English: Well, can I thank the Member for her personal and, indeed, her party's support for the inclusion of RSE in the curriculum and putting it on a statutory basis? I'm very grateful for that. I think we both understand why that is really important. You'll be aware that in the original document, 'Successful Futures', by Graham Donaldson, he made some specific recommendations on why some things should be explicit on the face of the Bill. I have added to that RSE in response to the work done by Professor Emma Renold of Cardiff University and the expert group that was created when they were very, very clear about the necessity of putting RSE on the face of the Bill and as a statutory element of the curriculum, given the importance of that subject, and also given the importance that is placed on this subject by young people themselves. We know from the work of the Youth Parliament here that life skills are an important priority for them, and they have been very positive about the inclusion of RSE on the face of the Bill. The Member asked the question about mental health. Well, she will be very familiar that health and well-being forms one of the six areas of learning and experience within the new curriculum. The inclusion and the focus that has been placed on those topics and that area of learning again is very welcome and puts us in a very different place from other education systems nearby us. I will be reflecting, as a result of the consultation on the White Paper, on how we will, through legislation, be able to make good on my desire to have a broad and balanced curriculum and to ensure that all six AoLEs and the 'what matters' statements that lie beneath them are adequately provided for in individual local school curricula.
Welsh: Wel, a gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei chefnogaeth bersonol, ac yn wir, cefnogaeth ei phlaid i gynnwys addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb yn y cwricwlwm ar sail statudol? Rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn am hynny. Credaf fod y ddwy ohonom yn deall pam fod hynny'n bwysig iawn. Yn y ddogfen wreiddiol, 'Dyfodol Llwyddiannus', gan Graham Donaldson, fe fyddwch yn gwybod ei fod wedi gwneud rhai argymhellion penodol ynghylch pam y dylai rhai pethau fod yn eglur ar wyneb y Bil. Rwyf wedi ychwanegu addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb at hynny mewn ymateb i'r gwaith a wnaed gan yr Athro Emma Renold o Brifysgol Caerdydd a'r grŵp arbenigol a grëwyd pan ddywedasant yn glir iawn fod angen sicrhau bod addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb ar wyneb y Bil ac yn elfen statudol o'r cwricwlwm, o gofio pwysigrwydd y pwnc hwnnw, ac o ystyried pwysigrwydd y pwnc hwn ym marn pobl ifanc eu hunain. Gwyddom o waith y Senedd Ieuenctid yma fod sgiliau byw yn flaenoriaeth bwysig iddynt, ac maent wedi bod yn gadarnhaol iawn ynghylch cynnwys addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb ar wyneb y Bil. Gofynnodd yr Aelod y cwestiwn ynglŷn ag iechyd meddwl. Wel, fe fydd hi'n gwybod bod iechyd a lles yn un o'r chwe maes dysgu a phrofiad yn y cwricwlwm newydd. Mae'r ffaith bod y pynciau hynny a'r maes dysgu hwnnw wedi eu cynnwys a'r ffocws a roddwyd arnynt eto yn galonogol iawn ac mae'n ein rhoi mewn sefyllfa wahanol iawn i systemau addysg eraill o'n cwmpas. Byddaf yn myfyrio, o ganlyniad i'r ymgynghoriad ar y Papur Gwyn, ar sut y byddwn, drwy ddeddfwriaeth, yn gallu gwireddu fy nyhead i gael cwricwlwm eang a chytbwys ac i sicrhau y darperir yn ddigonol ar gyfer pob un o'r chwe maes dysgu a phrofiad a'r datganiadau 'beth sy'n bwysig' oddi tanynt yng nghwricwla ysgolion lleol unigol.
