English: Well, firstly, let me be clear that I want as many students from the EU, indeed as many students from around the world, to come and study here at our universities. We have a significant higher education offer, which would be of huge benefit to them. If I could just clarify to the Member, it is not our own budgets that are pertinent to this point - we need to have confirmation from the Westminster Government about the provision of loans. If that does not come forward, the Welsh Government would have to guarantee around £45 million of support to EU students to ensure that they would have the funding in place for the entirely of their study. I'm sure the Member would agree with me that would pose a significant risk to the Welsh Government budget. That's why we require clarity from the Westminster Government around access to loans. Without that clarity, I do not feel that I'm in a position to expose our budgets to those risks. I have pressed the UK higher education Minister, Mr Skidmore, on this issue at every meeting that I have with him. My understanding of the situation now is that we are unlikely to receive a decision or publicly have confirmation from the Westminster Government during the purdah period for the European elections.
Welsh: Wel, yn gyntaf, gadewch i mi ddweud yn glir fy mod am i gynifer o fyfyrwyr o'r UE, yn wir, cynifer o fyfyrwyr o bob cwr o'r byd, ddod i astudio yma yn ein prifysgolion. Mae gennym gynnig addysg uwch da iawn, a fyddai o fudd mawr iddynt. Hoffwn egluro i'r Aelod nad ein cyllidebau ein hunain sy'n berthnasol i'r pwynt hwn - mae angen inni gael cadarnhad gan Lywodraeth San Steffan ynghylch darparu benthyciadau. Os na chawn hynny, byddai'n rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru warantu oddeutu £45 miliwn o gymorth i fyfyrwyr yr UE i sicrhau y byddai'r arian ar gael iddynt drwy gydol eu cyfnod astudio. Rwy'n siŵr y byddai'r Aelod yn cytuno â mi y byddai hynny'n peri risg sylweddol i gyllideb Llywodraeth Cymru. Dyna pam fod angen inni gael eglurder gan Lywodraeth San Steffan ynghylch mynediad at fenthyciadau. Heb yr eglurder hwnnw, nid wyf yn teimlo fy mod mewn sefyllfa i wneud ein cyllidebau yn agored i'r risgiau hynny. Rwyf wedi codi'r mater hwn gyda Gweinidog addysg uwch y DU, Mr Skidmore, ym mhob cyfarfod a gefais gydag ef. Fy nealltwriaeth o'r sefyllfa ar hyn o bryd yw ein bod yn annhebygol o gael penderfyniad neu gadarnhad cyhoeddus gan Lywodraeth San Steffan yn ystod y cyfnod purdah cyn yr etholiadau Ewropeaidd.
English: Thank you for that reply, and I'm not asking from a position of hostility, I'm asking from a position of support, because of course we would want to support the Government's stance on this because we acknowledge how important those EU students would be to the Welsh economy, but also to enhance the lives of the students not only from the continent of Europe, but the lives of students who are here in Wales. So, if there's anything we can do to put influence on the UK Government in regard to the loan, then we would be fully supportive of being able to do that to show that Wales is open for business, despite the deliberations around Brexit. On the third and final question, I just wanted to ask in relation to continuing the theme on the curriculum reform, but specifically in relation to further education. I've heard that many - . There has been welcoming of the actual change in process, but I've heard from some in the sector that they are worried about the progression to work-based learning and to post-16 education in relation to the transition. So, can you guarantee that this process will happen in a seamless way so that, when people are leaving school with these changes in qualifications, when they're accessing post-16 education or work-based learning, those skills will be able to be adaptable to that environment and that you will be engaging with the post-16 education sector in that vein to include them fully in any deliberations that you will be having on the changes to the curriculum?