English: Minister, of course, the amount per pupil goes up marginally every time there's an announcement of a rise in teachers' pay and pensions. I was very grateful to you for your statement yesterday. I wonder whether you can just confirm that the £12.8 million that you mentioned in that statement is part of the £14 million mentioned last year, or whether it's coming from a completely different source. I'm sure you'll agree that the £195 million announced from the UK Government in the spending round will actually make this easier, going forward, as well, particularly as teachers' pay has now been devolved. I just want to go back to the question Paul Davies raised with you. You, of course, have no control over this money once it hits the revenue support grant. I'm wondering what steps you will take against councils who don't actually pass this money on to schools, particularly as there's a risk that if they don't do so they will continue to lose teachers, let alone see schools affected by the wider points that, actually, Neil McEvoy was making.
Welsh: Weinidog, wrth gwrs, mae'r swm fesul disgybl yn codi fymryn bob tro y ceir cyhoeddiad o gynnydd yng nghyflogau a phensiynau athrawon. Roeddwn yn ddiolchgar iawn i chi am eich datganiad ddoe. Tybed a allwch gadarnhau a yw'r £12.8 miliwn y sonioch amdano yn y datganiad hwnnw yn rhan o'r £14 miliwn a grybwyllwyd y llynedd, neu a yw'n dod o ffynhonnell hollol wahanol. Rwy'n siŵr eich bod yn cytuno y bydd y £195 miliwn a gyhoeddwyd gan Lywodraeth y DU yn y rownd wario'n gwneud hyn yn haws hefyd yn y dyfodol, yn enwedig gan fod cyflogau athrawon bellach wedi'u datganoli. Hoffwn ddychwelyd at y cwestiwn a ofynnodd Paul Davies i chi. Wrth gwrs, nid oes gennych unrhyw reolaeth dros yr arian hwn pan fydd yn taro'r grant cynnal refeniw. Tybed pa gamau y byddwch yn eu cymryd yn erbyn cynghorau nad ydynt yn trosglwyddo'r arian hwn i ysgolion, yn enwedig gan fod perygl, os na fyddant yn gwneud hynny, y byddant yn parhau i golli athrawon, heb sôn am weld ysgolion yn cael eu heffeithio gan y pwyntiau ehangach a wnaed gan Neil McEvoy.
English: Okay. So, the money that was announced yesterday, the £12.8 million in-year to support local authorities with the costs of implementing the teachers' pay rise, is new money, in addition, being made available by my colleague the finance Minister. It should be said that we have received not a single penny of consequentials from the Westminster Government to pay for the teachers' pay rise, because in England it has been paid out of a £50 million underspend within that departmental budget. Going forward, I and the Minister for local government have had conversations with colleagues in local government about the need to spend this additional money on its intended purposes, i.e. support for teachers' pay. My understanding is that both of us have received assurances from local authorities that that money will be spent for that purpose.
Welsh: Iawn. Felly, mae'r arian a gyhoeddwyd ddoe, y £12.8 miliwn yn ystod y flwyddyn i gynorthwyo awdurdodau lleol gyda chostau gweithredu'r codiad yng nghyflogau athrawon, yn arian newydd ychwanegol, sy'n cael ei ddarparu gan fy nghyd-Aelod, y Gweinidog cyllid. Dylid nodi nad ydym wedi derbyn yr un geiniog o gyllid canlyniadol gan Lywodraeth San Steffan i dalu am y codiad yng nghyflogau athrawon, oherwydd yn Lloegr, fe'i talwyd o danwariant o £50 miliwn yn y gyllideb adrannol honno. Wrth symud ymlaen, mae'r Gweinidog llywodraeth leol a minnau wedi cael sgyrsiau gyda chydweithwyr mewn llywodraeth leol am yr angen i wario'r arian ychwanegol hwn ar y dibenion a fwriadwyd ar ei gyfer, h.y. cymorth tuag at gyflogau athrawon. Yn ôl fy nealltwriaeth i, mae'r ddwy ohonom wedi cael sicrwydd gan awdurdodau lleol y bydd yr arian hwnnw'n cael ei wario at y diben hwnnw.
