English: Well, I think it's - . Local decision makers obviously have a part to play in this, but on top of that there have been some decisions by the Welsh Government to take certain grants out of the education funding landscape. We've seen this with cuts to the minority ethnic and Gypsy/Traveller grants, for example, which are having a huge impact right now across the whole country. But, of course, at the end of the day the cash is there, it is available to be spent, and it's disappointing to see that this funding gap has opened. We looked at the recruitment of ethnic minority background teachers, and I think it's very concerning, really, that just 69 teachers out of the 36,000 registered with the Education Workforce Council identify themselves as black, particularly when we know that young boys, particularly from black or Afro-Caribbean backgrounds, are underachieving so significantly. In addition to that, Gypsy/Traveller communities - we're not having sufficient numbers of people coming forward into teacher training from those communities either. So, we've got to take some concerted action, and I don't believe that the Welsh Government's response on those things in particular has been sufficient. I'd like to hear more about the research that you are conducting into these issues, Cabinet Secretary, in your response to the debate. Now, I know that the Welsh Government has taken some action to reduce the workload pressures on teachers, and I know that there is a good practice guide that has been issued. I'd like to see the outcomes of that to see whether the approach that the Welsh Government is taking is working. There's been a positive development as well, of course, with the appointment of business managers to work not just within individual schools, but across a number of school sites too. Clearly, some of the recommendations in our report, looking for the evaluation of those projects, are very, very important. If I can just turn very briefly to professional standards, I am astonished really that the Government has rejected two very important recommendations around broadening the remit of the Education Workforce Council to allow them to be the custodians of professional standards in the future. We were alarmed by the complexity of the new professional standards and the way in which they are accessed. Effectively, it is over 100 slides on a PowerPoint that people have to fathom and interpret in order to determine whether they are meeting those professional standards, and the Education Workforce Council have told us that the new standards and the approach that's being taken are going to make it more difficult to enforce against people meeting those standards. So, I'm very concerned about that, as I am -
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n credu - . Mae'n amlwg fod gan y rhai sy'n gwneud penderfyniadau lleol ran i'w chwarae yn hyn, ond ar ben hynny gwnaed rhai penderfyniadau gan Lywodraeth Cymru i dynnu rhai grantiau penodol o'r tirlun cyllido addysg. Rydym wedi gweld hyn gyda'r toriadau i'r grantiau lleiafrifoedd ethnig a'r grantiau Sipsiwn a Theithwyr, er enghraifft, sy'n cael effaith enfawr yn awr ledled y wlad. Ond wrth gwrs, mae'r arian yno, mae ar gael i'w wario, ac mae'n siomedig gweld bod y bwlch cyllido hwn wedi agor. Buom yn edrych ar y broses o recriwtio athrawon o gefndiroedd ethnig lleiafrifol, ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn destun pryder mawr, mewn gwirionedd, mai 69 yn unig o'r 36,000 o athrawon a gofrestrwyd gyda Chyngor y Gweithlu Addysg sy'n nodi eu bod yn ddu, yn enwedig â ninnau'n gwybod bod bechgyn ifanc, yn enwedig o gefndiroedd Affro-Caribïaidd, yn tangyflawni mor sylweddol. Yn ogystal â hynny, mewn perthynas â chymunedau Sipsiwn a Theithwyr - nid oes digon o bobl o'r cymunedau hynny'n hyfforddi i fod yn athrawon chwaith. Felly, mae'n rhaid i ni roi camau pendant ar waith, ac nid wyf yn credu bod ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i'r pethau hynny yn enwedig wedi bod yn ddigonol. Hoffwn glywed mwy ynglŷn â'r ymchwil rydych yn ei gynnal i'r pethau hyn, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, yn eich ymateb i'r ddadl. Nawr, gwn fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cymryd rhai camau i leihau pwysau gwaith ar athrawon, a gwn fod canllaw arfer da wedi'i gyhoeddi. Hoffwn weld canlyniadau hynny i weld a yw dull Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio. Cafwyd datblygiad cadarnhaol yn ogystal, wrth gwrs, gyda phenodi rheolwyr busnes i weithio, nid yn unig o fewn ysgolion unigol, ond ar draws nifer o safleoedd ysgol hefyd. Yn amlwg, mae rhai o'r argymhellion yn ein hadroddiad, sy'n edrych am werthusiad o'r prosiectau hynny, yn bwysig tu hwnt. Os caf drafod safonau proffesiynol yn fyr, rwyf wedi fy syfrdanu mewn gwirionedd fod y Llywodraeth wedi gwrthod dau argymhelliad pwysig iawn mewn perthynas ag ehangu cylch gwaith Cyngor y Gweithlu Addysg i ganiatáu iddynt fod yn warcheidwaid safonau proffesiynol yn y dyfodol. Cawsom ein dychryn gan gymhlethdod y safonau proffesiynol newydd a'r ffordd y ceir mynediad atynt. Dros 100 sleidiau PowerPoint ydynt i bob pwrpas ac mae'n rhaid i bobl eu deall a'u dehongli er mwyn penderfynu a ydynt yn bodloni'r safonau proffesiynol hynny, ac mae Cyngor y Gweithlu Addysg wedi dweud wrthym y bydd y safonau newydd a'r dull a fabwysiadwyd yn mynd i'w gwneud yn anos ei orfodi yn erbyn pobl sy'n cyrraedd y safonau hynny. Felly, rwy'n bryderus iawn am hynny, fel rwyf -