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, ac nid wyf yn gofyn yn elyniaethus, rwy'n gofyn er mwyn rhoi cefnogaeth, oherwydd wrth gwrs, hoffem gefnogi safiad y Llywodraeth ar hyn gan ein bod yn cydnabod pa mor bwysig fyddai'r myfyrwyr hynny o'r UE i economi Cymru, ond hefyd i wella bywydau'r myfyrwyr nid yn unig o gyfandir Ewrop, ond hefyd bywydau'r myfyrwyr sydd yma yng Nghymru. Felly, os oes unrhyw beth y gallwn ei wneud i ddylanwadu ar Lywodraeth y DU mewn perthynas â'r benthyciad, byddem yn gwbl gefnogol i allu gwneud hynny er mwyn dangos bod Cymru yn agored i fusnes, er gwaethaf y trafodaethau ynghylch Brexit. O ran y trydydd cwestiwn a'r cwestiwn olaf, roeddwn am ofyn mewn perthynas â pharhau â'r thema ynghylch diwygio'r cwricwlwm, ond yn benodol mewn perthynas ag addysg bellach. Rwyf wedi clywed bod llawer - . Cafwyd croeso i'r newid yn y broses ei hun, ond clywais gan rai yn y sector eu bod yn poeni ynglŷn â'r symud i ddysgu seiliedig ar waith ac i addysg ôl-16 mewn perthynas â'r cyfnod pontio. Felly, a allwch warantu y bydd y broses hon yn digwydd mewn ffordd ddi-dor fel y gellir sicrhau, pan fydd pobl yn gadael yr ysgol gyda'r newidiadau hyn o ran cymwysterau, pan fyddant yn cael mynediad at addysg ôl-16 neu ddysgu seiliedig ar waith, y gall y sgiliau hynny fod yn addasadwy i'r amgylchedd hwnnw ac y byddwch yn ymgysylltu â'r sector addysg ôl-16 yn yr un modd i'w cynnwys mewn unrhyw drafodaethau y byddwch yn eu cael ar y newidiadau i'r cwricwlwm?
English: Well, I'm grateful for the Member's support of the Welsh Government's stance with regard to the desire to continue to welcome EU students to study at our universities. I'm grateful for her understanding that, until we have clarity around those students' ability to access loans, which comes from the Westminster Treasury, we're not in a position to make further announcements. Can I assure the member that FE have been intricately involved in the pioneer process in the development of the curriculum to date? Clearly, we would want any child emerging from our schools, following the implementation of the curriculum, with a set of qualifications, skills and aptitudes that will allow them to go on to pursue either the world of work or further education study, whether that be in apprenticeships, whether that be traditional academic A-level courses or vocational courses, and representatives of the FE sector have been involved to date. But may I use this opportunity, Presiding Officer, to encourage everybody who has an interest in Welsh education to engage in the period that we are in now, as we test, refine and challenge ourselves as to the development of our new curriculum - the first time in the history of this nation that we will have devised our own curriculum for our children and young people?
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n ddiolchgar am gefnogaeth yr Aelod i safiad Llywodraeth Cymru o ran yr awydd i barhau i groesawu myfyrwyr yr UE i astudio yn ein prifysgolion. Rwy'n ddiolchgar iddi am ddeall nad ydym mewn sefyllfa i wneud cyhoeddiadau pellach hyd nes y cawn eglurder gan Drysorlys San Steffan ynghylch gallu'r myfyrwyr hynny i gael mynediad at fenthyciadau. A gaf fi sicrhau'r Aelod fod addysg bellach wedi chwarae rhan fanwl yn y broses arloesi wrth ddatblygu'r cwricwlwm hyd yn hyn? Yn amlwg, byddem am i unrhyw blentyn a ddaw o'n hysgolion wedi i'r cwricwlwm gael ei roi ar waith feddu ar set o gymwysterau, sgiliau a doniau a fydd yn eu galluogi i fynd yn eu blaenau naill ai i'r byd gwaith neu i astudio mewn addysg bellach, boed hynny drwy brentisiaethau, drwy gyrsiau Safon Uwch academaidd traddodiadol neu gyrsiau galwedigaethol, ac mae cynrychiolwyr o'r sector addysg bellach wedi bod yn rhan o'r broses hyd yn hyn. Ond a gaf fi ddefnyddio'r cyfle hwn, Lywydd, i annog pawb sydd â diddordeb mewn addysg yng Nghymru i gymryd rhan yn y cyfnod rydym ynddo ar hyn o bryd, wrth i ni brofi, mireinio a herio ein hunain gyda datblygiad ein cwricwlwm newydd - y tro cyntaf yn hanes y genedl hon y byddwn wedi dyfeisio ein cwricwlwm ein hunain ar gyfer ein plant a'n pobl ifanc?