English: I believe education needs a greater proportion of the Welsh budget, and that a highly educated workforce is the best economic development tool we can have. On the additional money announced for the teachers' pay award, which you announced yesterday, is it going to be distributed via the funding formula to local authorities and then on to schools, which will produce winners and losers, or allocated to schools to meet the increased costs on a cost basis? It does make a huge difference which way you do it, because if you do it by just putting it in the formula, you'll have winners and losers amongst local authorities and winners and losers amongst schools.
Welsh: Credaf fod angen gwario cyfran fwy o gyllideb Cymru ar addysg, ac mai gweithlu tra addysgedig yw'r offeryn gorau y gallwn ei gael at ddibenion datblygu economaidd. O ran yr arian ychwanegol a gyhoeddwyd ar gyfer dyfarniad cyflogau athrawon, a gyhoeddwyd gennych ddoe, a fydd yn cael ei ddosbarthu drwy'r fformiwla ariannu i awdurdodau lleol ac yna ymlaen i ysgolion, rhywbeth sy'n mynd i arwain at enillwyr a chollwyr, neu a fydd yn cael ei ddyrannu i ysgolion i ddiwallu'r costau uwch ar sail cost? Mae sut rydych yn gwneud hynny'n gwneud gwahaniaeth enfawr, oherwydd os gwnewch hynny drwy ei roi yn y fformiwla yn unig, bydd gennych enillwyr a chollwyr ymhlith awdurdodau lleol ac enillwyr a chollwyr ymhlith ysgolion.
English: I agree with you, Mike, with regard to the importance of investing in education. It is an investment; it's not a cost. If we want to develop the high skills that we will need for a successful economy in the future, the best thing that we can do is invest in our children and in those who work with them every day. The allocation is agreed between us and the local authorities, and will be done on the basis of their fair share of that additional £12.8 million that we've been able to make available to them.
Welsh: Rwy'n cytuno â chi, Mike, o ran pwysigrwydd buddsoddi mewn addysg. Mae'n fuddsoddiad; nid yw'n gost. Os ydym am ddatblygu'r sgiliau uchel y bydd eu hangen arnom ar gyfer economi lwyddiannus yn y dyfodol, y peth gorau y gallwn ei wneud yw buddsoddi yn ein plant ac yn y rhai sy'n gweithio gyda hwy bob dydd. Cytunir ar y dyraniad rhyngom ni a'r awdurdodau lleol, a chaiff ei wneud ar sail eu cyfran deg o'r £12.8 miliwn ychwanegol hwnnw rydym wedi gallu ei ddarparu iddynt.
English: Thank you very much. Preventing homelessness requires a holistic approach across all public services. However, within education, the youth service is playing a key role in tackling and preventing homelessness. This is supported through our wider education reform, including our new curriculum and the introduction of a whole-school approach to mental health and well-being.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Mae angen ymagwedd gyfannol ar draws yr holl wasanaethau cyhoeddus er mwyn atal digartrefedd. Fodd bynnag, ym maes addysg, mae'r gwasanaeth ieuenctid yn chwarae rhan allweddol yn atal a mynd i'r afael â digartrefedd. Cefnogir hyn drwy ein gwaith ehangach ar ddiwygio addysg, gan gynnwys ein cwricwlwm newydd a chyflwyno dull ysgol gyfan o ymdrin ag iechyd meddwl a llesiant.
English: Thank you for that encouraging answer. I'm sure you'll be encouraged by the Youth Parliament also calling for a greater focus on skills in our educational system. The skill of living, the skill of keeping a tenancy going, and the skill of knowing where to go for help when things break down is an essential one, I would say. In those classes that promote citizenship, social awareness and health and well-being, as you referred to, I really do think we need to focus on this great scourge, because one of the worst things that can happen to you is that you're homeless or, indeed, end up on the streets as a rough-sleeper. I think this is where we need to start to tackle the problem, just making people more aware of what to do, and schools and colleges have a great part to play here.
