English: Plaid Cymru will vote in favour of these regulations. I believe that the decision to close secondary schools could have been taken earlier because of the details that had been outlined by the technical advisory cell on 3 December, but the Minister chose to wait until the chief medical officer virtually ordered that this needed to happen, and that has created problems. I believe that provision should have been put in place on school sites for children of families who can't, or can't afford to arrange child care for the younger secondary school pupils, particularly with so little warning or notice for families that schools were to close. This decision taken late in the day has created a whole host of problems, and in very many cases, it's grandparents who have to help out, and therefore they are putting themselves at risk of possibly catching the virus. Now, for many people, there is no choice but to carry on working, and to rely on older family members to help, or to leave the children home alone, and that, clearly, isn't acceptable either. So, provision for them, for those families who can't arrange childcare this week, would have been a step in the right direction, in my view. I continue to be very concerned about the digital divide. As the BBC and the Children's Commissioner for Wales have found, there are children who still don't have laptops; they are trying to access education through gaming machines, Xboxes or mobile phones. There are children who are slipping through the net, and although the Minister feels the situation is under control, that isn't the picture that is emerging for me through the work referred to me as casework and so on. That's why Plaid Cymru is calling for the establishment of a national register for tracking who has digital equipment and who has broadband connectivity, so that we can then provide the additional resources as is required. Finally, in light of all of the disruption to education that has been happening now since March, I do call on the Government to publish its post-COVID education plans early in the new year, and to announce how they will be implemented, and what additional resources will be made available to schools. A huge effort will be required to support our children and young people through their education and with their mental health and well-being; that's required now, but it'll be required for months, if not years, to come, and the sooner we can see the plans for the ensuing period the better, so that we can scrutinise them constructively from the back benches. I'm very eager to support that process. Thank you.
Welsh: Fe fydd Plaid Cymru yn pleidleisio o blaid y rheoliadau yma. Dwi'n credu y gellid bod wedi cymryd y penderfyniad i gau'r ysgolion uwchradd yn gynt, oherwydd yr hyn oedd wedi cael ei amlinellu gan y gell cyngor technegol ar 3 Rhagfyr, ond yn hytrach, mi wnaeth y Gweinidog ddisgwyl tan i'r prif swyddog meddygol orchymyn, mwy neu lai, fod angen i hyn ddigwydd, ac mae hynny wedi creu problemau. Dwi'n credu y dylid bod wedi creu darpariaeth ar safle'r ysgol ar gyfer plant o deuluoedd sydd yn methu, neu'n methu fforddio trefnu gofal plant, hynny yw ar gyfer y plant iau yn yr ysgol uwchradd, yn enwedig efo cyn lleied o rybudd i deuluoedd bod yr ysgolion yn cau. Mae'r penderfyniad hwyr yn y dydd wedi creu llu o broblemau, ac mewn sawl achos, nain a thaid sy'n gorfod helpu, ac felly maen nhw eu hunain yn rhoi eu hunain mewn sefyllfa beryglus o ddal y feirws o bosibl. I lawer o bobl, does yna ddim dewis ond cario ymlaen i weithio a dibynnu ar deulu oedrannus i helpu, neu adael y plant eu hunain ac, yn glir, dydy hynny ddim yn sefyllfa dderbyniol. Felly, mi fyddai darpariaeth ar eu cyfer nhw, ar gyfer y teuluoedd hynny sydd yn methu trefnu gofal plant wythnos yma, wedi bod yn gam i'r cyfeiriad cywir, dwi'n credu. Dwi'n parhau i fod yn bryderus iawn am y bwlch digidol. Fel mae'r BBC a Chomisiynydd Plant Cymru wedi'i ganfod, mae yna blant yn parhau i fod heb liniaduron; maen nhw yn ceisio cael mynediad at eu haddysg drwy beiriannau gemau, drwy Xboxes neu drwy ffonau symudol. Mae yna blant sy'n disgyn drwy'r rhwyd, ac er bod y Gweinidog yn teimlo bod y sefyllfa dan reolaeth, ddim dyna'r darlun sydd yn dod drwodd i mi drwy'r gwaith sydd yn cael ei gyfeirio ataf fi drwy waith achos ac yn y blaen. Ac felly, dyna pam mae Plaid Cymru yn galw am sefydlu cofrestr genedlaethol ar gyfer cadw trac o bwy sydd â chyfarpar digidol a phwy sydd efo'r cysylltedd band-eang, er mwyn wedyn medru darparu'r adnoddau ychwanegol rheini fel bod angen. Yn olaf, yn sgil yr holl amharu ar addysg sydd wedi bod yn digwydd rŵan ers mis Mawrth, dwi yn galw ar y Llywodraeth i gyhoeddi eu cynlluniau addysgol ôl-COVID yn fuan yn y flwyddyn newydd, a chyhoeddi sut maen nhw'n mynd i'w gweithredu nhw, a pha adnoddau ychwanegol fydd ar gael i ysgolion. Mi fydd angen ymdrech enfawr i gefnogi'n plant a'n pobl ifanc ni efo'u haddysg a'u lles meddyliol; mae angen hynny rŵan, ond mi fydd angen hynny am fisoedd, os nad blynyddoedd, i ddod, a gorau po gynted y cawn ni weld cynlluniau ar gyfer y cyfnod nesaf, a chraffu arnyn nhw yn adeiladol o'r meinciau cefn. Dwi'n awyddus iawn i gefnogi'r broses honno. Diolch.
