English: Educational professionals have indeed been on the front line and holding the line as this country faces this epidemic, and I want to take this opportunity to thank them, each and every one of them, for what they have been doing, often in very difficult and stressful circumstances. Even when they have been worried about, perhaps, their own loved ones, they have had their pupils front and centre in their minds and have been absolutely dedicated in trying to provide as normal as possible an experience for our children and young people at this very worrying time. And as I said, they've been doing that under great, great pressure, for which I am very grateful. Of course, there will be a continuing role for teachers and teaching assistants, and we are in daily contact - my department is - with the teaching unions to discuss how best to take things forward. I met yesterday with the Council for Wales of Voluntary Youth Services to talk about the role of youth workers in this scenario. As I said, I earlier met with the leader of the WLGA to look at the plethora of professional staff that we have within our local authorities with the skills and the aptitude to be able to assist us as we move forward. I will update Members as those plans develop, but there is a role for everybody who has the appropriate qualifications, skills and knowledge to be working with our children at this time.
Welsh: Yn wir, mae gweithwyr addysg proffesiynol wedi bod ar y rheng flaen ac yn ein hamddiffyn wrth i'r wlad hon wynebu'r epidemig hwn, a hoffwn achub ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch iddynt, pob un ohonynt, am yr hyn y maent wedi bod yn ei wneud, yn aml mewn amgylchiadau anodd iawn. Hyd yn oed pan fyddant wedi bod yn poeni, efallai, am eu hanwyliaid eu hunain, mae eu disgyblion wedi bod yn hollbwysig iddynt ac maent wedi bod yn gwbl ymroddedig wrth geisio darparu profiad mor normal â phosibl i'n plant a'n pobl ifanc yn y cyfnod cythryblus hwn. Ac fel y dywedais, maent wedi bod yn gwneud hynny o dan bwysau enfawr, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn iddynt am hynny. Wrth gwrs, bydd rôl barhaus i'n hathrawon a'n cynorthwywyr addysgu ei chwarae, ac rydym mewn cysylltiad dyddiol - fy adran i - gydag undebau'r athrawon i drafod y ffordd orau o fwrw ymlaen â phethau. Cyfarfûm ddoe â Chyngor Cymreig y Gwasanaethau Ieuenctid Gwirfoddol i drafod rôl gweithwyr ieuenctid yn y senario hon. Fel y dywedais, cyfarfûm yn gynharach ag arweinydd CLlLC i edrych ar y llu o staff proffesiynol sydd gennym yn ein hawdurdodau lleol sydd â'r sgiliau a'r ddawn i allu ein cynorthwyo wrth inni symud ymlaen. Byddaf yn rhoi diweddariad i'r Aelodau wrth i'r cynlluniau hynny ddatblygu, ond mae rôl i bawb sydd â'r cymwysterau, y sgiliau a'r wybodaeth briodol i weithio gyda'n plant ar yr adeg hon.
English: Thank you. I just want to return to a couple of things that haven't been answered. I've asked them already - I'm sorry, I've asked you a lot of questions, I know - but I think this is important. What are the guidelines for the schools that have already closed? We know that there is a list of schools that have told parents that they've already closed this week. Will they be expected to reopen in their new role? And then, in terms of the new role of the school, how will you be dealing with complex safety issues for children, to ensure that the children who still go to school will still be secure within the education settings at present?
Welsh: Diolch. Dwi jest yn mynd i fynd yn ôl at gwpwl o bethau sydd ddim wedi cael eu hateb - dwi wedi'u gofyn nhw'n barod, ac mae'n ddrwg gen i, dwi wedi gofyn lot o gwestiynau, dwi'n gwybod. Felly, dwi'n meddwl bod hwn yn bwysig: beth ydy'r canllawiau i'r ysgolion sydd wedi cau yn barod? Rydyn ni'n gwybod bod yna restr o ysgolion sydd wedi anfon at y rhieni yn dweud, 'Rydyn ni wedi cau' yr wythnos yma. A oes disgwyl iddyn nhw ailagor yn eu rôl newydd nhw? Ac wedyn, o ran rôl newydd yr ysgol, beth fydd - ? Sut byddwch chi'n delio efo materion cymhleth diogelwch plant, i wneud yn siŵr bod y plant fydd yn dal yn mynd i'r ysgol yn parhau i fod yn ddiogel os nad ydy'r ysgolion yma'n cael eu diffinio fel 'sefydliadau addysgol' ar hyn o bryd?
