr un campws o'r adeg pan fyddant yn dair oed yr holl ffordd hyd at 18 oed mewn rhai achosion. Mae'r buddsoddiad digynsail hwn mewn adeiladau ysgolion, y mwyaf ers y 1960au, yn rhoi cyfle inni ddarparu amrywiaeth eang o opsiynau i awdurdodau lleol o ran ffyrdd o ddarparu cyfleusterau addysgol. Ac un o'r ffyrdd rydym yn ystyried achosion a gyflwynir, fel y dywedais yn gynharach wrth Simon Thomas, yw mynediad cymunedol at y cyfleusterau hynny, ac i raddau cynyddol, wrth inni weithio gyda'n gilydd ar draws y Llywodraeth ar y cynnig gofal plant, y gallu i weld a allwn gyfuno cyfleusterau addysg a gofal plant yn ein hadeiladu newydd hefyd.
English: Minister, twenty-first century schools has offered the opportunity for local authorities to work with Government in redeveloping their school estate. You may or may not be familiar with the closure plans for a small rural school in the Vale of Glamorgan, Llancarfan school, and relocating to a new site in the village of Rhoose. One of the concerns -
Welsh: Weinidog, mae ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain wedi cynnig cyfle i awdurdodau lleol weithio gyda'r Llywodraeth ar ailddatblygu eu hystâd ysgolion. Efallai eich bod yn ymwybodol o'r cynlluniau i gau ysgol fach wledig ym Mro Morgannwg, ysgol Llancarfan, a symud i safle newydd ym mhentref y Rhws. Un o'r pryderon -
English: This is a question about Cardiff.
Welsh: Cwestiwn am Gaerdydd yw hwn.
English: South Wales Central area - twenty-first century schools. I thought Cardiff was part of South Wales Central. Sorry, Presiding Officer.
Welsh: Ardal Canol De Cymru - ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain. Roeddwn o dan yr argraff fod Caerdydd yn rhan o Ganol De Cymru. Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, Lywydd.
English: It is part of South Wales Central.
Welsh: Mae'n rhan o Ganol De Cymru.
English: The question is about Cardiff.
Welsh: Mae'r cwestiwn yn ymwneud â Chaerdydd.
English: I withdraw the question, then.
Welsh: Tynnaf y cwestiwn yn ôl, felly.
English: Thank you, Dawn. The gross schools expenditure in Merthyr last year was budgeted to be over £50 million. That's 3 per cent higher than in 2016-2017. Merthyr Tydfil delegated 87 per cent of the funding to schools, giving a delegated budget of over £43 million. That's a 4 per cent increase on the previous year, and I'm pleased to say that's the highest percentage increase that we saw in any local authority in Wales.
Welsh: Diolch, Dawn. Cyllidebwyd y byddai gwariant gros ysgolion ym Merthyr Tudful y llynedd dros £50 miliwn. Mae hynny 3 y cant yn uwch nag yn 2016-2017. Dirprwyodd Merthyr Tudful 87 y cant o'r cyllid i ysgolion, gan roi cyllideb ddirprwyedig o dros £43 miliwn. Dyna gynnydd o 4 y cant o gymharu â'r flwyddyn flaenorol, ac rwy'n falch o ddweud mai dyna oedd y cynnydd canrannol mwyaf a welsom mewn unrhyw awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru.
