English: I thank the Member for those further questions. I also attended the event earlier today, and listened to the evidence from a teacher, who happens to be from my own constituency, discussing her experience of being in school and providing that broader support, which is required because of the situation faced by many families. That's certainly something that's happening elsewhere too. In terms of our work as a Government, what we are endeavouring to do is that we provide support in order to reduce the likelihood of that happening, perhaps through providing support to those families who are most in need of support, for example, in terms of cost of living, in terms of school uniform and events at school, but also, a she will be aware, the work that we are doing along with Plaid Cymru in terms of extending free school meals. So, there are a number of things that we are doing with the intention of reducing the pressures on those families who are having most difficulty. But in a situation such as the one that we see now, with the broader social pressures on families, the situation, as was described to us earlier today, is very sad indeed. So, what we're doing is ensuring that we're providing all the support that we possibly can to the families who need that most. In terms of attendance targets, there are no statutory targets at the moment, for the reasons that she outlined, in terms of the pressures currently on schools. But it's also important that we do support our teachers in ensuring that pupils do return. We know that over COVID that's been very challenging for many schools. We've provided specific funding to ensure that we can support schools that need that support to remake connections with families, where perhaps children aren't attending school. So we're doing our best to support teachers to ensure that that happens, rather than putting in place statutory targets at the moment. But it is right that schools do look at that. It's an aim of the education system to have our children in the classroom, so that is important work that teachers are doing. In terms of her final point, in terms of teaching assistants, I perhaps responded to some of that in answering Tom Giffard. I attended a meeting yesterday and this morning with the schools social partnership council discussing the pressures on school staff, in light of the cost-of-living crisis. So, it's an issue for families, as well as teachers and TAs. This was a theme of a meeting that I attended yesterday that the EPI had arranged to hear what's happening elsewhere in the UK, and it's a debate that's being had elsewhere too. So, it's priority to ensure that we enhance the terms of TAs. We do have some of the powers, but other powers rest with local authorities and there's a lot of work to be done in order to ensure that we do improve the situation in this area. We've started that work; it's going relatively well, but there's more to be done.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiynau pellach hynny. Roeddwn i hefyd yn yr achlysur yn gynharach heddiw, ac yn gwrando ar dystiolaeth gan athro, sydd, fel mae'n digwydd, yn fy etholaeth i, yn sôn am ei phrofiad hi o fod mewn dosbarth ac yn darparu'r gefnogaeth ehangach hynny, a'r galw sydd arni i wneud hynny oherwydd y sefyllfa mae amryw o deuluoedd yn ei hwynebu. Mae hynny, yn sicr, yn rhywbeth sy'n digwydd mewn mannau eraill hefyd, yn amlwg. O ran ein gwaith ni fel Llywodraeth, yr hyn rŷn ni'n ceisio ei wneud yw sicrhau ein bod ni'n darparu cefnogaeth er mwyn lleihau'r tebygolrwydd o hynny'n digwydd, efallai drwy gefnogaeth i deuluoedd sydd angen y fwyaf o gefnogaeth, er enghraifft, â chostau byw, o ran gwisg ysgol, o ran digwyddiadau yn yr ysgol, ond hefyd, fel bydd hi'n gwybod, y gwaith rŷn ni'n ei wneud ar y cyd gyda Phlaid Cymru o ran ymestyn prydau bwyd. Felly, mae amryw o bethau i wneud gyda'r nod o leihau'r pwysau ar y teuluoedd hynny sy'n ei chael hi anoddaf. Ond, mewn sefyllfa fel rŷn ni'n gweld ar hyn o bryd, â'r pwysau cymdeithasol ehangach ar deuluoedd, mae'r sefyllfa, fel oedd yn cael ei disgrifio i ni heddiw, yn un drist iawn. Ac, felly, yr hyn rŷn ni'n ei wneud yw sicrhau ein bod ni'n darparu'r gefnogaeth gallwn ni i'r teuluoedd sydd angen hynny fwyaf. O ran targedau presenoldeb, does dim targedau statudol ar hyn o bryd, am y rheswm mae hi'n sôn amdano, o ran pwysau ar ysgolion. Ond mae hefyd yn bwysig ein bod ni'n cefnogi ein hathrawon i sicrhau bod disgyblion yn dod nôl. Rydyn ni'n gwybod dros y cyfnod COVID bod hynny wedi bod yn heriol i amryw o ysgolion. Rydym wedi darparu cyllid penodol i sicrhau ein bod ni'n cefnogi ysgolion sydd angen y gefnogaeth honno i ailgydio cysylltiad â theuluoedd lle mae'r plant yn aros gartref. Felly, rŷn ni'n ceisio gwneud ein gorau i gefnogi athrawon i sicrhau bod hynny'n digwydd, yn hytrach, ar hyn o bryd, na gosod targedau statudol. Ond, wrth gwrs, mae'n iawn bod ysgolion yn edrych ar hynny. Mae'n nod o'r system ysgol bod ein plant ni yn yr ystafell ddosbarth, felly mae hynny'n waith teilwng mae'n hathrawon ni yn ei wneud. Y pwynt olaf wnaeth hi sôn amdano oedd y cynorthwywyr. Rwyf wedi ateb rhywfaint o hynny, efallai, yn y cwestiwn gan Tom Giffard. Roeddwn i mewn cyfarfod ddoe, a chyfarfod bore yma hefyd, gyda'r pwyllgor partneriaeth gymdeithasol ynglŷn ag ysgolion, oedd yn cwrdd y bore yma, yn trafod pwysau ar staff ysgol hefyd yn sgil yr argyfwng costau byw. Felly, i'r teuluoedd, ond hefyd i'r athrawon a'r cynorthwywyr, mae pwysau penodol. Roedd hyn hefyd yn thema mewn cyfarfod roeddwn i ynddo fe ddoe, yr oedd yr Education Policy Institute wedi trefnu, i glywed beth oedd yn digwydd mewn rhannau eraill ym Mhrydain, ac mae'n ddarlun sydd yn digwydd mewn mannau eraill hefyd. Felly, mae'n flaenoriaeth i ni sicrhau ein bod ni'n gwella telerau staff cynorthwyol. Mae gyda ni rhywfaint o bwerau; mae eraill o'r pwerau gydag awdurdodau lleol. Mae lot o waith gyda ni i'w wneud er mwyn sicrhau ein bod ni'n gwella sefyllfa cynorthwywyr. Rŷn ni wedi dechrau ar y gwaith yna; mae'n mynd yn iawn, ond mae lot mwy i'w wneud.
