English: You make a very good point, because often these are issues to do with aspiration and actually creating that spark within the individual to seek out these opportunities. The research shows us that people from a disadvantaged background are least likely to seek out these opportunities, so this is about raising aspiration. As I said earlier in answer to Janet Finch-Saunders, some of the strongest projects that Wales has seen in the Erasmus+ programme are, actually, school-based projects, and that's really, really important - that Erasmus is not just seen as a university programme. It's actually available for schools and FE colleges, and schools are engaging in that very well at the moment. But, as you know, one of the four purposes of our new curriculum is to create global citizens ready to play their part, here in their own communities but also in the world. So, hopefully, our new curriculum will, from the very earliest ages - from three years old - begin to teach children about their place in their community, but also the fact that they are a citizen of the world and there are opportunities for them out there. One of the reasons why the opportunities are limited to two to three weeks to eight weeks is because those are seen as more desirable. It's a big leap, isn't it, to take a year living away from home and moving to a country for a year, but the ability, maybe, to go for two to three weeks or up to eight weeks is a much more manageable proposition and an accessible one and an attractive one. We believe, following the research that has been undertaken to inform this policy initiative, that that's where it makes the biggest difference. We anticipate that between 400 and 500 students will be assisted by this pilot. It'll be operated by the British Council Wales, which already has systems in place for other opportunities. Hefin, if you had have met the very sparky 16 and 17-year-olds from schools across Wales who went to the Yale global scholars programme, you would've been in awe at their confidence, their aspiration and their ability to compete on a global stage with other young people and to hold their own. The confidence that that has given them to come back to Wales and to set their aspirations even higher for what they can achieve has been remarkable. If we can provide more of those opportunities for more of our students, I feel that at least part of my time in this job will have been very well spent.
Welsh: Rydych chi'n gwneud pwynt da iawn, oherwydd yn aml iawn materion yw'r rhain sy'n ymwneud ag uchelgais a thanio unigolion i chwilio am y cyfleoedd hyn. Mae'r ymchwil yn dangos mai pobl o gefndir difreintiedig sy'n lleiaf tebygol o chwilio am y cyfleoedd hyn, felly mae hyn yn ymwneud ag ennyn uchelgais. Fel y dywedais yn gynharach mewn ateb i Janet Finch-Saunders, mewn gwirionedd, prosiectau mewn ysgolion yw rhai o'r prosiectau cryfaf y mae Cymru wedi eu gweld yn rhaglen Erasmus+, mae hynny'n bwysig ofnadwy - nad yw Erasmus yn cael ei hystyried yn rhaglen i brifysgolion yn unig. Yn wir, mae ar gael i ysgolion a cholegau addysg bellach, ac mae ysgolion yn ymgysylltu â hynny'n dda iawn ar hyn o bryd. Ond, fel y gwyddoch, un o bedwar diben ein cwricwlwm newydd yw meithrin dinasyddion y byd sy'n barod i wneud eu rhan, yma yn eu cymunedau eu hunain, ond hefyd yn fyd-eang. Felly, gobeithio, bydd ein cwricwlwm newydd, o oedran cynnar iawn - o dair blwydd oed - yn dechrau dysgu plant am eu safle yn eu cymuned, ond hefyd am y ffaith eu bod yn ddinasyddion y byd a cheir cyfleoedd ar eu cyfer nhw allan yno. Un o'r rhesymau pam mae'r cyfleoedd yn gyfyngedig i ddwy wythnos i dair hyd wyth wythnos yw bod y rhain yn cael eu hystyried yn fwy deniadol. Cam mawr, onid e, yw treulio blwyddyn yn byw oddi cartref a symud i wlad arall am flwyddyn, ond mae'r cyfle i fynd am ddwy wythnos i dair neu hyd at wyth wythnos yn gynnig, efallai, sy'n llawer haws ymdopi ag ef, ac achub arno, ac yn un apelgar. Rydym ni'n credu, yn dilyn y gwaith ymchwil a gynhaliwyd i lywio'r fenter bolisi hon, mai yn y fan honno y bydd yn gwneud y gwahaniaeth mwyaf. Rydym yn rhagweld y bydd rhwng 400 a 500 o fyfyrwyr yn cael eu cynorthwyo gan y cynllun peilot hwn. Bydd yn cael ei weithredu gan British Council Cymru, sydd eisoes â systemau ar waith ar gyfer cyfleoedd eraill. Hefin, pe byddech chi wedi cwrdd â'r bobl ifanc 16 ac 17 oed bywiog iawn o ysgolion ledled Cymru a aeth i raglen ysgolheigion byd-eang Yale, byddech wedi rhyfeddu at eu hyder, eu huchelgais a'u gallu i gystadlu ar y llwyfan byd-eang â phobl ifanc eraill a dal eu tir. Mae'r hyder y mae hynny wedi ei roi iddyn nhw i ddychwelyd i Gymru a chodi eu gobeithion yn uwch hyd yn oed o ran yr hyn y gallan nhw ei gyflawni wedi bod yn neilltuol iawn. Pe byddem ni'n gallu cynnig rhagor o'r cyfleoedd hynny ar gyfer rhagor o'n myfyrwyr ni, teimlaf y byddai o leiaf ran o f'amser i yn y swydd hon wedi cael ei dreulio mewn ffordd fuddiol iawn.
