English: This is one thing that we believe it's too early to assess. Clearly, it's something that needs to be considered. There was reference during the summer in terms of the experiences of parents who had children in Welsh-medium schools, and they were non-Welsh speakers and all the work was being carried out digitally, and whether that might create a situation where they would be reticent about sending their younger children to Welsh-medium schools. The same is true in terms of concerns as to whether that will impact decisions in terms of post-16 provision and we have had some discussions with the coleg Cymraeg. I think what is needed now is that we should keep a close eye on this, but, clearly, I think that one of the main challenges is if you're a 16-year-old student who has had all of your education through the medium of Welsh, the situation, to be honest with you, even before COVID was that the FE provision was not adequate, and that is exacerbated by a situation where there aren't sufficient digital resources available through the medium of Welsh. So, there is a disadvantage here and there's a risk that that is increasing because of a lack of resources. If that were to create a situation where there is a shift away from Welsh-medium education, then I do think we would have to consider that. At the moment, I am not aware that the councils are reporting that there is a great shift. I'm sure there are individual families who will make that decision. That always happens. But, at the moment, I am not aware that there has been a great shift in that direction, but I do think it's something that we will have to keep an eye on. That's one of the considerations that are important for you as a committee to be aware of in the long term, in order to consider whether these changes will impact all of our plans, including the Welsh Government's plans in terms of 'Cymraeg 2050' to increase the percentage receiving their education through the medium of Welsh.
Welsh: Mae hyn yn un peth rydym ni'n meddwl sydd yn rhy fuan ar hyn o bryd i'w ddweud. Yn amlwg mae'n rhywbeth sydd angen sylw. Mi oedd yna gyfeiriad yn ystod yr haf at brofiadau rhieni oedd â phlant o fewn ysgolion Cymraeg, er enghraifft, a nhw'n ddi-Gymraeg a'r holl waith yn cael ei gyflwyno'n ddigidol, ac a fyddai hynny'n creu sefyllfa lle'r oedden nhw'n amharod i blant ieuengach fynd i mewn i ysgolion Cymraeg. Mae'r un sefyllfa'n wir o ran pryder a fydd hynny yn effeithio ar benderfyniadau o ran darpariaeth ôl 16 a hefyd rydym ni wedi cynnal trafodaethau efo'r coleg Cymraeg. Rydw i'n meddwl mai beth sydd ei angen ar hyn o bryd ydy inni gadw golwg, ond yn amlwg rydw i'n meddwl mai un o'r prif heriau ydy os ydych chi yn fyfyriwr 16 oed wedi cael eich holl addysg yn y Gymraeg, y sefyllfa i fod yn onest efo chi, hyd yn oed cyn COVID oedd bod y ddarpariaeth addysg bellach ddim yn ddigonol, ac mae hynny yn cael ei waethygu gan sefyllfa lle does yna ddim digon o adnoddau digidol ar gael yn y Gymraeg. Felly, mae yna anfantais ac mae yna beryg bod yr anfantais yna yn cynyddu o achos y diffyg adnoddau. Os bydd hynny'n creu sefyllfa lle bydd yna symud oddi wrth addysg Gymraeg, rydw i'n meddwl bydd yn rhaid inni weld. Ar hyn o bryd, dydw i ddim yn ymwybodol bod y cynghorau yn adrodd bod yna lawer o symud. Mae'n siŵr bod yna deuluoedd unigol sydd wedi gwneud y penderfyniad. Mae hynny wastad yn digwydd. Ond ar hyn o bryd, dydw i ddim yn ymwybodol bod yna lawer o symud yn y cyfeiriad yna, ond rydw i'n meddwl ei fod o'n rhywbeth bydd yn rhaid inni gadw golwg arno fo. Dyna un o'r ystyriaethau, dwi'n meddwl, sydd yn bwysig i chi fel pwyllgor fod yn ymwybodol ohonyn nhw yn yr hirdymor, i weld a fydd y newidiadau yma yn effeithio ar ein cynlluniau ni i gyd, gan gynnwys cynlluniau'r Llywodraeth o ran 'Cymraeg 2050' i gynyddu'r ganran sydd yn derbyn eu haddysg yn y Gymraeg.