English: I have to be absolutely clear to Members, I do not anticipate that, at the end of this extended Easter recess, we will be in a position to go back to schools as normal. I cannot give any guarantees and that should be nobody's expectation. So, we will not be expecting, nor do I envisage, that every school will be open. We will be working with local government partners to identify certain sites where these services can be organised and offered, but it is not my expectation that every single school will be opening and functioning as normal at the end of this Easter recess. Clearly, we will be keeping that situation under constant review, but we will be looking to work with local authorities to have the most pragmatic management of our resources as possible as we face this unprecedented pressure.
Welsh: Mae'n rhaid imi ddweud yn gwbl glir wrth yr Aelodau nad wyf yn rhagweld, ar ddiwedd y toriad estynedig hwn dros y Pasg, y byddwn mewn sefyllfa i fynd yn ôl i'r ysgol fel arfer. Ni allaf roi unrhyw warantau ac ni ddylai unrhyw un ddisgwyl hynny. Felly, ni fyddwn yn disgwyl, ac nid wyf yn rhagweld, y bydd pob ysgol ar agor. Byddwn yn gweithio gyda phartneriaid llywodraeth leol i nodi rhai safleoedd lle gellir trefnu a chynnig y gwasanaethau hyn, ond nid wyf yn disgwyl y bydd pob ysgol yn agor ac yn gweithredu fel arfer ar ôl toriad y Pasg. Yn amlwg, byddwn yn adolygu'r sefyllfa honno'n gyson, ond byddwn yn ceisio gweithio gydag awdurdodau lleol i reoli ein hadnoddau yn y ffordd fwyaf pragmatig wrth inni wynebu'r pwysau digynsail hwn.
English: Presiding Officer, I understand that you have given your permission for question 3 and 7 to be grouped. The Welsh Government and Public Health Wales have issued guidance to schools over education and other educational settings on the coronavirus, and the Member will be aware of my statement that I issued at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
Welsh: Lywydd, deallaf eich bod wedi caniatáu i gwestiynau 3 a 7 gael eu grwpio. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru ac Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru wedi cyhoeddi canllawiau i ysgolion ynghylch addysg a lleoliadau addysgol eraill ar y coronafeirws, a bydd yr Aelod yn ymwybodol o'r datganiad a wneuthum am 1 o'r gloch y prynhawn yma.
English: Thank you. And, again I'd like to put on record my thanks to everybody involved with the schools and teachers. As you quite rightly point out, it's a very anxious time for everyone. In the short time - . My questions were completely different but as things are changing by the minute and by the hour, already I've been asked - . Some teachers are expressing concerns regarding coursework deadlines, because these, of course, were intended to be in by Easter, and some pupils have 30 per cent of work left to complete, particularly so concerns around exam group years 11 and 13, so what are your instructions and guidance there? Will the WJEC and the Joint Council for Qualifications be putting a statement out at all? And another concern is online teaching - some now, with learning from home, believe that a lot of this will be carried out online. Well, as you're aware, in many rural communities they just don't have the broadband facilities, so what measures will you take to ensure that there is some kind of parity of expectation in terms of where - ? Certainly my own constituents, some of them their broadband is - well, they haven't got superfast broadband, so there will be complications there. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch. Ac unwaith eto, hoffwn gofnodi fy niolch i bawb sy'n ymwneud â'r ysgolion a'r athrawon. Fel y nodwch, yn gwbl gywir, mae'n gyfnod pryderus iawn i bawb. Yn yr amser byr - . Roedd fy nghwestiynau'n hollol wahanol, ond gan fod pethau'n newid bob munud a bob awr, gofynnwyd i mi eisoes - . Mae rhai athrawon yn mynegi pryderon ynghylch terfynau amser ar gyfer gwaith cwrs, gan mai'r bwriad oedd iddo gael ei gyflwyno erbyn y Pasg, ac mae gan rai disgyblion 30 y cant o'r gwaith ar ôl i'w gwblhau, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â grwpiau arholiadau blynyddoedd 11 a 13, felly beth yw eich cyfarwyddiadau a'ch arweiniad yn hynny o beth? A fydd CBAC a'r Cyd-Gyngor Cymwysterau yn cyhoeddi datganiad o gwbl? A phryder arall yw addysgu ar-lein - mae rhai pobl bellach, gyda dysgu gartref, yn credu y bydd llawer o hyn yn digwydd ar-lein. Wel, fel y gwyddoch, mewn llawer o gymunedau gwledig, nid oes ganddynt gyfleusterau band eang, felly pa fesurau y byddwch yn eu rhoi ar waith i sicrhau bod rhyw fath o gydraddoldeb yn y disgwyliadau o ran ble - ? Yn sicr, o ran fy etholwyr fy hun, mae band eang rhai ohonynt - wel, nid oes ganddynt fand eang cyflym iawn, felly bydd cymhlethdodau ynghlwm wrth hynny. Diolch.