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb calonogol. Rwy'n siŵr y bydd y ffaith bod y Senedd Ieuenctid hefyd yn galw am fwy o ffocws ar sgiliau yn ein system addysgol yn eich calonogi. Mae'r sgil o fyw, y sgil o gynnal tenantiaeth, a'r sgil o wybod ble i ofyn am gymorth pan fydd pethau'n mynd o chwith yn un hanfodol, yn fy marn i. Yn y dosbarthiadau sy'n hyrwyddo dinasyddiaeth, ymwybyddiaeth gymdeithasol ac iechyd a lles, fel y sonioch, rwy'n meddwl o ddifrif fod angen inni ganolbwyntio ar y broblem fawr hon, gan mai un o'r pethau gwaethaf a all ddigwydd i chi yw eich bod yn ddigartref, neu'n wir, yn cysgu allan ar y strydoedd. Credaf mai dyma lle mae angen i ni ddechrau mynd i'r afael â'r broblem, sicrhau bod pobl yn fwy ymwybodol o'r hyn y dylent ei wneud, ac mae gan ysgolion a cholegau ran hanfodol i'w chwarae yn hyn o beth.
English: I couldn't agree with you more, David; I'm sure all of us with an interest in these issues will have been impressed by the strength of the call from members of our Youth Parliament for reform of the education system, and the need to balance their education system, yes, with subject knowledge and qualifications, but also with those essential skills that they feel they need to be the successful adults that they want to be when they leave school. And I look forward to joining with members of the Youth Parliament on Friday of this week to discuss the contents of that report, and how our reform journey can respond as positively as possible to that call from young people themselves about what they see to be the current deficit in the education model that we have. We also know, David, that the warning signs of potentially becoming NEET are also a good indicator of a warning sign of a young person that is in danger of becoming homeless. So, there is work that we need to do within schools about ensuring that children are participating in school, attending, and not in danger of dropping out, because that is a very good warning sign to us that they potentially could go on to be homeless. So, there are many things, as I said, that we're doing at the moment, including additional investment, specifically in the youth service, to work alongside schools and young people on a preventing homelessness agenda, which I think will deliver real benefits for children and young people, as well as our wider curriculum reform and the opportunity that affords us to address the issues of skills.
Welsh: Rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr â chi, David; rwy'n siŵr y bydd pob un ohonom sydd â diddordeb yn y materion hyn wedi ein calonogi gan gryfder yr alwad gan aelodau o'n Senedd Ieuenctid am ddiwygio'r system addysg, a'r angen i gydbwyso eu system addysg, ie, â gwybodaeth am bynciau a chymwysterau, ond hefyd â'r sgiliau hanfodol y teimlant fod eu hangen arnynt er mwyn bod yn oedolion llwyddiannus pan fyddant yn gadael yr ysgol. Ac edrychaf ymlaen at ymuno ag aelodau o'r Senedd Ieuenctid ddydd Gwener yr wythnos hon i drafod cynnwys yr adroddiad hwnnw, a sut y gall ein taith ddiwygio ymateb mewn ffordd mor gadarnhaol â phosibl i'r alwad gan ein pobl ifanc eu hunain am yr hyn y maent yn ei ystyried yn ddiffyg ar hyn o bryd yn y model addysg sydd gennym. Gwyddom hefyd, David, fod yr arwyddion ynghylch y posibilrwydd o ddod yn NEET hefyd yn ddangosyddion da o arwydd fod unigolyn ifanc mewn perygl o fynd yn ddigartref. Felly, mae angen inni wneud gwaith mewn ysgolion ar sicrhau bod plant yn cymryd rhan yn yr ysgol, yn mynychu, ac nid mewn perygl o adael, gan fod hynny'n arwydd da iawn i ni y gallent fynd yn ddigartref o bosibl. Felly, fel y dywedais, mae llawer o bethau rydym yn eu gwneud ar hyn o bryd, gan gynnwys buddsoddiad ychwanegol, yn benodol yn y gwasanaeth ieuenctid, i weithio ochr yn ochr ag ysgolion a phobl ifanc ar agenda atal digartrefedd, a fydd, yn fy marn i, yn sicrhau manteision gwirioneddol i blant a phobl ifanc, yn ogystal â'n diwygiadau ehangach i'r cwricwlwm a'r cyfle y mae hynny'n ei roi i ni fynd i'r afael â materion yn ymwneud â sgiliau.
