English: May I thank the Cabinet Secretary for her statement and welcome what she had to say? Plaid Cymru, for some time, has supported doing more to teach pupils to create as well as use digital resources such as this, so we are certainly moving in the right direction in that regard. As important as it is to have a digital competence framework, as the Cabinet Secretary has recognised, that, in and of itself, won't be sufficient. The greatest challenge here is to empower teachers on the front line in order for them to implement that framework effectively, and, therefore, CPD and the role of initial teacher training in this area are crucially important. We've heard reference already to the comments made by Estyn. The Children, Young People and Education Committee have also stated in their inquiry into professional education for teachers that the education workforce isn't currently prepared for implementing the new curriculum. In terms of the digital competence framework specifically, the committee has stated that it's a great concern, because the results of a survey by the committee highlighted the lack of information or understanding among teachers related to the changes that are in the pipeline in this context. You've already referred to Estyn mentioning that the teachers don't have the information and the confidence needed to deliver this to its full potential, and very few schools, as far as I can see, have carried out an audit of the digital competence of their staff, and that is certainly something that Estyn highlighted. You mention a phased approach to the digital professional learning framework, and you've mentioned standards and so on. Can you give us a more specific timetable? If there is to be a phased approach, when do you expect everyone to be up to speed in terms of being able to deliver this effectively? You've announced additional resources today, and that's to be welcomed, of course, particularly given the criticism of a statement that you made some months ago from backbench Labour Members. That may still be ringing in your ears, because you turned to the Member who criticised you when you were answering earlier questions. In the context of a previous statement, one criticism was in relation to Minecraft for education as only 10 schools, out of 1,600, were involved in that work, and it was stated that that wasn't good enough. Well, it's good to see, in this statement at least, that more schools are to be involved with Code Club UK. I think that's very positive. The figure that you've given tells us one story, of course. I don't know if you have any information about the geographical spread of some of those schools. I don't expect you to answer in the Chamber, perhaps, but having that sort of information would be beneficial, because very often it depends on an individual within a consortium or a particular council to be driving this agenda. It would be comforting to know that that growth is happening across Wales rather than being centralised in certain areas. The additional £1.2 million that you referred to in your statement is to be welcomed, as I've already said. It's not clear to me if that is for this year or for now until the end of this Assembly. Is it an annual commitment or is there a long-term commitment beyond that? Because we do need a long-term financial assurance in order to embed this new culture in the regime. So, more clarity would be something that I would welcome. And whilst that of course is positive in terms of Swansea and Cardiff universities, is it the intention to look to develop this in other institutions? I'm looking at Bangor and Glyndŵr in my region, of course, because we are eager to develop these areas of expertise and this training in all parts of Wales, I would have thought, in order to ensure that everyone has the same opportunity. I can't let any statement referring to Hwb pass without referring to your decision not to continue with Hwb+. We've had a number of exchanges on that in the past, and I accept that the decision has been taken, but I would point to the fact that Larry Nelson, the managing director of Microsoft Corporation education partners, has described the Hwb+ platform as world leading and a
