English: Thank you for your statement, Cabinet Secretary, and thank you also to Professor Hazelkorn for all her work. I've read the report, obviously. It's an excellent report, and it's a very, very interesting report. The problems identified in this report have been raised in a variety of other reports since 2001. Those problems have been left unsolved since that time. The Hazelkorn report makes many excellent recommendations, and I agree that there should be a single new authority established, but I would say that it's a shame that the self-proclaimed party of education haven't done it already. I also go along with the need for clear delineated roles and functions for the executive - the new tertiary education authority - Welsh Government and institutions, including a service level agreement between the TEA and Welsh Government. If you implement this recommendation, and I think you should, will we see the SLA before it's implemented? The biggest question this report raises for me is why the Welsh Government hasn't come up with these ideas already. Why didn't the previous Welsh Labour administrations listen to the earlier reports? Does the Cabinet Secretary agree with me that the fact that the Government need to be told by the authors of this report that they have to do more to create the appropriate policies and practices to encourage better long-term and joined-up thinking shows that it is the Welsh Government that should be back in the classroom? Surely, that is such a basic requirement of Government that there is no excuse for not getting it right. Both your party and your new friends in Labour falsely claim that UKIP's plans to develop a new generation of grammar and technical schools might lead to inequality of esteem between vocational and academic pathways. Welsh Labour have been and continue to be dazzled by Tony Blair's counterproductive obsession with getting as many people through the doors of a university as possible. Why is that, and where does that come from? This report confirms that Labour itself has been throwing those who are not academically minded onto the scrap heap. It says that the Government is not doing enough to value and reward parity of esteem between vocational and academic pathways. I wonder if the Cabinet Secretary will be good enough to admit the hypocrisy of those trying to appear to be protecting the interests of those who would benefit the most from a vocational learning path, while all the time being guilty of doing the opposite. I appreciate the Cabinet Secretary has only recently taken up post as Cabinet Secretary for Education, but I wonder can she tell me what it is that the Labour education Ministers before here were getting wrong for so long that it's led to this rather unfortunate report. Does the Cabinet Secretary endorse and agree with the report in its entirety and, if not, why not? If she does, what steps will be taken to implement its recommendations and what is the timetable? As well, how will you ensure that sufficient resources are provided to give effect to the reforms? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am eich datganiad, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, a diolch hefyd i'r Athro Hazelkorn am ei holl waith. Rwyf wedi darllen yr adroddiad, yn amlwg. Mae'n adroddiad rhagorol, ac mae'n adroddiad diddorol iawn, iawn. Mae'r problemau a nodir yn yr adroddiad hwn wedi eu codi mewn amrywiaeth o adroddiadau eraill ers 2001. Mae'r problemau hynny wedi eu gadael heb eu datrys er yr adeg honno. Mae adroddiad Hazelkorn yn gwneud llawer o argymhellion rhagorol, ac rwy'n cytuno y dylid sefydlu un awdurdod newydd, ond byddwn i'n dweud ei bod yn drueni nad yw'r blaid sy'n datgan mai hi yw'r blaid ar gyfer addysg wedi gwneud hynny'n barod. Rwyf hefyd yn cyd-fynd â'r angen am swyddogaethau sydd wedi'u hamlinellu'n glir ar gyfer y weithrediaeth - yr awdurdod addysg drydyddol newydd - Llywodraeth Cymru a'r sefydliadau, gan gynnwys cytundeb lefel gwasanaeth rhwng y TEA a Llywodraeth Cymru. Os byddwch chi'n gweithredu'r argymhelliad hwn, ac rwy'n credu y dylech chi, a fyddwn ni'n gweld y cytundeb lefel gwasanaeth cyn iddo gael ei weithredu? Y cwestiwn mwyaf y mae'r adroddiad hwn yn ei godi i mi yw pam nad yw Llywodraeth Cymru wedi meddwl am y syniadau hyn yn barod. Pam na wnaeth gweinyddiaethau blaenorol Llafur Cymru wrando ar yr adroddiadau blaenorol? A yw Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn cytuno â mi bod y ffaith bod angen i'r Llywodraeth gael gwybod gan awduron yr adroddiad hwn bod yn rhaid iddyn nhw wneud mwy i greu polisïau ac arferion priodol i annog gwell meddylfryd hirdymor a chydgysylltiedig yn dangos mai Llywodraeth Cymru ddylai fod yn ôl yn yr ystafell ddosbarth? Siawns bod hynny'n ofyniad mor sylfaenol o Lywodraeth nad oes esgus dros beidio â'i chael yn iawn. Mae eich plaid a'ch ffrindiau newydd yn y Blaid Lafur yn honni'n anwir y gallai cynlluniau UKIP i ddatblygu cenhedlaeth newydd o ysgolion gramadeg a thechnegol arwain at anghydraddoldeb o ran parch rhwng llwybrau galwedigaethol ac academaidd. Mae Llafur Cymru wedi eu dallu ac yn parhau i gael eu dallu gan obsesiwn gwrthgynhyrchiol Tony Blair â chael cynifer o bobl drwy ddrysau prifysgol ag y bo modd. Pam hynny, ac o ble mae hynny'n dod? Mae'r adroddiad hwn yn cadarnhau bod Llafur ei hun wedi bod yn taflu'r bobl hynny nad oes ganddyn nhw feddwl academaidd ar y domen sbwriel. Mae'n dweud nad yw'r Llywodraeth yn gwneud digon i werthfawrogi a gwobrwyo parch cydradd rhwng llwybrau galwedigaethol ac academaidd. Tybed a fydd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet gystal â chyfaddef rhagrith y rhai hynny sy'n ceisio ymddangos fel eu bod yn gwarchod buddiannau'r rhai a fyddai'n elwa fwyaf o lwybr dysgu galwedigaethol, gan fod yn euog ar yr un pryd o wneud fel arall. Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi mai dim ond yn ddiweddar y mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi dechrau yn ei swydd fel Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg, ond tybed a all hi ddweud wrthyf beth oedd Gweinidogion addysg Llafur cyn hyn yn ei chael yn anghywir am gymaint o amser ei bod wedi arwain at yr adroddiad braidd yn anffodus hwn. A yw Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn cymeradwyo ac yn cytuno â'r adroddiad yn ei gyfanrwydd ac, os ddim, pam ddim? Os yw hi, pa gamau a fydd yn cael eu cymryd i weithredu ei argymhellion a beth yw'r amserlen? Hefyd, sut y byddwch chi'n sicrhau bod digon o adnoddau yn cael eu darparu i weithredu'r diwygiadau? Diolch.