English: Like austerity, homelessness is a political choice; it's a political choice made by politicians and by Government, and some people are of the view that homeless people themselves choose to be in that predicament, which is obviously complete rubbish. But that view is reinforced by authorities who clear homeless people out of the way, remove their belongings when they want to, and treat people generally with very little understanding and empathy. The only way to change attitudes is through education, and one of the best ways to educate is through direct experience. So, how can homeless people's direct experience help to inform young people to learn about this social disease, and do you think that links with direct experience will help people to become more sympathetic?
Welsh: Fel cyni, mae digartrefedd yn ddewis gwleidyddol; mae'n ddewis gwleidyddol a wneir gan wleidyddion a chan y Llywodraeth, ac mae rhai pobl o'r farn fod pobl ddigartref eu hunain yn dewis bod yn y sefyllfa honno, sy'n amlwg yn rwtsh llwyr. Ond caiff y farn honno ei hatgyfnerthu gan awdurdodau sy'n symud pobl ddigartref allan o'r ffordd, yn cael gwared ar eu heiddo ar fympwy, ac yn trin pobl yn gyffredinol heb fawr ddim dealltwriaeth nac empathi. Yr unig ffordd o newid agweddau yw drwy addysg, ac un o'r ffyrdd gorau o addysgu yw drwy brofiad uniongyrchol. Felly, sut y gall profiadau uniongyrchol pobl ddigartref helpu i lywio pobl ifanc i ddysgu am y clefyd cymdeithasol hwn, ac a ydych yn credu y bydd cysylltiadau â phrofiad uniongyrchol yn helpu pobl i fod yn fwy sympathetig?
English: First of all, Leanne, can I say I have never believed, and I will never believe, that homelessness is a choice? It is the result of a set of circumstances that many of us in this Chamber hopefully will never know, but all of us could potentially be. A critical illness, a relationship breakdown, a drug or alcohol misuse problem can lead to this, so we should be very careful when we make those kinds of accusations and assertions about what leads to homelessness. It can happen to everybody regardless of where their starting position in life is, but we do know there are some people who are potentially more vulnerable to homelessness. And you're right that education can be a powerful tool in preventing homelessness, but also developing understanding of that problem for people who experience it. There is a reason why in our new curriculum we talk about areas of learning and experience, because my expectation of the curriculum is that it will afford the space in the school day for children to exactly experience what you have talked about - to be able to meet with people and to discuss with people who have that direct experience of what it is to live without a secure home, what it is to live out on the streets. And I believe our new curriculum creates that space and the expectation that we can work with voluntary organisations, organisations of survivors of all types of issues, that we can work together in our schools to deliver that broad education that our Youth Parliament is calling upon us to do.
Welsh: Yn gyntaf, Leanne, a gaf fi ddweud nad wyf erioed wedi bod o'r farn, ac ni fyddaf byth o'r farn, fod digartrefedd yn ddewis? Mae'n ganlyniad i gyfres o amgylchiadau na fydd llawer ohonom yn y Siambr hon yn eu hwynebu, gobeithio, ond fe allai ddigwydd i unrhyw un ohonom. Gall salwch difrifol, chwalfa perthynas, problemau camddefnyddio cyffuriau neu alcohol arwain at hyn, felly dylem fod yn ofalus iawn wrth wneud y mathau hynny o gyhuddiadau a honiadau ynghylch yr hyn sy'n arwain at ddigartrefedd. Gall ddigwydd i bawb, o ble bynnag y byddant yn cychwyn mewn bywyd, ond gwyddom fod rhai pobl a allai fod yn fwy agored i ddigartrefedd. Ac rydych yn iawn y gall addysg fod yn arf pwerus i atal digartrefedd, ond hefyd i ddatblygu dealltwriaeth o'r broblem i'r bobl sy'n ei hwynebu. Mae rheswm pam ein bod yn siarad am feysydd dysgu a phrofiad yn ein cwricwlwm newydd, oherwydd fy nisgwyliad o ran y cwricwlwm yw y bydd yn darparu lle yn y diwrnod ysgol i blant brofi'r union beth y buoch yn sôn amdano - gallu cyfarfod â phobl a thrafod â phobl sydd â'r profiad uniongyrchol o fyw heb gartref diogel, o fyw ar y strydoedd. A chredaf fod ein cwricwlwm newydd yn creu'r lle hwnnw a'r disgwyliad y gallwn weithio gyda sefydliadau gwirfoddol, sefydliadau goroeswyr pob math o broblemau, y gallwn weithio gyda'n gilydd yn ein hysgolion i ddarparu'r addysg eang honno y mae ein Senedd Ieuenctid yn galw arnom i'w darparu.