English: Thank you very much, Mark. Our ambitious additional learning needs reforms will help ensure that all children and young people requiring British Sign Language to access education are at the heart of the planning process and have the support properly planned and protected.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Mark. Bydd ein diwygiadau uchelgeisiol i anghenion dysgu ychwanegol yn helpu i sicrhau bod pob plentyn a pherson ifanc sydd angen Iaith Arwyddion Prydain er mwyn cael mynediad at addysg yn ganolog i'r broses gynllunio ac y caiff y cymorth ei gynllunio'n briodol a'i ddiogelu.
English: Thank you. On 6 February, we debated the Deffo! Wales Deaf Youth Forum petition asking for deaf young people to have better access to education, qualified staff to work with, and help to develop the skills of deaf young people using British Sign Language. Deffo! is concerned that, in your subsequent response to a letter you were forwarded from them, you stated that none of the £289,000 extra money being put into the additional learning needs budget is to go for support for teaching assistants - or, as they prefer to be called, communication support workers - and they say that's truly shocking. How do you respond to their concern that, to date, they've had no further correspondence from your or anyone in Welsh Government regarding the plan to set up an advisory group to begin the actions that were agreed at the debate?
Welsh: Diolch. Ar 6 Chwefror, buom yn trafod deiseb Deffo! Fforwm Ieuenctid Byddar Cymru a oedd yn gofyn am well mynediad at addysg i bobl ifanc fyddar, staff cymwys i weithio gyda hwy, a chymorth i ddatblygu sgiliau pobl ifanc byddar sy'n defnyddio Iaith Arwyddion Prydain. Mae Deffo! yn pryderu eich bod wedi dweud yn eich ymateb dilynol i lythyr ganddynt a ddaeth i'ch sylw na fydd dim o'r £289,000 o arian ychwanegol sy'n cael ei ddarparu i'r gyllideb anghenion dysgu ychwanegol yn mynd tuag at gymorth i gynorthwywyr addysgu - neu, fel y mae'n well ganddynt gael eu galw, gweithwyr cymorth cyfathrebu - a dywedant fod hynny'n wirioneddol syfrdanol. Sut yr ymatebwch i'w pryder nad ydynt wedi cael unrhyw ohebiaeth bellach oddi wrthych chi na neb yn Llywodraeth Cymru hyd yma ynglŷn â'r cynllun i sefydlu grŵp ymgynghori i ddechrau'r camau gweithredu a gytunwyd yn y ddadl?
English: I would be very happy to update the campaigners, and I will put a copy of that letter, if appropriate, Presiding Officer, in the Library and also copy it to the Member concerned.
Welsh: Buaswn yn fwy na pharod i roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r ymgyrchwyr, a byddaf yn rhoi copi o'r llythyr hwnnw, os yw'n briodol, Lywydd, yn y Llyfrgell, a'i gopïo hefyd i'r Aelod dan sylw.
English: Can I thank the Member for the question? I'm committed to ensuring that all young people receive high-quality sexuality and relationships education. I announced in May 2018 my intention to rename this area of study and have proposed that relationships and sexuality education will be statutory for all learners in the new curriculum.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei chwestiwn? Rwyf wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau bod yr holl bobl ifanc yn derbyn addysg rhywioldeb a pherthnasoedd o ansawdd uchel. Ym mis Mai 2018, cyhoeddais fy mwriad i ailenwi'r maes astudio hwn ac rwyf wedi cynnig y bydd addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb yn statudol i bob dysgwr yn y cwricwlwm newydd.