English: I appreciate the answers you've given to date, Minister, and it is a very fast-moving situation. One of the questions that would have been asked many times today would have been about the opening of schools. You've already answered that question with your announcement before question time. I appreciate you've given timelines to, say, in the near future, and I'm not looking for a day, I'm not looking for a week, because I appreciate that's difficult at this time, but are we likely to get any more information around examinations by the end of the week or should we expect next week to get more information on that? Because I don't think it's an unreasonable assumption that many constituents are going to come to us - as I said, not looking for exact days, hours or minutes when the statement might come, but I think if we can give broad narratives of when this information might be available, that would be at least helpful at this stage. So, should we anticipate more information next week or might we get something by the end of the week?
Welsh: Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi'r atebion rydych chi wedi'u rhoi hyd yma, Weinidog, ac mae'n sefyllfa sy'n newid yn gyflym iawn. Un cwestiwn a fydd wedi'i ofyn sawl gwaith heddiw yw'r un am agor ysgolion. Rydych eisoes wedi ateb y cwestiwn hwnnw gyda'ch cyhoeddiad cyn y cwestiynau. Rwy'n sylweddoli eich bod wedi rhoi amserlenni hyd at bwynt, dyweder, yn y dyfodol agos, ac nid wyf yn edrych am ddiwrnod, nid wyf yn edrych am wythnos, gan fy mod yn derbyn bod hynny'n anodd ar hyn o bryd, ond a ydym yn debygol o gael unrhyw wybodaeth bellach ynghylch arholiadau erbyn diwedd yr wythnos, neu a ddylem ddisgwyl tan yr wythnos nesaf i gael mwy o wybodaeth am hynny? Oherwydd ni chredaf ei bod yn rhagdybiaeth afresymol y bydd llawer o etholwyr yn dod atom - fel y dywedais, nid wyf yn edrych am yr union ddyddiau, oriau neu funudau pan ddaw'r datganiad, ond os gallwn roi naratifau eang ynglŷn â pha bryd y gallai'r wybodaeth hon fod ar gael, credaf y byddai hynny o gymorth, o leiaf, ar hyn o bryd. Felly, a ddylem ddisgwyl mwy o wybodaeth yr wythnos nesaf, neu a allem gael rhywbeth erbyn diwedd yr wythnos?
English: Andrew, I appreciate how challenging the announcements on bringing forward the Easter recess will be to students, to teachers and parents, and I say that as a parent of a child that is in year 13 and is in year 11. So, I know how crucial and anxious children are. I would be very disappointed if we cannot make a further decision before the end of this week, because we will need to operationalise the processes around that decision.
