English: Well, yes, and I think that's something, again, where we have invested in apprenticeships, which have been the right pathway for many young people, and sometimes those apprenticeships also can lead to further and higher education beyond the time of that apprenticeship, and making those apprenticeships open and accessible as well as being funded is crucially important. We've got to make sure that our schools and colleges are supportive places that help to sustain the well-being of our learners. So, we come onto the important points that Lynne Neagle has raised about the emotional and mental health of our young people, which is paramount. We want to make sure they're fully supported through each stage of their education to be emotionally and mentally resilient, confident, and, above all, happy. That's why I'm pleased we as a Government are working with the health Minister and yourself as committee Chair on implementing the Government's response to the Children, Young People and Education Committee's inspiring committee report, 'Mind over matter'. I'm glad, also, to have the opportunity to join you in thanking Professor Ann John for her work, and I note the exchange you had with her at the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee, and that was back last year, on suicide prevention. I note that she did say a lot of recommendations from the thematic review were being followed up, and I think the timing of this debate is key, that we take stock of what is happening, and the work on 'Mind over matter', which had such strong support across this Chamber, has to be implemented in terms of the Government response. We know that ensuring mental health and well-being is central to the way schools work is of vital importance. Our children and young people need the right support in the right place at the right time to enable them to grow up in healthy and nurturing environments. This work will give them the best possible opportunity to fulfil their true potential. In terms of young people not in education, employment or training, yes we can be proud of the fact the number of 16 to 18-year-olds is at a record low as far as NEET status, but there is still so much to do, and we recognise that that's where the framework - the youth engagement and progression framework - is having a real impact. We've mentioned apprenticeships, but the percentage of year 11 school leavers has more than halved in terms of those not entering education, employment or training. So, I want to finish this debate by thanking Lynne Neagle for bringing forward a very important area for discussion, continuing, as she is, to press the case for being ambitious in how we widen access to and participation in education and training. This afternoon we were talking and I was being questioned about the well-being of future generations legislation, and we are talking about the generation - . We are looking after education and caring about today, but it is about the future, our future citizens. You talked about that we need to be powered by our citizens of the future as far as younger people are concerned, and there lessons to be learnt not just from England, the English experience - I know the Minister will want to look at the experience in Ontario. I know that she will want to meet you to follow up this debate, which has been very significant, and I know will be of great interest to our learners and educators in Wales.
Welsh: Wel, ie, ac rwy'n meddwl bod hynny'n rhywbeth, unwaith eto, lle'r ydym wedi buddsoddi mewn prentisiaethau, a dyna oedd y llwybr cywir i lawer o bobl ifanc, a weithiau gall y prentisiaethau hynny arwain at addysg bellach ac addysg uwch y tu hwnt i gyfnod y brentisiaeth, ac mae gwneud y prentisiaethau hynny'n agored ac yn hygyrch ac wedi'u hariannu yn hanfodol bwysig. Mae'n rhaid i ni sicrhau bod ein hysgolion a'n colegau yn lleoedd cefnogol sy'n helpu i gynnal lles ein dysgwyr. Felly, down at y pwyntiau pwysig y mae Lynne Neagle wedi'u codi ynglŷn ag iechyd emosiynol a meddyliol ein pobl ifanc, ac mae hynny'n hollbwysig. Rydym eisiau gwneud yn siŵr eu bod yn cael eu cefnogi'n llawn drwy bob cam o'u haddysg i fod yn gadarn yn emosiynol ac yn feddyliol, yn hyderus, ac yn anad dim, yn hapus. Dyna pam rwy'n falch ein bod ni fel Llywodraeth yn gweithio gyda'r Gweinidog iechyd a chithau fel Cadeirydd y pwyllgor ar weithredu ymateb y Llywodraeth i adroddiad pwyllgor ysbrydoledig y Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg, 'Cadernid meddwl'. Rwy'n falch, hefyd, o gael cyfle i ategu eich diolch i'r athro Ann John am ei gwaith, a nodaf y drafodaeth a gawsoch gyda hi yn y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon y llynedd ar atal hunanladdiad. Nodaf iddi ddweud bod llawer o argymhellion yn yr adolygiad thematig yn cael eu gweithredu, a chredaf fod amseriad y ddadl hon yn allweddol, ein bod yn pwyso a mesur yr hyn sy'n digwydd, a rhaid gweithredu'r gwaith ar 'Cadernid meddwl', a gafodd gefnogaeth mor gryf ar draws y Siambr hon, o ran ymateb y Llywodraeth. Gwyddom ei bod yn hanfodol bwysig sicrhau bod iechyd meddwl a lles yn ganolog i'r ffordd y mae ysgolion yn gweithio. Mae ein plant a'n pobl ifanc angen y cymorth iawn yn y lle iawn ar yr adeg iawn i'w galluogi i dyfu mewn amgylcheddau iach a meithringar. Bydd y gwaith hwn yn rhoi'r cyfle gorau posibl iddynt gyflawni eu gwir botensial. O ran pobl ifanc nad ydynt mewn addysg, cyflogaeth neu hyfforddiant, gallwn ymfalchïo yn y ffaith bod nifer y bobl ifanc rhwng 16 a 18 oed sydd â statws NEET ar eu lefel isaf erioed, ond mae cymaint i'w wneud o hyd, ac rydym yn cydnabod mai dyna lle mae'r fframwaith - y fframwaith ymgysylltu a datblygu ieuenctid - yn cael effaith go iawn. Rydym wedi sôn am brentisiaethau, ond mae canran y rhai sy'n gadael yr ysgol ym mlwyddyn 11 wedi mwy na haneru o ran y rhai nad ydynt yn mynd i addysg, cyflogaeth na hyfforddiant. Felly, rwyf am orffen y ddadl drwy ddiolch i Lynne Neagle am gyflwyno maes pwysig iawn i'w drafod, gan barhau, fel y mae'n gwneud, i ddadlau'r achos dros fod yn uchelgeisiol yn y modd yr ehangwn fynediad at addysg a hyfforddiant a chyfranogiad ynddynt. Y prynhawn yma roeddem yn siarad ac roeddwn yn cael fy holi am y ddeddfwriaeth llesiant cenedlaethau'r dyfodol, ac rydym yn sôn am y genhedlaeth - . Rydym yn gofalu am addysg ac yn gofalu am heddiw, ond mae'n ymwneud â'r dyfodol, ein dinasyddion yn y dyfodol. Fe sonioch chi fod angen inni gael ein pweru gan ddinasyddion y dyfodol o ran pobl iau, a bod gwersi i'w dysgu nid yn unig o Loegr, y profiad yn Lloegr - gwn y bydd y Gweinidog am edrych ar y profiad yn Ontario. Gwn y bydd hi eisiau eich cyfarfod i wneud gwaith dilynol ar y ddadl hon, sydd wedi bod yn arwyddocaol iawn, a gwn y bydd o ddiddordeb mawr i'n dysgwyr a'n haddysgwyr yng Nghymru.
