English: The Member knows very well that we think there needs to be reform of the supply teacher system, because it was a programme for government commitment on which we were elected, and also it features in the agreement that we have with Plaid Cymru, to look again at the supply model in order to bring fair work and sustainability to the heart of it. That work has been progressing and will now progress further with Plaid Cymru. I'm very excited to see what we can deliver together in relation to that. In relation to the other challenges, she is right to say that it's not simply a funding question; it is an availability of supply staff question. That has been a significant challenge in a number of our schools. It's a variable picture across Wales, but it is absolutely a challenge in many schools. One of the sources of supply teachers each year is newly qualified teachers. This year, because of the fact that we have ensured that, I think, 400 newly qualified teachers have placements in schools, that has meant that those aren't available to the pool of potential supply teachers. But, what it has meant is that they are in fact teaching in our schools. So, I think it's a slightly more complex picture than perhaps her question presents. Certainly, where it is a funding challenge, and that is obviously still a question for schools, we have committed as a Government that schools are able to claim against the local government hardship fund until the need expires, if I can put it like that, so that they can be supported to access supply whenever they need it and can find it. And we have also been working with local education authorities to see what we can do in terms of longer term planning to give us a slightly better understanding of needs ahead, which might help as well in making sure there's enough supply teachers available. And in certain parts of Wales, incentives have been provided where there's a particular acute shortage to encourage people back into supply teaching, to see if we can address some of the needs through that route as well.
Welsh: Mae'r Aelod yn gwybod yn iawn ein bod yn credu bod angen diwygio'r system athrawon cyflenwi, oherwydd roedd yn ymrwymiad yn y rhaglen lywodraethu y cawsom ein hethol arni, a hefyd mae'n ymddangos yn y cytundeb sydd gennym gyda Phlaid Cymru, i edrych eto ar y model cyflenwi er mwyn dod â gwaith teg a chynaliadwyedd i mewn iddo. Mae'r gwaith hwnnw wedi bod yn mynd rhagddo a bydd yn mynd rhagddo ymhellach gyda Phlaid Cymru. Rwy'n gyffrous iawn i weld beth y gallwn ei gyflawni gyda'n gilydd mewn perthynas â hynny. Ar yr heriau eraill, mae hi'n gywir i ddweud nad cwestiwn ariannu yn unig ydyw; mae'n gwestiwn ynghylch argaeledd staff cyflenwi. Mae hynny wedi bod yn her sylweddol mewn nifer o'n hysgolion. Mae'r darlun yn amrywio ledled Cymru, ond mae'n sicr yn her mewn llawer o ysgolion. Un o'r ffynonellau o athrawon cyflenwi bob blwyddyn yw athrawon newydd gymhwyso. Eleni, oherwydd ein bod wedi sicrhau bod 400, rwy'n credu, o athrawon newydd gymhwyso wedi cael lleoliadau mewn ysgolion, mae hynny wedi golygu nad yw'r rheini ar gael i'r gronfa o athrawon cyflenwi posibl. Ond mae wedi golygu eu bod yn addysgu yn ein hysgolion. Felly, rwy'n credu ei fod yn ddarlun ychydig yn fwy cymhleth nag y mae ei chwestiwn yn ei awgrymu efallai. Yn sicr, lle mae'n her ariannu, ac mae hynny'n amlwg yn dal i fod yn gwestiwn i ysgolion, rydym wedi ymrwymo fel Llywodraeth i sicrhau y gall ysgolion hawlio o'r gronfa caledi llywodraeth leol hyd nes y daw'r angen i ben, os caf ei roi felly, fel y gellir eu cynorthwyo i gael mynediad at ddarpariaeth gyflenwi pan fydd ei hangen arnynt a'u bod yn gallu dod o hyd iddi. Ac rydym wedi bod yn gweithio gydag awdurdodau addysg lleol i weld beth y gallwn ei wneud gyda chynlluniau mwy hirdymor i roi dealltwriaeth ychydig yn well i ni o'r anghenion yn y dyfodol, a allai helpu hefyd i sicrhau bod digon o athrawon cyflenwi ar gael. Ac mewn rhai rhannau o Gymru, darparwyd cymhellion lle ceir prinder arbennig o ddifrifol i annog pobl yn ôl i addysg gyflenwi, i weld a allwn fynd i'r afael â rhai o'r anghenion drwy'r llwybr hwnnw hefyd.