English: Thank you very much, Minister, for that. I think, having picked up the draft statutory guidance yesterday, it reads really, really well about what we're trying to do and also, hopefully, will calm down anybody who has been encouraged to think that this was, in some way, a way of brainwashing our children into one piece of action or another. Obviously, the new areas of learning don't come into force for a little while, so, given the problems that there have been in England, where some quite homophobic remarks have been made, particularly by people who claim to be professionals, how can we ensure that parents in Wales realise that what we're trying to do is give children the tools they need to live a healthy life and to inform healthy relationships? Is there some sort of summary version that's going to be issued so that all parents are aware of what can become quite a contentious issue if it's in the wrong person's hands?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Weinidog. Ar ôl darllen y canllawiau statudol drafft ddoe, credaf eu bod yn egluro'r hyn rydym yn ceisio'i wneud yn dda iawn, a hefyd, gobeithio, yn tawelu meddwl unrhyw un sydd wedi'i annog i feddwl bod hyn, rywsut, yn ffordd o gyflyru ein plant i weithredu mewn rhyw ffordd neu'i gilydd. Yn amlwg, ni fydd y meysydd dysgu newydd yn dod i rym am beth amser, felly, o gofio'r problemau a gafwyd yn Lloegr, lle gwnaed sylwadau eithaf homoffobig, yn enwedig gan bobl sy'n honni eu bod yn weithwyr proffesiynol, sut y gallwn sicrhau bod rhieni yng Nghymru yn sylweddoli mai'r hyn y ceisiwn ei wneud yw rhoi'r arfau sydd eu hangen arnynt i blant allu byw bywyd iach a hybu perthnasoedd iach? A fydd rhyw fath o fersiwn gryno yn cael ei chyhoeddi fel bod pob rhiant yn ymwybodol o'r hyn a all ddod yn fater go ddadleuol yn nwylo'r unigolyn anghywir?
English: Can I thank Jenny for her positive welcome of the draft that was published yesterday? It is absolutely crucial that everybody understands that what we are proposing here is age and developmentally appropriate relationship and sexuality education that is fully inclusive and reflects the society our children and young people are growing up in and will become adults in. It is about giving those children and young people the language and the knowledge that they will need, as you say, to form healthy relationships - in the first instance, within their own family, and among their peers in school - how they can keep themselves safe, how they have the knowledge to understand what a healthy relationship looks like and what an abusive one looks like. And that is at the heart of what we're trying to do in the development of the new curriculum. But, clearly, I understand that, often, these are sensitive issues, particularly for adults. They're rarely so sensitive for children and young people, who seem to take it all very much in their stride. But it can be very sensitive for adults. And, as part of our engagement around the new curriculum, I will be undertaking a series of roadshow events, and I'll look in particular at engaging with families - mums, dads and carers - on these particular issues. But I'm grateful for the Member's support.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i Jenny am ei chroeso cadarnhaol i'r drafft a gyhoeddwyd ddoe? Mae'n gwbl hanfodol fod pawb yn deall mai'r hyn rydym yn ei gynnig yma yw addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb sy'n briodol i oedran a datblygiad, sy'n gwbl gynhwysol ac sy'n adlewyrchu'r gymdeithas y mae ein plant a'n pobl ifanc yn tyfu i fyny ynddi ac y byddant yn dod yn oedolion ynddi. Mae'n ymwneud â rhoi'r iaith a'r wybodaeth y byddant eu hangen i'r plant a'r bobl ifanc hynny, fel y dywedwch, er mwyn iddynt allu ffurfio perthnasoedd iach - yn gyntaf, yn eu teuluoedd eu hunain, ac ymhlith eu cyfoedion yn yr ysgol - sut y gallant gadw eu hunain yn ddiogel, sut y mae ganddynt wybodaeth i ddeall sut beth yw perthynas iach a sut beth yw perthynas gamdriniol. Ac mae hynny'n ganolog i'r hyn y ceisiwn ei wneud wrth ddatblygu'r cwricwlwm newydd. Ond yn amlwg, rwy'n deall bod y rhain yn aml yn faterion sensitif, yn enwedig i oedolion. Anaml y byddant mor sensitif â hynny i blant a phobl ifanc, sydd i'w gweld yn ymdrin â'r cyfan yn ddigyffro. Ond gallant fod yn sensitif iawn i oedolion. Ac fel rhan o'n hymgysylltiad ar y cwricwlwm newydd, byddaf yn cynnal cyfres o ddigwyddiadau teithiol, a byddaf yn edrych yn benodol ar ymgysylltu â theuluoedd - mamau, tadau a gofalwyr - ar y materion hyn. Ond rwy'n ddiolchgar am gefnogaeth yr Aelod.