Welsh: Andrew, rwy'n sylweddoli pa mor heriol fydd y cyhoeddiadau ar gael toriad y Pasg yn gynt i fyfyrwyr, i athrawon ac i rieni, a dywedaf hynny fel rhiant i blant sydd ym mlwyddyn 13 ac ym mlwyddyn 11. Felly, gwn pa mor hollbwysig yw hyn a pha mor bryderus yw plant. Buaswn yn siomedig iawn pe na allem wneud penderfyniad pellach cyn diwedd yr wythnos, gan y bydd angen inni roi'r prosesau sydd ynghlwm wrth y penderfyniad hwnnw ar waith.
English: Our national mission in Wales is to raise standards for all of our children. I was pleased to read in Estyn's 2018-19 annual report that standards are good or better in the majority of Welsh schools. However, it is very clear to me that improvements need to be made, especially in our secondary sector.
Welsh: Cenhadaeth ein cenedl yng Nghymru yw codi safonau ar gyfer pob un o'n plant. Roeddwn yn falch o ddarllen yn adroddiad blynyddol Estyn 2018-19 fod safonau'n dda neu'n well yn y rhan fwyaf o ysgolion Cymru. Fodd bynnag, mae'n amlwg iawn i mi fod angen gwneud gwelliannau, yn enwedig yn ein sector uwchradd.
English: When I tabled the question last week, my intention was to celebrate those improvements in standards, particularly in Hendre Infants School, Trinity Fields School, Nant Y Parc Primary School, St Cenydd Community School, and, most recently, Cylch Meithrin Tonyfelin. These improvements are very welcome, but things are changing with schools as we've seen with the discussion we've had today and the announcement you've made. Therefore, can I ask how will the Welsh Government consider the impact on the Welsh Government's own school categorisation system, and in future inspections, of what has happened in the last few weeks, particularly with parents who've kept their children out of school, although they've not been advised to do so, and teachers who may have been self-isolating and unable to attend? How can we be sure that that won't have a long-term effect on the school categorisation and the standards in schools across Wales?
Welsh: Pan gyflwynais y cwestiwn yr wythnos diwethaf, fy mwriad oedd dathlu'r gwelliannau yn y safonau, yn enwedig yn Ysgol Babanod Hendre, Ysgol Cae'r Drindod, Ysgol Gynradd Nant-y-Parc, Ysgol Gymunedol Sant Cenydd, ac yn fwyaf diweddar, Cylch Meithrin Tonyfelin. Mae croeso mawr i'r gwelliannau hyn, ond mae pethau'n newid gydag ysgolion, fel y gwelsom gyda'r drafodaeth a gawsom heddiw a'r cyhoeddiad a wnaethoch. Felly, a gaf fi ofyn sut y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystyried effaith yr hyn sydd wedi digwydd dros yr wythnosau diwethaf ar system gategoreiddio ysgolion Llywodraeth Cymru, ac unrhyw arolygiadau yn y dyfodol, yn enwedig gyda rhieni sydd wedi cadw eu plant o'r ysgol, er na chawsant eu cynghori i wneud hynny, ac athrawon sydd efallai wedi bod yn hunanynysu ac yn methu mynychu? Sut y gallwn fod yn sicr na fydd hynny'n cael effaith hirdymor ar gategoreiddio ysgolion ac ar safonau mewn ysgolion ledled Cymru?
English: Professional learning is crucial to ensuring that all staff - school staff - have the skills to deliver on our education reforms in Wales. We're expecting a profound transformation in the way that our practitioners think about professional learning in the light of the new curriculum, especially. As you can imagine, earlier this week, we had to stand down our professional learning offer. It was not appropriate at that time, when we needed all personnel to be in the classroom and not attending professional learning events.
Welsh: Mae dysgu proffesiynol yn hanfodol i sicrhau bod gan bob aelod o staff - staff ysgolion - sgiliau i gyflawni ein diwygiadau addysg yng Nghymru. Rydym yn disgwyl trawsnewidiad llwyr yn y ffordd y mae ein haddysgwyr yn meddwl am ddysgu proffesiynol yng ngoleuni'r cwricwlwm newydd, yn enwedig. Fel y gallwch ddychmygu, yn gynharach yr wythnos hon, bu'n rhaid inni dynnu ein cynnig dysgu proffesiynol yn ôl. Nid oedd yn briodol ar y pryd, pan oeddem angen i'r holl bersonél fod yn yr ystafell ddosbarth a pheidio â mynychu digwyddiadau dysgu proffesiynol.