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Ysgrifennydd am ei datganiad a chroesawu'r hyn yr oedd ganddi hi i ddweud? Mae Plaid Cymru, ers cryn amser, wedi cefnogi gwneud mwy i ddysgu disgyblion i greu yn ogystal â defnyddio adnoddau digidol fel hyn, ac felly rŷm ni'n sicr yn symud i'r cyfeiriad iawn. Mor bwysig ag yw cael fframwaith cymhwysedd digidol, wrth gwrs, fel y mae'r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet wedi cydnabod, nid yw hynny yn ei hunain yn ddigon. Yr her fwyaf fan hyn yw grymuso athrawon ar y rheng flaen i allu gweithredu'r fframwaith hwnnw'n effeithiol. Felly, mae datblygiad proffesiynol parhaus a rôl hyfforddiant cychwynnol athrawon yn y maes yma'n gwbl, gwbl allweddol. Rŷm ni wedi clywed cyfeiriad at y sylwadau y mae Estyn wedi'u gwneud. Wel, mae'r Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg hefyd wedi datgan, yn ein hymchwiliad ar addysg ac addysgu proffesiynol athrawon, nad yw'r gweithlu addysg yn barod ar hyn o bryd ar gyfer gweithredu'r cwricwlwm newydd. Ac o safbwynt y fframwaith cymhwysedd digidol yn benodol, mae'r pwyllgor wedi dweud ei bod hi'n bryder mawr, gan fod canlyniadau arolwg gan y pwyllgor wedi tynnu sylw at y diffyg dealltwriaeth neu wybodaeth ymysg athrawon sy'n ymwneud â'r newidiadau sydd i ddod yn y cyd-destun yma. Rŷch chi eisoes wedi cyfeirio, wrth gwrs, at Estyn yn sôn nad oes gan yr athrawon y wybodaeth na'r hyder sydd eu hangen i fedru gweithredu hwn i'w llawn botensial. A bach iawn, iawn o ysgolion, er enghraifft, hyd y gwelaf i, sydd wedi gwneud awdit o gymhwysedd digidol eu staff, neu'n sicr mae hynny'n rhywbeth yr oedd Estyn yn tynnu sylw ato fe. Rŷch chi'n sôn am phased approach i'r digital professional learning framework, ac rŷch chi wedi sôn am y safonau ac yn y blaen. A allwch chi roi amserlen fwy penodol i ni? Os oes phased approach yn mynd i fod, erbyn pryd ŷch chi'n disgwyl y bydd pawb wedi cyrraedd y lefel angenrheidiol o safbwynt cael y gallu i ddelifro hwn yn effeithiol? Rŷch chi wedi cyhoeddi adnoddau ychwanegol heddiw ac mae hynny, wrth gwrs, i'w groesawu, yn enwedig ar ôl beirniadaeth ynghylch y datganiad y gwnaethoch chi rai misoedd yn ôl gan Aelodau mainc cefn y Llywodraeth. Mae'n bosibl bod hynny'n dal i ganu yn eich clustiau achos roeddech chi'n troi at yr Aelod a wnaeth y cerydd yna pan ateboch chi'r cwestiynau blaenorol. Yr oedd un cerydd a wnaethpwyd bryd hynny yng nghyd-destun Minecraft for education. Yr oedd sôn am 10 ysgol - yn y datganiad blaenorol - yn ymwneud â hynny, allan o 1,600 o ysgolion, a dywedwyd nad oedd hyn yn ddigon da. Wel, mae'n dda gweld, yn y datganiad yma, beth bynnag, fod mwy o ysgolion yn ymwneud â Code Club UK. Rwy'n credu bod hynny'n bositif. Mae'r ffigwr rŷch chi wedi'i roi yn dweud un stori wrthym ni, wrth gwrs. Nid wyf i'n gwybod os oes gennych chi wybodaeth ynglŷn â spread daearyddol rhai o'r ysgolion yna. Nid wyf i'n disgwyl i chi ateb, efallai, yn y Siambr, ond byddai cael y math yna o wybodaeth yn fuddiol, oherwydd yn aml iawn mae'n dibynnu ar unigolyn o fewn consortiwm neu sir i fod yn gyrru'r agenda yma weithiau, ac mi fyddwn i yn cael cysur o wybod bod y twf yna'n digwydd ar draws Cymru ac efallai ddim o reidrwydd wedi'i ganoli dim ond mewn rhai ardaloedd. Mae'r £1.2 miliwn ychwanegol yma rŷch chi wedi cyfeirio ato fe yn eich datganiad i'w groesawu, fel roeddwn i'n dweud. Nid yw'n glir i mi a ydy hynny ar gyfer eleni neu o nawr tan ddiwedd y Cynulliad yma. A ydy e'n ymrwymiad blynyddol, neu a oes yna ymrwymiad hirdymor y tu hwnt i hynny? Oherwydd mae angen sicrwydd ariannu tymor hir yn aml iawn i fedru gwreiddio y diwylliant newydd yma o weithredu i mewn i'r gyfundrefn. Felly, byddai gwell eglurder yn rhywbeth y byddwn i'n ei groesawu. A thra bod hynny wrth gwrs yn gadarnhaol o safbwynt prifysgolion Abertawe a Chaerdydd, a ydy hi'n fwriad i edrych i ddatblygu hyn mewn sefydliadau eraill? Rydw i'n meddwl am Fangor a Glyndŵr yn fy rhanbarth i, wrth gwrs, oherwydd rydym ni'n awyddus i ddatblygu'r arbenigeddau a'r modd i hyfforddi fel hyn ym mhob rhan o Gymru, buaswn i'n tybio, er mwyn sicrhau bod pawb yn cael yr un cyfle. Ni allaf adael i unrhyw ddatganiad sy'n cyfeirio at Hwb fynd heibio heb gyfeirio at eich penderfyniad chi i beidio â pharhau â Hwb+. Rŷm ni wedi cael sawl exchange ar hynny yn y gorffennol, ac rwy'n derbyn bod y penderfyniad wedi cael ei wneud, ond mi fyddwn i yn pwyntio at y ffaith bod Larry Nelson, rheolwr-gyfarwyddwr byd-eang partneriaid addysg Microsoft Corporation, wedi disgrifio platfform Hwb+ fel un sy'n arwain y byd ac fel, ac rwy'n dyfynnu,
