English: Thank you. That's a very helpful answer, Minister. You've just confirmed that this is going to be ring-fenced money and it will be going to the schools, and, if that doesn't happen, then, obviously, we will be holding you, as well as local authorities, to account on that. Perhaps you can let us have a note at some point about what the difference is between the money that you've had from the UK Government and that that you're prepared to give to meet the total cost to see if we can get some sort of sense of the scale of your commitment. Like Siân Gwenllian, I don't think I've ever heard from so many teachers about core funding as I am the moment, and, yes, we can discuss London's role in this, but teachers are wise to the fact that the education budget increased this year, and they have questions for you and council leaders about whether central Government grant funding, which is targeted at those diverse needs you mentioned a bit earlier on - whether that is starting to give local authorities a bit of a get-out-of-jail-free card when it comes to providing core budgets to school. And in particular - this is what's coming to me - the very welcome increase in the pupil development grant - and this is not an attack on PDG in any way at all - means that schools in more affluent areas are losing staff while schools in more deprived areas are able to retain them, because of the PDG targeting the needs of poorer children, obviously, but maintaining the resilience of the school structure and its staffing, and, of course, providing some incidental benefit to pupils who are not eligible for free school meals, which is fine by me, I must admit. That flexibility is not open to schools with low PDG eligibility, and there's a risk now, I think, of creating a cohort of educationally disadvantaged children and young people, which is not what you want - I'm absolutely certain of that. So, I heard your comments in response to Hefin David a bit earlier on, in which you spoke of the funding formula, so I'm not talking about that. But are you open to reconsidering the balance of how schools are funded as between Welsh Government and local authorities and in the round, and, again, in a way that isn't seen as an attack on the PDG, because that's certainly not my intention?
Welsh: Diolch. Mae hwnnw'n ateb defnyddiol iawn, Weinidog. Rydych newydd gadarnhau y bydd yr arian hwn wedi'i glustnodi ac y bydd yn mynd i'r ysgolion, ac os na fydd hynny'n digwydd, yna, yn amlwg, byddwn yn eich dwyn chi, yn ogystal ag awdurdodau lleol, i gyfrif am hynny. Efallai y gallwch egluro inni ar ryw bwynt beth yw'r gwahaniaeth rhwng yr arian a gawsoch gan Lywodraeth y DU a'r hyn rydych yn barod i'w roi i dalu cyfanswm y gost er mwyn gweld a allwn gael rhyw fath o synnwyr ynglŷn â maint eich ymrwymiad. Fel Siân Gwenllian, ni chredaf fy mod erioed wedi clywed gan gynifer o athrawon ynglŷn â chyllid craidd ag a wnaf ar hyn o bryd, a gallwn drafod rôl Llundain yn hyn o beth, ond mae athrawon yn ymwybodol o'r ffaith bod y gyllideb addysg wedi cynyddu eleni, ac mae ganddynt gwestiynau i chi ac arweinwyr cynghorau ynglŷn ag a yw cyllid grant canolog y Llywodraeth, a dargedir at yr anghenion amrywiol hynny a grybwyllwyd gennych ychydig yn gynharach - a yw hynny'n dechrau rhoi rhyw fath o gerdyn dod-allan-o'r-carchar-am-ddim i awdurdodau lleol mewn perthynas â darparu cyllidebau craidd i ysgolion. Ac yn benodol - dyma'r hyn a glywaf - mae'r cynnydd calonogol iawn yn y grant datblygu disgyblion - ac nid yw hyn yn ymosodiad ar y grant datblygu disgyblion mewn unrhyw ffordd - yn golygu bod ysgolion mewn ardaloedd mwy cefnog yn colli staff tra bod ysgolion mewn ardaloedd mwy difreintiedig yn gallu eu cadw, gan fod y grant datblygu disgyblion yn targedu anghenion plant tlotach, yn amlwg, ond gan gynnal cadernid strwythur yr ysgol a'i staffio hefyd, a darparu peth budd cysylltiedig wrth gwrs i ddisgyblion nad ydynt yn gymwys i gael prydau ysgol am ddim, sy'n ddigon teg o'm rhan i, rhaid cyfaddef. Nid yw'r hyblygrwydd hwnnw ar gael i ysgolion heb lawer o gymhwysedd i gael y grant datblygu disgyblion, a bellach, yn fy marn i, ceir risg o greu carfan o blant a phobl ifanc o dan anfantais addysgol, ac nid oes arnoch eisiau hynny - rwy'n gwbl sicr ynglŷn â hynny. Felly, clywais eich sylwadau mewn ymateb i Hefin David yn gynharach, pan sonioch chi am y fformiwla ariannu, felly nid wyf yn sôn am hynny. Ond a ydych yn agored i ailystyried y cydbwysedd o ran sut y caiff ysgolion eu hariannu rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru ac awdurdodau lleol ac yn gyffredinol, ac unwaith eto, mewn ffordd na chaiff ei hystyried yn ymosodiad ar y grant datblygu disgyblion, oherwydd yn sicr, nid dyna yw fy mwriad?
