English: I thank Hefin David for those important points. I was very pleased to meet his constituent, Sheila Jones, while I was finance Minister responsible for the National Procurement Service, and it was largely as a result of the very important points that she and colleagues made that we revisited the framework that was then in place. We will now have 30 successful agencies on the framework and 22 of those agencies are Welsh suppliers. Hefin David is quite right, Llywydd, to say that a supply teacher recruited through an agency will have to have qualified teacher status. That's exactly as it should be; it's a requirement of the new framework, as will be minimum pay rates for qualified teachers, as will be the abolition of the Swedish derogation, which was particularly something that Sheila and her group were exercised about. There will be discretion. There's always been discretion at school level for schools either to use the framework or to recruit teachers outside the framework, and I think that that is an essential freedom that we recognise in the framework and want to sustain. I hear what the Member says about FE qualified teachers, and he's right, of course, that they don't have qualified teacher status and therefore can't be recruited as supply teachers under the framework. But one of the things that the Welsh Government has done and the education Minister has done is to introduce new part-time courses that mean that somebody qualified as an FE teacher who wants to become qualified with qualified teaching status - that within one term, they can now take the actions that are needed to convert themselves from an FE teacher into a full classroom teacher, and then, of course, they will be available to take advantage of all the new things that the new framework will provide.
Welsh: Diolchaf i Hefin David am y pwyntiau pwysig yna. Roeddwn i'n falch iawn o gyfarfod ei etholwr, Sheila Jones, pan oeddwn i'n Weinidog cyllid yn gyfrifol am y Gwasanaeth Caffael Cenedlaethol, ac yn bennaf o ganlyniad i'r pwyntiau pwysig iawn a wnaeth hi a'i chydweithwyr y gwnaethom ni ailystyried y fframwaith a oedd ar waith ar y pryd. Bydd gennym ni 30 o asiantaethau llwyddiannus ar y fframwaith erbyn hyn ac mae 22 o'r asiantaethau hynny yn gyflenwyr o Gymru. Mae Hefin David yn llygad ei lle, Llywydd, i ddweud y bydd yn rhaid i athro neu athrawes cyflenwi a gaiff ei recriwtio drwy asiantaeth fod â statws athro cymwysedig. Dyna'n union fel y dylai hi fod; mae'n un o ofynion y fframwaith newydd, fel y bydd cyfraddau tâl gofynnol ar gyfer athrawon cymwysedig, fel y bydd diddymu rhanddirymiad Sweden, a oedd yn rhywbeth penodol yr oedd Sheila a'i grŵp yn weithredol yn ei gylch. Bydd disgresiwn. Bu disgresiwn erioed ar lefel ysgolion i ysgolion naill ai defnyddio'r fframwaith neu i recriwtio athrawon y tu allan i'r fframwaith, a chredaf fod hwnnw'n rhyddid hanfodol yr ydym ni'n ei gydnabod yn y fframwaith ac yn awyddus i'w gynnal. Clywaf yr hyn y mae'r Aelod yn ei ddweud am athrawon cymwysedig mewn addysg bellach, ac mae'n iawn, wrth gwrs, nad oes ganddyn nhw statws athro cymwysedig ac felly na ellir eu recriwtio fel athrawon cyflenwi o dan y fframwaith. Ond un o'r pethau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ei wneud ac mae'r Gweinidog addysg wedi ei wneud yw cyflwyno cyrsiau rhan-amser newydd sy'n golygu bod rhywun sydd wedi cymhwyso fel athro neu athrawes addysg bellach sydd eisiau cymhwyso gyda statws addysgu cymwysedig - y gallan nhw o fewn un tymor erbyn hyn, gymryd y camau sydd eu hangen i newid eu hunain o fod yn athro neu athrawes AB i fod yn athro neu athrawes dosbarth gyflawn, ac yna, wrth gwrs, byddan nhw ar gael i fanteisio ar yr holl bethau newydd y bydd y fframwaith newydd yn eu darparu.
