English: Well, this is a very important point and I want to acknowledge the pressure that school leaders and teachers are facing at present, but also over the past year and beyond. I was discussing on Tuesday morning with local authorities and education unions, and the wider education workforce, and I asked them to pass on our thanks as a Government, and I'm sure, as a Senedd, to their workforces for what they've been doing in very difficult circumstances over the past year. In terms of specific provision to support the well-being and mental health of school leaders, we have been doing a variety of things. The whole school framework for well-being includes interventions that support teachers and leaders as well, as well as specific interventions by Education Support and others, so that they have space to be able to deal with the pressures that have been a reality for them over the past year. In terms of further resources, we have, through renew and reform, provided significant sums of funding to recruit additional staff to alleviate some of the pressure on school leaders to deal specifically with the impact of COVID. So, that has had the effect of increasing provision and increasing the capacity in our schools. And also, in terms of the question of accountability and assessment, the Member will know of the steps that I outlined over the summer in terms of lifting some of those requirements over this past period, understanding fully that the pressure that follows on as a result of that isn't welcomed at the moment as schools deal with the challenges of COVID and so on. And, in addition to that, we have a working group with local authorities and unions that is working on the measures that we can take to decrease the bureaucratic requirements on our schools to ensure that we shoulder some of that burden.
Welsh: Wel, mae hyn yn gwestiwn pwysig iawn, a dwi eisiau cydnabod y pwysau mae prifathrawon ac athrawon o dan ar hyn o bryd, ac wedi bod dros y cyfnod o flwyddyn a mwy yn ddiweddar. Rôn i'n trafod bore dydd Mawrth gydag awdurdodau lleol ac undebau dysgu, a'r undebau gweithlu addysg mwy eang na hynny, ac yn gofyn iddyn nhw i basio ymlaen ein diolch ni fel Llywodraeth, ac, rwy'n siŵr, ein diolch ni fel Senedd, i'w gweithleoedd am yr hyn maen nhw wedi bod yn ei wneud mewn amgylchiadau anodd dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf. O ran darpariaeth benodol i gefnogi llesiant ac iechyd meddwl arweinwyr ysgol, rŷn ni wedi bod yn gwneud amryw o bethau. Mae'r fframwaith ysgol gyfan ar gyfer llesiant yn cynnwys ymyraethau sydd yn cefnogi athrawon a phenaethiaid hefyd, gan gynnwys darpariaeth benodol gan Education Support ac eraill, er mwyn iddyn nhw hefyd gael gofod i allu delio â'r pwysau sydd wedi bod yn realiti iddyn nhw dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf. O ran adnoddau pellach, rŷn ni wedi, wrth gwrs, trwy renew and reform, darparu symiau sylweddol o arian er mwyn recriwtio mwy o staff er mwyn codi ychydig o'r pwysau ar benaethiaid mewn ysgolion i ddelio yn benodol ag impact COVID. Felly, mae hynny wedi cael yr effaith o gynyddu darpariaeth a chynyddu capasiti yn ein hysgolion ni, a hefyd, o ran cwestiwn atebolrwydd ac asesiadau, bydd yr Aelod yn gwybod, wrth gwrs, am y camau gwnes i ddatgan yn ystod yr haf o ran codi rhai o'r gofynion hynny dros y cyfnod yma, gan ddeall yn iawn bod y pwysau sy'n dod yn sgil hynny, efallai nad oes croeso i hynny ar hyn o bryd wrth i ysgolion ddelio â sialensiau COVID hefyd. Ac ynghyd â hynny, mae gyda ni weithgor gydag awdurdodau lleol ac undebau sydd yn gweithio ar fesurau y gallwn ni eu cymryd i leihau gofynion biwrocrataidd efallai ar ein hysgolion ni er mwyn sicrhau ein bod ni'n codi'r hyn o bwysau y gallwn ni.