English: Andrew, I continue to have discussions with the Minister for finance to ensure that the budget settlement for education is sufficient to support delivery of our priorities. This includes ensuring that our education bodies receive adequate funding.
Welsh: Andrew, rwy'n parhau i gael trafodaethau gyda'r Gweinidog cyllid i sicrhau bod y setliad cyllideb ar gyfer addysg yn ddigon i gefnogi'r gwaith o gyflawni ein blaenoriaethau. Mae hyn yn cynnwys sicrhau bod ein cyrff addysg yn derbyn cyllid digonol.
English: Thank you for that answer, Minister. I've had correspondence with the headteacher and chairman of governors from Evenlode Primary School in Penarth who have highlighted the real difficult and challenging financial environment they and many other schools face across Wales. Hopefully, there will be consequentials flowing from the announcements made in Westminster, and some of those consequentials, obviously, are directly in your field of education. Are you confident that those consequentials, when the Welsh Government makes its decisions, will find themselves in the education budget so that the shortage of teachers that are available to fill many of the key posts that primary schools need to fill will be there and the budgets will be there to pay them? The evidence that they provided me has shown that across Wales there are nearly 1,300 extra pupils but there are 278 fewer full-time equivalent teachers and 533 fewer full-time equivalent teaching support staff. So, obviously, if the budget is there, then schools can go out and obviously make these employment choices. So, can we have an assurance that those consequentials will find their way into your budget lines?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog. Rwyf wedi bod yn gohebu â phennaeth a chadeirydd llywodraethwyr Ysgol Gynradd Evenlode ym Mhenarth sydd wedi tynnu sylw at yr amgylchedd ariannol gwirioneddol anodd a heriol y maent hwy a llawer o ysgolion eraill ledled Cymru yn ei wynebu. Gobeithio y bydd cyllid canlyniadol yn deillio o'r cyhoeddiadau a wnaed yn San Steffan, ac mae peth o'r cyllid canlyniadol hwnnw, yn amlwg, yn rhan uniongyrchol o'ch maes chi, sef addysg. A ydych yn hyderus y bydd y cyllid canlyniadol hwnnw, pan fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwneud ei phenderfyniadau, yn cyrraedd y gyllideb addysg fel y bydd yr athrawon ar gael i lenwi llawer o'r swyddi allweddol y mae angen i ysgolion cynradd eu llenwi ac y bydd y cyllidebau yno i'w talu? Mae'r dystiolaeth a ddarparwyd ganddynt wedi dangos bod bron i 1,300 o ddisgyblion ychwanegol ledled Cymru, ond bod 278 yn llai o athrawon cyfwerth ag amser llawn a 533 yn llai o staff cymorth addysgu cyfwerth ag amser llawn. Felly, yn amlwg, os yw'r gyllideb yno, gall ysgolion, yn amlwg, wneud y dewisiadau hyn ynghylch cyflogaeth. Felly, a allwn gael sicrwydd y bydd y cyllid canlyniadol hwnnw'n cyrraedd eich llinellau cyllideb?
English: As I said in answer to earlier questions, Andrew, we are working across Government to prioritise front-line services, whether that be education, social services or the range of other public services that the members of the public expect this Welsh Government to deliver. The vast majority of education funding does not come from the education department. It comes, as was identified by your leader earlier on in questions, via the revenue support grant for local government. We will do everything that we can to ensure both education and local government get a great deal in this budget.