English: Welsh Women's Aid believes that schools need to be equipped with the resources they need to properly publicise the benefits of the new RSE curriculum - relationships and sexuality education - in order to ensure and protect children's rights. How do you respond to the reinforcement by Welsh Women's Aid of the need for a designated and trained RSE lead practitioner to develop and deliver the RSE curriculum and embed RSE in a whole-school approach, as recommended by the expert panel to improve impact and access for children across Wales?
Welsh: Cred Cymorth i Fenywod Cymru fod angen i ysgolion gael yr adnoddau sydd eu hangen arnynt i roi cyhoeddusrwydd priodol i fanteision y cwricwlwm addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb newydd er mwyn sicrhau ac amddiffyn hawliau plant. Sut yr ymatebwch i Cymorth i Fenywod Cymru, sydd wedi atgyfnerthu'r angen am ymarferwr arweiniol addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb dynodedig a hyfforddedig i ddatblygu a chyflwyno'r cwricwlwm addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb ac ymgorffori addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb mewn dull ysgol gyfan, fel yr argymhellwyd gan y panel arbenigol i wella effaith a mynediad i blant ledled Cymru?
English: Mark, as you'll be aware, the Welsh Government has funded Welsh Women's Aid to help us develop materials and resources to go into schools. Additional resources have been made available specifically to help train teachers and professionals working in our schools to discuss these issues with children and with young people. I was delighted to receive today a letter from the Children's Commissioner for Wales that says that, having studied the draft of the curriculum that was published yesterday, she believes that that draft curriculum not only puts Wales at the forefront of the UK in ensuring children learn and are able to exercise their rights, but it puts us at the forefront internationally. Now, clearly, there is more work to be done, and the children's commissioner will want to provide feedback, but I'm delighted to receive her initial assessment of where this puts us - Wales - internationally at the forefront for children's rights.
Welsh: Mark, fel y gwyddoch, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyllido Cymorth i Fenywod Cymru i'n helpu i ddatblygu deunyddiau ac adnoddau i fynd i mewn i ysgolion. Mae adnoddau ychwanegol wedi eu darparu'n benodol i helpu i hyfforddi athrawon a gweithwyr proffesiynol sy'n gweithio yn ein hysgolion i drafod y materion hyn gyda phlant a phobl ifanc. Roeddwn yn falch iawn o dderbyn llythyr heddiw gan Gomisiynydd Plant Cymru sy'n dweud ei bod yn credu, ar ôl astudio'r cwricwlwm drafft a gyhoeddwyd ddoe, fod y cwricwlwm drafft hwnnw nid yn unig yn rhoi Cymru ar flaen y gad o ran sicrhau bod plant yn dysgu ac yn gallu arfer eu hawliau, ond mae'n ein rhoi ar flaen y gad yn rhyngwladol. Nawr, yn amlwg, mae mwy o waith i'w wneud, a bydd y comisiynydd plant yn awyddus i roi adborth, ond mae'n bleser gennyf dderbyn ei hasesiad cychwynnol o ble mae hyn yn ein rhoi ni - Cymru - yn rhyngwladol ar flaen y gad o ran hawliau plant.
English: Thank you, Joyce. We are aware of some schools in west Wales that run an asymmetric week, with Friday afternoons used for planning and training time for teachers. It is for the schools to decide how to structure their week. However, in doing so, they must consult with parents before making any changes.
