English: Well, in the context of our usual degrees, about two thirds of our students are women. We've doubled the number of students who come from a widening access background, so the two lowest quintiles of the WIMD, the Welsh index of multiple deprivation. In terms of degree apprenticeships then, around 27 per cent are women, which is lower, clearly, but it's not as bad as it could be. But I do think the important point in that is that with our usual degrees, there are a broad range of them, and it's not only a matter of one framework or one degree; there's not only one subject, but a range of subjects. There are also ways of learning for free. So, we have platforms such as OpenLearn, where we have thousands of free courses that give you a taste of education and give people a taste of learning. That's not necessarily available with degree apprenticeships and workplace learning. That's the point, therefore, in terms of if you'd like to broaden the number and increase the number of women, people from disadvantaged backgrounds, disabled people, et cetera, and BME students, you need a broad range so that people can choose those subjects or the degree apprenticeships that are more relevant to them. And there's also a point in that as the Government looks at how they're going to broaden degree apprenticeships, if at all, and we hope that they do, there's a point there in that you should choose subjects strategically and choose these areas strategically, not only because of that, but keeping an eye on those choices that don't necessarily include that gendered element. That's not something that everyone would agree with, in that there is a gendered element to some areas, but the experience in general, evidently, is that some women choose not to go into one area or another, and the same is true for men - they don't choose to go into certain areas. So, you need to bear that in mind as you choose those areas to develop. But the main point, as I referred to in the previous question, is that we also need people to see that there's a clear pathway. So, if you're starting at level 2, you need to be able to see that, 'From here, I'm going to go to level 3, level 4, et cetera'. You need to be able to see that end goal, which is the degree apprenticeship. At the moment, you go into a degree apprenticeship not having been at those lower levels or not having done that previous learning. So, you can't see where you're going to go, and that's offputting for a number of people.
Welsh: Ie. Wel, fel cyd-destun, o ran ein graddau arferol ni, mae rhyw ddau draean o'n myfyrwyr ni yn fenywod. Rŷn ni wedi dyblu'r nifer o fyfyrwyr sy'n dod o gefndiroedd ehangu mynediad, so, y ddau quintile isaf yn WIMD, y Welsh index of multiple deprivation. O ran prentisiaethau gradd wedyn, mae rhyw 27 y cant yn fenywod, sydd yn fwy isel, yn amlwg, ond ddim mor wael a gallai fe fod. Ond dwi'n credu efallai'r pwynt pwysig fanna yw, gyda'n graddau arferol ni, mae yna ystod eang ohonyn nhw, nid dim ond un fframwaith sydd, neu un radd; nid dim ond un pwnc, ond mae yna ystod eang. Mae hefyd ffyrdd o gael dysgu am ddim. So, mae gyda ni blatfformau fel OpenLearn lle mae gyda ni filoedd o gyrsiau am ddim sydd yn rhoi blas ar addysg a blas ar ddysgu i rywun. Dyw hwnna ddim o reidrwydd mewn lle gyda phrentisiaethau gradd a dysgu yn y gweithle. Dyna'r pwynt, felly, o ran os ŷch chi'n moyn ehangu'r nifer a chynyddu'r nifer o fenywod, nifer o bobl o gymunedau difreintiedig, pobl anabl ac yn y blaen, pobl groenddu, mae angen bod yna ystod eang fel bod pobl yn gallu dewis y pynciau hynny neu'r prentisiaethau gradd hynny sydd yn fwy perthnasol iddyn nhw. Ond hefyd mae yna bwynt o ran wrth i'r Llywodraeth edrych ar sut maen nhw'n mynd i ehangu prentisiaethau gradd, os o gwbl, a rŷn ni'n gobeithio y gwnân nhw, mae yna bwynt o ran dylech chi ddewis pynciau yn strategol a meysydd yn strategol, nid dim ond oherwydd, ond gyda llygad ar ddewis y meysydd hynny sydd ddim o reidrwydd â'r elfen gendered iddyn nhw. Dyw hwnna ddim yn rhywbeth dwi'n meddwl byddai pawb yn cytuno ag e, bod yna elfen gendered i rai meysydd, ond y profiad yn gyffredinol, yn amlwg, yw bod rhai menywod yn dewis peidio mynd i un maes neu'r llall, a rhai dynion hefyd yn dewis peidio mynd i un maes neu'r llall. Felly, rhaid cadw hwnna mewn cof wrth ddewis y meysydd hynny rŷch chi'n eu datblygu. Ond y prif bwynt, fel gwnes i gyfeirio ato fe yn y cwestiwn arall, oedd bod angen hefyd bod pobl yn gallu gweld bod yna llwybr clir. Hynny yw, os ŷch chi'n dechrau ar lefel 2, mae angen eich bod chi'n gallu gweld, 'Reit, o fan hyn, dwi'n mynd i fynd i lefel 3, lefel 4, ac yn y blaen, ac yn gallu gweld y penllanw', sef prentisiaeth gradd. Ar hyn o bryd, rŷch chi'n mynd i mewn i brentisiaeth gradd heb fod ar y lefelau isaf yna neu heb wneud y dysgu blaenorol. Felly, rŷch chi'n ffaelu gweld lle rŷch chi'n mynd i fynd, ac mae hwnna'n offputting i eithaf lot o bobl.
