English: Thank you, Minister. May I begin by expressing my disappointment that we are discussing both of these reports together? Five minutes to scrutinise both. There isn't sufficient time to scrutinise your success in relation to your activities. We can't go through the world of work, the field of education and the community, et cetera, and there's not enough time to look at the functions and the responsibilities of the commissioner and to work out whether he has sufficient resources and work out why he's had to spend more on legal and professional fees than expected. And it is important, because, for me, this suggests that the complaints procedure is still overly complex. Many of them have not actually been proven, as we see. It reduces the amount of money available for the other work that the commissioner should do, namely to assist to create more Welsh speakers and increase language usage. May I welcome the code of practice that was published in February, which supports institutions to understand how to conform to the standards? Of course, there should be more standards to conform with by now. We said this last year as well, and the lack of enthusiasm for standards was most evident pre COVID. We can't blame the virus for that. But I have more enthusiasm for seeing an improvement on the work of promoting and persuading others, to attain the target of a million speakers. And as the Welsh Government is determined to bring more responsibilities for this back in house, we'll see how much time the Minister will have to accomplish this, considering her other new challenging and important responsibilities. I'm very keen to see what will happen to the conclusions of this work with the planning authorities, because it appears to me that the impact on the Welsh language is just interpreted as a tick box, rather than thinking for opportunities under section 106 agreements, et cetera, as a way of increasing the demand for Welsh-medium education. I'm very pleased to see the commissioner presenting the case for a code of practice under the new curriculum. Mainstreaming the Welsh language in English-medium schools won't be easy, but this is the best way forward, in my view, to create more bilingual generations to come. It is much better than the very awkward proposals on trying to change two-stream schools into bilingual schools. That is not a good way of proceeding. In addition to that, we're still having difficulty in recruiting teachers, as the Minister said, especially on secondary level. Therefore, I encourage Welsh Government to consider the continuum code of practice seriously, and also to focus on early years provision, to make it easier to choose Welsh with confidence. Could you tell us, Minister, whether COVID has interrupted your plans to have 40 new nurseries by 2021, and how you are going to catch up? And could you tell me where the additional 800 children in nurseries across Wales - are these children scattered across the whole of Wales, or are they in English-medium placements? And I would ask the same about the increase in the percentage of children that move into Welsh-medium primary schools. Can I ask why you have actual figures for one, and then a percentage for the other? That's not at all transparent. Although I believe that the Camau programme is a wonderful idea, can you tell me whether every Flying Start setting has the appropriate staffing for Welsh language transmission? As I said, there are too many questions for me to cover today, but I wish to turn to the GCSE figures. It's a moderate success, and I welcome any kind of success, but perhaps seeing the grades of pupils would help me to understand something else - whether we should welcome this further, or whether there's a problem with attainment in this mandatory subject. And yes, it should be mandatory, because we still need to demonstrate that this remains a valuable qualification. We also need to reverse the fall in the demand for the A-level if we have any hope of getting the teachers we need. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. A gaf i ddechrau trwy fynegi fy siom ein bod ni'n trafod y ddau adroddiad hyn gyda'i gilydd? Pum munud i graffu ar y ddau. Does dim digon o amser i graffu ar eich llwyddiant i gymharu â'ch gweithgaredd. Does dim amser i fynd drwy'r byd gwaith, y gymuned, y maes addysg, ac yn y blaen, a does dim digon o amser i edrych ar swyddogaethau a chyfrifon y comisiynydd, i archwilio a oes ganddo ddigon o adnoddau, i archwilio ymhellach pam ei fod wedi gorfod gwario mwy ar ffioedd cyfreithiol a phroffesiynol na'r disgwyl. Ac mae yn bwysig, achos i mi, mae hyn yn awgrymu bod y broses gwynion yn dal yn rhy gymhleth ar gyfer rhai cwynion. Mae llawer ohonynt heb eu profi, fel y gwelwn. Ac mae'n lleihau'r arian sydd ar gael ar gyfer y gwaith arall y mae'n rhaid i'r comisiynydd ei wneud, sef helpu i greu mwy o siaradwyr Cymraeg a mwy o ddefnydd o'r Gymraeg. Gaf i groesawu'r cod ymarfer a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Chwefror, sy'n helpu sefydliadau i ddeall sut i gydymffurfio â safonau? Dylai, wrth gwrs, fod mwy o safonau i gydymffurfio â nhw erbyn hyn. Dywedasom yr un peth llynedd, ac roedd diffyg brwdfrydedd dros safonau yn amlwg iawn cyn COVID. Ni allwn feio'r feirws am hyn. Ond mae gen i, hefyd, fwy o frwdfrydedd dros weld gwelliant ar y gwaith ar hyrwyddo a pherswadio a llwybrau eraill i gyflawni'r targed o filiwn o siaradwyr. Gan fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn benderfynol o ddod â mwy o gyfrifoldeb am hyn yn ôl yn fewnol, gawn ni weld faint o amser bydd gan y Gweinidog i gyflawni ar hyn, o ystyried ei chyfrifoldebau heriol a phwysig newydd. Rwy'n awyddus iawn i weld beth sy'n digwydd i ganfyddiadau arolwg y comisiynydd o awdurdodau cynllunio, achos, mae'n debyg i fi, bod gorfodaeth y sylw dyledus ar effaith y Gymraeg yn cael ei ddehongli fel blwch ticio yn hytrach na meddwl am gyfleoedd cytundebau - section 106, er enghraifft - fel ffordd o gynyddu'r galw am addysg Gymraeg. Ac rwy'n falch iawn o weld y comisiynydd yn cyflwyno'r achos dros god ymarfer o dan y cwricwlwm newydd. Ni fydd prif-ffrydio'r Gymraeg mewn ysgolion cyfrwng Saesneg yn hawdd, ond dyma'r ffordd orau ymlaen, yn fy marn i, i greu cenedlaethau mwy dwyieithog. Mae'n llawer gwell na chynigion lletchwith ar drosi ysgolion dwy ffrwd yn ysgolion cyfrwng Cymraeg, pan nad oes mynediad i ddewis arall am ddegau o filltiroedd. Nid yw rhannu cymunedau a chwarae gwleidyddiaeth hunaniaeth yn dda i'r iaith. Ar ben hynny, rydym yn dal i gael trafferth recriwtio athrawon, fel y dywedoch, yn enwedig ar y lefel uwchradd. Felly, anogaf Llywodraeth Cymru i ystyried cod ymarfer continwwm o ddifri, a chadw ffocws ar ddarpariaeth blynyddoedd cynnar, i'w gwneud hi'n hawdd i ddewis Cymraeg, ac rwy'n golygu dewis er hwylustod a gyda hyder. Efallai y gallwch chi ddweud wrthym ni, Weinidog, a yw COVID wedi torri ar draws eich cynlluniau i gael 40 o feithrinfeydd newydd erbyn 2021, a sut y byddwch chi'n dal lan. A allwch hefyd ddweud a yw'r 800 o blant ychwanegol mewn meithrinfeydd cyfrwng Cymraeg wedi eu gwasgaru ledled Cymru, neu ydyn nhw mewn ardaloedd Saesneg eu hiaith neu Gymraeg eu hiaith yn bennaf? Neu dim ond yn adlewyrchiad o'r cynnydd yn niferoedd y boblogaeth ar gyfer y grŵp oedran hwn yw hyn? A gofynnaf yr un peth am y cynnydd yng nghanran y plant sy'n symud i ysgolion cynradd Cymraeg. A allaf i ofyn hefyd: pam niferoedd ar gyfer un, a chanrannau ar gyfer y llall? Dydy hynny ddim yn dryloyw o gwbl. Ac er fy mod yn credu bod rhaglen Camau yn syniad gwych, a allwch ddweud a oes gan bob lleoliad Dechrau'n Deg erbyn hyn un person, o leiaf, â sgiliau trosglwyddo'r iaith Gymraeg ar lefel briodol? Jest i ddod i ben, mae yna, fel y dywedais i, ormod o gwestiynau i mi eu cyfro heddiw, ond rwyf eisiau troi at y ffigurau TGAU. Mae'n gynnydd cymedrol, ac rwy'n croesawu unrhyw gynnydd, fel rydych chi'n gwybod, ond efallai y byddai gweld graddau disgyblion wedi ein helpu i ddeall rhywbeth arall - a ddylid eu croesawu ymhellach, neu a oes unrhyw broblem gyda chyrhaeddiad yn y pwnc gorfodol hwn. Ac, ie, dylai fod yn orfodol, achos mae dal angen inni ddangos i nifer o bobl, sy'n crebachu, fod hwn yn gymhwyster gwerthfawr. Mae'n hanfodol, hefyd, i wrthdroi'r cwymp yn y galw am safon uwch os oes unrhyw obaith o gael yr athrawon sydd eu hangen arnom. Diolch.