Welsh: Fel y dywedais wrth ateb cwestiynau cynharach, Andrew, rydym yn gweithio ar draws y Llywodraeth i flaenoriaethu gwasanaethau rheng flaen, boed hynny'n addysg, gwasanaethau cymdeithasol neu'r ystod o wasanaethau cyhoeddus eraill y mae aelodau'r cyhoedd yn disgwyl i Lywodraeth Cymru eu darparu. Nid yw'r mwyafrif llethol o gyllid addysg yn dod o'r adran addysg. Mae'n dod, fel y nodwyd gan eich arweinydd yn gynharach mewn cwestiynau, drwy'r grant cynnal refeniw ar gyfer llywodraeth leol. Byddwn yn gwneud popeth a allwn i sicrhau bod addysg a llywodraeth leol yn cael yn dda yn y gyllideb hon.
English: Thank you, Andrew, for raising this very important question. Like Andrew R.T. Davies, I too have had many talks with local high schools and primary schools but also with the local authority as well, and I welcome the announcement made yesterday, and that was actually my line of questioning to that. So, I welcome that and thank you, Minister, but can you just reassure the Assembly that those cross-Cabinet conversations will continue over the next few years? It's clearly uncertain and worrying times for local authorities and school providers.
Welsh: Diolch am godi'r cwestiwn pwysig hwn, Andrew. Fel Andrew R.T. Davies, rwyf innau hefyd wedi cael llawer o sgyrsiau gydag ysgolion uwchradd lleol ac ysgolion cynradd ond hefyd gyda'r awdurdod lleol, a chroesawaf y cyhoeddiad a wnaed ddoe, ac roedd fy nghwestiynau'n ymwneud â hynny, mewn gwirionedd. Felly, rwy'n croesawu hynny a diolch, Weinidog, ond a allwch roi sicrwydd i'r Cynulliad y bydd y sgyrsiau traws-Gabinet hynny'n parhau dros yr ychydig flynyddoedd nesaf? Mae'n amlwg yn adeg ansicr a phryderus i awdurdodau lleol a darparwyr ysgolion.
English: Presiding Officer, can I thank Jack Sargeant for his welcome of the additional resources that we've been able to make available to help cover the costs of teachers' pay rises? And, yes, I absolutely can confirm that those discussions, on a cross-Cabinet basis, will continue and there is a determination across the entirety of Welsh Government to prioritise front-line spending on those public services that mean the most to our constituents.
Welsh: Lywydd, a gaf fi ddiolch i Jack Sargeant am groesawu'r adnoddau ychwanegol rydym wedi gallu eu darparu i helpu i dalu am gostau'r codiadau yng nghyflogau athrawon? A gallaf, fe allaf gadarnhau'n bendant y bydd y trafodaethau hynny, ar sail draws-Gabinet, yn parhau a bod agwedd benderfynol ar draws Llywodraeth Cymru i flaenoriaethu gwariant rheng flaen ar y gwasanaethau cyhoeddus sy'n golygu fwyaf i'n hetholwyr.
English: Thank you, Lynne. As you know, we launched together on 10 September the new guidance and we will continue to work with partners, including the national advisory group, to ensure that it is promoted extensively amongst professionals, not just in schools but more widely across the system. And as part of our whole-school approach, we will consider how best to monitor its implementation, take-up and impact.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Lynne. Fel y gwyddoch, fe wnaethom lansio'r canllawiau newydd gyda'n gilydd ar 10 Medi a byddwn yn parhau i weithio gyda phartneriaid, gan gynnwys y grŵp cynghori cenedlaethol, i sicrhau eu bod yn cael ei hyrwyddo'n helaeth ymhlith gweithwyr proffesiynol, nid yn unig mewn ysgolion ond yn ehangach ar draws y system. Ac fel rhan o'n dull ysgol gyfan, byddwn yn ystyried y ffordd orau o fonitro'r broses o'u rhoi ar waith, eu defnydd a'u heffaith.