English: No, and I totally understand that. In fact, I thought about withdrawing this question; I've withdrawn other ones today because I think that the most important thing we've got going on at the moment is, obviously, coronavirus. But I kept this one on because I know that, as the recess develops and we go into the summer, you will be looking at the development of teachers September onwards, and the question, actually, is, really, about supporting our teachers and giving them the ability to handle difficult children, children with behaviour management. I just wonder - not now, but going forward - . I've had a lot of concern from headteachers and teachers in my constituency where the teachers have not really been trained how to handle very disruptive, very aggressive primary schoolchildren. They don't want to ban them from school - that doesn't help anyone - but the teachers themselves need more resilience, more coping skills, more training, and I wondered if you would address that. And please will you forgive me - or give me some indulgence - but, when you make your statement next week, could I ask you to consider giving us an update on, if the schools are going to be closed for a longer period of time than perhaps just Easter, whether we'd be able to use school facilities for the children of very important front-line healthcare, social care workers, or what we might be able to do? Because if we take them out of our health and social care workforce, our pharmacists, our police, we're really stuck. Thank you.
Welsh: Na, ac rwy'n deall hynny'n iawn. Mewn gwirionedd, bûm yn meddwl tynnu'r cwestiwn hwn yn ôl; rwyf wedi tynnu rhai eraill yn ôl heddiw gan y credaf mai'r peth pwysicaf sy'n digwydd ar hyn o bryd, yn amlwg, yw'r coronafeirws. Ond cedwais yr un hwn gan y gwn, wrth i'r toriad barhau ac wrth inni ddod at yr haf, y byddwch yn edrych ar ddatblygiad athrawon o fis Medi ymlaen, ac mae'r cwestiwn, mewn gwirionedd, yn ymwneud â chefnogi ein hathrawon a rhoi'r gallu iddynt drin plant anodd, plant â phroblemau ymddygiad. Tybed - nid nawr, ond yn y dyfodol - . Mae penaethiaid ac athrawon yn fy etholaeth wedi mynegi llawer o bryderon am nad yw'r athrawon wedi cael eu hyfforddi sut i drin plant aflonyddgar ac ymosodol iawn mewn ysgolion cynradd. Nid ydynt am eu gwahardd o'r ysgol - nid yw hynny'n helpu unrhyw un - ond mae angen mwy o gadernid, mwy o sgiliau ymdopi, mwy o hyfforddiant ar yr athrawon eu hunain, a tybed a wnewch chi roi sylw i hynny? Ac a wnewch chi faddau i mi - neu fod yn amyneddgar â mi - ond pan fyddwch yn gwneud eich datganiad yr wythnos nesaf, a gaf fi ofyn ichi ystyried rhoi diweddariad inni, os yw'r ysgolion yn mynd i fod ar gau am gyfnod hwy o amser na'r Pasg yn unig efallai, p'un a fyddem yn gallu defnyddio cyfleusterau ysgolion ar gyfer plant gweithwyr gofal iechyd pwysig iawn ar y rheng flaen, gweithwyr gofal cymdeithasol, neu beth y gallem ei wneud? Oherwydd os ydym yn eu tynnu allan o'n gweithlu iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, ein fferyllwyr, ein heddlu, rydym mewn trafferth mawr. Diolch.
English: High-quality relationship and sexuality education has an important role to play in supporting learners in recognising healthy, safe relationships and understanding that. That's why relationship and sexuality education will be a mandatory part of our new curriculum.
Welsh: Mae gan addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb o ansawdd uchel ran bwysig i'w chwarae yn cynorthwyo dysgwyr i nodi ac i ddeall beth yw perthynas iach a diogel. Dyna pam y bydd addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb yn rhan orfodol o'n cwricwlwm newydd.
