English: Well, first of all, can I say I'm glad that the Member found the briefing yesterday useful? And could I also share her thanks to Lynne Neagle, the Chair of the Children, Young People and Education Committee, who helped facilitate that briefing? I'm grateful to all the Members from the committee and, indeed, beyond the committee who took the time to come and listen to the presentations yesterday with regard to the new curriculum? I think it is really important to recognise that the curriculum is not devoid of knowledge. It is a curriculum that builds on knowledge, skills and the experiences that I believe children and young people in Wales will need to ensure that, when they leave school, they will go on to live successful personal lives and will be able to contribute successfully to the nation. With regard to quality control, obviously there are assessment arrangements that were also published yesterday, which demonstrate where we would expect a child to be in relation to the six areas of learning and experience broadly at stages throughout their educational career. And, of course, we will continue to assess those children via our innovative online assessment regimes, as well as a teacher assessment. And, of course, the overall policy of the curriculum experience will be underpinned by our accountability regime - the individual accountability of teachers, the role of governors, the role of our regional consortia or as our school improvement service and, ultimately, of course, Estyn, which will be visiting schools more often under our new regime than they currently do presently, and they will be there to look at ensuring that the curriculum that is being delivered is one of high quality.
Welsh: Wel, yn gyntaf, a gaf fi ddweud fy mod yn falch fod yr Aelod yn credu bod y briff ddoe yn ddefnyddiol? Ac a gaf fi hefyd rannu ei diolch i Lynne Neagle, Cadeirydd y Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg, a helpodd i hwyluso'r briff hwnnw? Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r holl Aelodau o'r pwyllgor, ac yn wir, y tu hwnt i'r pwyllgor, a roddodd o'u hamser i ddod i wrando ar y cyflwyniadau ddoe mewn perthynas â'r cwricwlwm newydd. Credaf ei bod yn bwysig iawn cydnabod nad yw'r cwricwlwm yn brin o wybodaeth. Mae'n gwricwlwm sy'n adeiladu ar wybodaeth, sgiliau a'r profiadau y credaf y bydd eu hangen ar blant a phobl ifanc yng Nghymru er mwyn sicrhau, pan fyddant yn gadael yr ysgol, y byddant yn mynd yn eu blaenau i fyw bywydau personol llwyddiannus ac y byddant yn gallu cyfrannu'n llwyddiannus at y genedl. O ran rheoli ansawdd, yn amlwg, cyhoeddwyd trefniadau asesu hefyd ddoe, sy'n dangos lle byddem yn disgwyl i blentyn fod, yn gyffredinol, mewn perthynas â'r chwe maes dysgu a phrofiad ar wahanol gamau drwy gydol eu gyrfa addysgol. Ac wrth gwrs, byddwn yn parhau i asesu'r plant hynny drwy ein cyfundrefnau asesu ar-lein arloesol, yn ogystal ag asesu athrawon. Ac wrth gwrs, bydd polisi cyffredinol profiad y cwricwlwm wedi'i ategu gan ein cyfundrefn atebolrwydd - atebolrwydd unigol yr athrawon, rôl llywodraethwyr, rôl ein consortia rhanbarthol neu ein gwasanaeth gwella ysgolion, ac yn y pen draw, wrth gwrs, Estyn, a fydd yn ymweld ag ysgolion yn amlach o dan ein trefn newydd nag y gwnânt ar hyn o bryd, a byddant yno i sicrhau bod y cwricwlwm a gyflwynir yn un o ansawdd uchel.
