English: Thank you very much, Llywydd, for accepting my request to ask a few questions. I have two questions on education - schools education first of all. Now, we talk about this target of 1 million Welsh speakers by 2050, and it's good to see that everyone is working together towards that target. Everyone welcomes the target. We should be able to reach it because the role of schools is so very important, and there are two whole generations that are going to pass through our schools between now and 2050. Do you as Minister agree with me that, in my constituency, every child brought up on Anglesey should be given an assurance that he or she will be entirely fluent in Welsh by the time they leave education? Whichever school that child attends, whether it's a school on the island or on the mainland. Because it's truly not fair for any child to go through an education system that doesn't enable them to play their full part in a society that is bilingual. The second question, on adult education - to echo a point made by Siân Gwenllian. There are 405 learners in Anglesey at the moment receiving Welsh for adults education at the National Centre for Learning Welsh in the north west at Bangor University. They are concerned about the suggestion that you could be considering cutting up to £0.5 million from the budget of the National Centre for Learning Welsh. It's entirely right, as you say, that you look at how that money is spent, to ensure that it is spent in the best way possible. But cutting some £0.5 million, if you're still considering that, would mean some £80,000 off the budget of the centre in the north west of Wales, which would correspond to around two posts. There's no doubt that that would have a direct impact on the capacity to teach those people across the north west, and those I am most concerned about - if you'll forgive me - those on Anglesey. In areas such as Anglesey, where there is a great deal of in-migration from people who come to live on the island for entirely understandable reasons, it's crucial that opportunities are provided for them to learn Welsh, to understand the importance of the language in a bilingual community, and that the capacity is in place to provide those learning opportunities for them. So, when will you make a decision in order to, hopefully, give some assurances to the centre on the way forward?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd, am dderbyn fy nghais i ofyn cwestiwn neu ddau. Dau gwestiwn ynglŷn ag addysg sydd gen i - addysg ysgolion yn gyntaf. Rydym ni'n sôn am y targed 1 miliwn o siaradwyr erbyn 2050, ac mae'n dda gweld pawb yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd tuag at y nod hwnnw. Mae pawb yn croesawu'r targed. Mi ddylem ni allu ei gyrraedd oherwydd bod rôl ysgolion mor bwysig, ac mae dwy genhedlaeth gyfan o blant ysgol yn mynd i basio trwy ein hysgolion ni rhwng rŵan a 2050. Ydych chi fel Gweinidog yn cytuno efo fi, yn fy etholaeth i, y dylai pob un plentyn sy'n cael ei fagu yn Ynys Môn gael sicrwydd y bydd o neu hi yn gwbl rugl yn y Gymraeg erbyn gadael addysg? Pa bynnag ysgol y mae'r plentyn yna yn ei mynychu, a p'un ai yw'n mynychu ysgol ar yr ynys neu ar y tir mawr. Achos dydy hi wir ddim yn deg ar blentyn i'w rhoi nhw drwy system addysg sydd ddim yn galluogi iddyn nhw chwarae rhan yn gwbl lawn mewn cymdeithas sydd yn ddwyieithog. A'r ail gwestiwn, ynglŷn ag addysg i oedolion - yn ategu pwynt a gafodd ei wneud gan Siân Gwenllian. Mae yna 405, fel dwi'n deall, o ddysgwyr a ddysgwragedd yn Ynys Môn ar hyn o bryd yn derbyn addysg Gymraeg i oedolion gan y ganolfan dysgu Cymraeg yn y gogledd orllewin ym Mhrifysgol Bangor. Maen nhw'n bryderus am yr awgrym y gallech chi fod yn ystyried torri, o bosib, £0.5 miliwn oddi ar gyllideb y ganolfan Cymraeg i oedolion yn genedlaethol. Mae'n hollol iawn, fel rydych chi'n dweud, eich bod chi'n edrych ar sut mae'r arian yn cael ei wario, a sicrhau ei fod o'n cael ei wario yn synhwyrol. Ond mi fyddai torri ryw £0.5 miliwn, os mai dyna ydych chi'n dal yn ystyried, yn golygu, mae'n siŵr, £80,000 oddi ar gyllideb y ganolfan yn y gogledd orllewin, yn cyfateb, mae'n siŵr, i ddwy swydd. A does yna ddim amheuaeth y byddai hynny'n cael effaith uniongyrchol ar gapasiti i ddysgu'r bobl hynny ar draws y gogledd orllewin, a'r rhai dwi'n poeni fwyaf amdanyn nhw - os gwnewch chi faddau i mi - y rhai yn Ynys Môn. Mewn ardal fel Ynys Môn, lle mae yna lawer o fewnfudo gan bobl sy'n dod i fyw ar yr ynys am resymau cwbl, cwbl ddealladwy, mae'n hanfodol fod cyfleon yn cael eu cynnig ar eu cyfer nhw i ddysgu Cymraeg, i ddeall pwysigrwydd yr iaith mewn cymdeithas ddwyieithog, a bod y capasiti yna wedyn er mwyn rhoi y cyfleon dysgu iddyn nhw. Felly, pa bryd fyddwch chi'n dod i'ch penderfyniad er mwyn, gobeithio, gallu rhoi sicrwydd i'r ganolfan ynglŷn â'r ffordd ymlaen?