English: Thank you for your answer, Minister, and I do applaud you for making that a mandatory part of the curriculum. I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Hafan Cymru to discuss the Welsh Government-funded Spectrum project. I was very impressed by that, with the age-appropriate content around healthy relationships and domestic abuse that they offer to Welsh schools, and, crucially, free of charge as well, which is quite a rarity these days. When our schools do reconvene after the coronavirus epidemic is over, I'm sure that our pupils will need support in these areas more than ever. So, how is the Welsh Government encouraging schools in Wales to take up the sessions that Spectrum offers?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog, ac rwy'n eich canmol am wneud hynny'n rhan orfodol o'r cwricwlwm. Yn ddiweddar, cefais y pleser o gyfarfod â Hafan Cymru i drafod prosiect Sbectrwm a ariennir gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Gwnaeth argraff fawr arnaf, gyda'r cynnwys sy'n briodol i oedran ar berthnasoedd iach a cham-drin domestig y maent yn ei gynnig i ysgolion Cymru, ac yn hollbwysig, yn rhad ac am ddim hefyd, sy'n beth prin y dyddiau hyn. Pan fydd ein hysgolion yn ailymgynnull ar ôl i epidemig y coronafeirws ddod i ben, rwy'n siŵr y bydd angen mwy o gefnogaeth nag erioed ar ein disgyblion yn y meysydd hyn. Felly, sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn annog ysgolion yng Nghymru i fanteisio ar y sesiynau y mae Sbectrwm yn eu cynnig?
English: Can I, alongside Vikki, commend the work and the Spectrum project? Quite often in this Chamber we debate the issue of domestic violence and our response to domestic violence. One of the most effective things that we can do is to ensure that all of our children, no matter who they are, where they're from, understand what a healthy relationship looks like, understand their responsibilities in a relationship, but also understand their rights within a relationship and how to challenge behaviours and how to seek help if that is appropriate. That's how, eventually, I hope that we can tackle the scourge of domestic violence - by better educating all of our children and young people. You're right; there are a variety of ways in which we can promote the project and the fact that these resources and this training are free, and I would be happy to share some of those with Vikki once we're back in business, back to normal, and we can get our schools and our children back to normal as soon as we can.
Welsh: A gaf fi, ynghyd â Vikki, gymeradwyo'r gwaith hwn a phrosiect Sbectrwm? Yn eithaf aml yn y Siambr hon, rydym yn trafod mater trais domestig a'n hymateb i drais domestig. Un o'r pethau mwyaf effeithiol y gallwn eu gwneud yw sicrhau bod pob un o'n plant, ni waeth pwy ydynt, o ble maent yn dod, yn deall sut beth yw perthynas iach, yn deall eu cyfrifoldebau mewn perthynas, ond hefyd yn deall eu hawliau mewn perthynas a sut i herio ymddygiad a sut i geisio cymorth os yw hynny'n briodol. Yn y pen draw, dyna sut y gobeithiaf y gallwn fynd i'r afael â malltod trais domestig - drwy addysgu pob un o'n plant a'n pobl ifanc yn well. Rydych yn llygad eich lle; mae nifer o ffyrdd y gallwn hyrwyddo'r prosiect a'r ffaith bod yr adnoddau hyn a'r hyfforddiant hwn yn rhad ac am ddim, ac rwy'n fwy na pharod i rannu rhai o'r rheini â Vikki pan fyddwn yn ôl wrthi, ar waith fel arfer, a gallwn sicrhau bod ein hysgolion a'n plant yn ôl i'r arfer cyn gynted ag y gallwn.
English: Thank you, Mark. I am committed to ensuring an inclusive education system, in which all of our learners are effectively supported to overcome barriers to learning. Our ambitious additional learning needs reforms will drive improvements and raise awareness of ALN to ensure that all of our learners can achieve their full potential.
Welsh: Diolch, Mark. Rwyf wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau system addysg gynhwysol, lle mae pob un o'n dysgwyr yn cael eu cefnogi'n effeithiol i oresgyn rhwystrau rhag dysgu. Bydd ein diwygiadau uchelgeisiol i anghenion dysgu ychwanegol yn llywio gwelliannau ac yn codi ymwybyddiaeth o ADY i sicrhau y gall pob un o'n dysgwyr gyflawni eu potensial llawn.