Welsh: Diolch, Joyce. Rydym yn ymwybodol fod rhai ysgolion yng ngorllewin Cymru yn gweithredu wythnos anghymesur, gyda phrynhawniau Gwener yn cael eu defnyddio ar gyfer cynllunio ac amser hyfforddi i athrawon. Yr ysgolion sydd i benderfynu sut i strwythuro'u hwythnos. Fodd bynnag, wrth wneud hynny, mae'n rhaid iddynt ymgynghori â'r rhieni cyn gwneud unrhyw newidiadau.
English: A number of the schools in my constituency have already introduced that early finish on a Friday, as you say, to allow time for teacher training, with many more expressing plans to follow suit in September. The concern is that some parents are wondering what, if any, subjects might be not delivered or reduced as a result of the two hours' reduced teaching time. Also, some parents are concerned about the shortened week and what that might mean for them in terms of supervision for their children when they're working. I wonder whether you've had any discussions over those particular items that have been brought to my attention, and those concerns from those parents, with the schools in question.
Welsh: Mae nifer o'r ysgolion yn fy etholaeth eisoes yn cau yn gynnar ar ddydd Gwener, fel y dywedwch, i ganiatáu amser ar gyfer hyfforddi athrawon, gyda llawer ohonynt yn sôn am gynlluniau i wneud yr un peth ym mis Medi. Y pryder yw bod rhai rhieni yn meddwl tybed pa bynciau, os o gwbl, na fydd yn cael eu darparu neu eu cwtogi o ganlyniad i ddwy awr yn llai o amser addysgu. Hefyd, mae rhai rhieni'n pryderu am yr wythnos fyrrach a'r hyn y gallai hynny ei olygu iddynt hwy o ran goruchwylio'u plant pan fyddant yn y gwaith. Tybed a ydych wedi cael unrhyw drafodaethau ynglŷn â'r materion penodol a ddygwyd i fy sylw, a phryderon y rhieni hynny, gyda'r ysgolion dan sylw.
English: Thank you, Joyce. Officials have been in touch with Pembrokeshire with regard to proposals to introduce the asymmetric week in some schools and the implementation already of the asymmetric week in others. Let me be absolutely clear: the assurances that I have had from Pembrokeshire County Council say that no child has to go home on a Friday afternoon as there is significant provision of extra-curricular activities and opportunities to stay for lunch and to participate in an entire range of extra-curricular activities, either of an artistic or expressive arts kind, or sport, or of an academic kind. All schools, as I said, are required to undertake a community consultation should they wish to change to the asymmetric week. I know, for instance, in the case of Ysgol Harri Tudur, they continue to keep under review the asymmetric week and whether they wish to make further changes. Of course, Pembrokeshire is not the only area. Treorchy Comprehensive, for instance, in Rhondda Cynon Taf, has been operating an asymmetric week now for, I believe, two years.
Welsh: Diolch, Joyce. Mae swyddogion wedi cysylltu â sir Benfro mewn perthynas â chynigion i gyflwyno'r wythnos anghymesur mewn rhai ysgolion a'r wythnos anghymesur sydd eisoes ar waith mewn ysgolion eraill. Gadewch i mi ddweud yn gwbl glir: yn ôl y sicrwydd a gefais gan Gyngor Sir Penfro, nid oes yn rhaid i unrhyw blentyn fynd adref ar brynhawn Gwener gan fod darpariaeth sylweddol o weithgareddau allgyrsiol a chyfleoedd i aros i gael cinio ac i gymryd rhan mewn ystod lawn o weithgareddau allgyrsiol, naill ai o natur gelfyddydol artistig neu fynegiannol, neu chwaraeon, neu o fath academaidd. Mae'n ofynnol i bob ysgol, fel y dywedais, gynnal ymgynghoriad cymunedol os ydynt am newid i'r wythnos anghymesur. Gwn, er enghraifft, yn achos Ysgol Harri Tudur, eu bod yn parhau i adolygu'r wythnos anghymesur a ph'un a ydynt am wneud rhagor o newidiadau. Wrth gwrs, nid sir Benfro yw'r unig ardal. Mae Ysgol Gyfun Treorci, er enghraifft, yn Rhondda Cynon Taf, wedi bod yn gweithredu wythnos anghymesur ers dwy flynedd bellach, rwy'n credu.
