English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. Could I say I'm very pleased to hear that Plaid Cymru and the Conservative Party will be supporting the Order today? That is in line with the vast majority of the responses that the Government received in relation to its consultation. Over 80 per cent of the respondents to the consultation believe that it is the EWC that should accredit teacher training as we move forward in our initial teacher training reforms. If I turn to the point raised by the Chair of the CLAC committee, just to reassure him that my officials did place a copy of the accreditation criteria in the Members' library for their consideration. In addition, paragraph 1.1 of the explanatory memorandum made clear that the regulations would follow, subject to the Order we are debating today receiving the approval of the Assembly, and, as you have heard from officials, that is imminent. This approach was taken in order to ensure that we were not presuming the will of the National Assembly by pre-empting any decision to grant the council the functions of accrediting the programme of study of initial schoolteacher training. In addition, if the Assembly determined in a vote that the council should not have had the powers set out in this Order, the regulations setting out the requirements of the council to establish the accreditation of the initial schoolteacher training committee would have been superfluous. It's a question of timing, and we expect full scrutiny of the regulations that will come to pass. At present, I have no intention of changing the way in which the EWC is currently constituted, but, as you know, Llyr, the role and responsibilities of the EWC are developing. It's a new institution and we are constantly looking to see what the future will hold. So, as things develop, there may be opportunities to look at whether the body is constituted in a way that is fully reflective of all its roles and responsibilities. To be clear, this Order would require the EWC to set up a teacher training committee underneath those, and I would expect that to have a broad range of representatives who can really add value, and to ensure that the accreditation process is robust, and I would expect a wide membership of that. Can I assure Darren Millar that the professional standards for both teachers and school leaders will be published later on in the spring? I can assure you that they have been done in full collaboration with the teaching profession itself - not with the EWC, but actually with teachers. They're currently being trialled in some schools at the moment to receive feedback, and we're making progress in that regard. I'll give way.
Welsh: Diolch i chi, Lywydd. A gaf i ddweud fy mod i'n falch iawn o glywed y bydd Plaid Cymru a'r Blaid Geidwadol yn cefnogi'r Gorchymyn heddiw? Mae hynny yn unol â'r mwyafrif helaeth o'r ymatebion y cafodd y Llywodraeth i'r ymgynghoriad arno. Mae dros 80 y cant o'r rhai a ymatebodd i'r ymgynghoriad o'r farn mai'r Cyngor Gweithlu Addysg ddylai achredu hyfforddiant athrawon wrth i ni symud ymlaen yn ein diwygiadau i hyfforddiant cychwynnol athrawon. Os caf i droi at y pwynt a godwyd gan Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol, dim ond er mwyn rhoi sicrwydd iddo fod fy swyddogion i wedi rhoi copi o'r meini prawf achredu yn llyfrgell yr Aelodau i'w hystyried. Hefyd, mae paragraff 1.1 o'r memorandwm esboniadol yn glir y byddai'r rheoliadau yn dilyn, yn amodol ar gymeradwyaeth y Cynulliad o'r Gorchymyn yr ydym yn ei drafod heddiw, ac, fel yr ydych wedi clywed gan swyddogion, mae hynny ar fin digwydd. Defnyddiwyd y dull hwn er mwyn sicrhau nad ydym yn rhagdybio ewyllys y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol drwy achub y blaen ar unrhyw benderfyniad i roi i'r cyngor swyddogaethau achredu'r rhaglen astudio hyfforddiant cychwynnol athrawon. Hefyd, os bydd y Cynulliad yn penderfynu drwy bleidlais na ddylai'r cyngor fod wedi cael y pwerau a nodir yn y Gorchymyn hwn, byddai'r rheoliadau sy'n nodi gofynion y cyngor i sefydlu achrediad y pwyllgor hyfforddiant cychwynnol athrawon yn ddiangen. Mae'n fater o amseru, ac rydym yn disgwyl y bydd craffu llawn o'r rheoliadau a gaiff eu cyflwyno. Ar hyn o bryd, nid oes gennyf unrhyw fwriad i newid sut y mae'r Cyngor Gweithlu Addysg yn cael ei gyfansoddi, ond, fel y gwyddoch, Llŷr, mae swyddogaeth a chyfrifoldebau'r Cyngor Gweithlu Addysg yn datblygu. Mae'n sefydliad newydd ac rydym o hyd yn edrych i weld beth fydd y dyfodol yn ei gynnig. Felly, wrth i bethau ddatblygu, efallai y daw cyfle i edrych i weld a yw'r corff wedi ei gyfansoddi mewn ffordd sy'n adlewyrchu'n llawn ei holl swyddogaethau a chyfrifoldebau. I fod yn glir, byddai'r Gorchymyn hwn yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i'r Cyngor Gweithlu Addysg sefydlu pwyllgor hyfforddi athrawon o dan y rheini, a byddwn i'n disgwyl i hynny gynnwys ystod eang o gynrychiolwyr a all ychwanegu gwerth gwirioneddol, a sicrhau bod y broses achredu yn gadarn, a byddwn i'n disgwyl aelodaeth eang o hynny. A gaf i sicrhau Darren Millar y bydd y safonau proffesiynol ar gyfer athrawon ac arweinwyr ysgolion yn cael eu cyhoeddi yn ddiweddarach yn y gwanwyn? Gallaf eich sicrhau eu bod wedi eu llunio mewn cydweithrediad llawn â'r proffesiwn addysgu ei hun - nid â'r Cyngor Gweithlu Addysg, ond gydag athrawon. Maen nhw'n cael eu treialu ar hyn o bryd mewn rhai ysgolion i gael adborth arnyn nhw, ac rydym ni'n gwneud cynnydd yn hynny o beth. Ildiaf.
