English: Our motion calls on the Welsh Government to publish a detailed business plan for the development of the north Wales metro, while the Welsh Government's proposals remain vague and disconnected from the collaborative approach sought in the growth vision, which doesn't even mention a north Wales metro. As the 'Growth Vision' document concludes, north Wales is well placed to receive a range of new responsibilities, and is confident that the negotiated powers that will be devolved to the region will have a positive impact, boosting productivity levels and improving the employment prospects of our residents - a vision supported by Plaid Cymru leaders, Labour leaders, independent leaders, cabinets with members of all parties, including my own, and the whole of the business community and third sector. So, it's now over to the Welsh Government to deliver.
Welsh: Mae ein cynnig yn galw ar Lywodraeth Cymru i gyhoeddi cynllun busnes manwl ar gyfer datblygu metro gogledd Cymru, er bod cynigion Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i fod yn amwys ac wedi'u datgysylltu oddi wrth y dull cydweithredol a geisir yn y weledigaeth ar gyfer twf nad yw hyd yn oed yn sôn am fetro gogledd Cymru. Fel y mae'r ddogfen 'Gweledigaeth ar gyfer Twf' yn casglu, mae gogledd Cymru mewn sefyllfa dda i gael amrywiaeth o gyfrifoldebau newydd, ac mae'n hyderus y bydd y pwerau cyd-drafod a ddatganolir i'r rhanbarth yn cael effaith gadarnhaol, gan roi hwb i lefelau cynhyrchiant a gwella rhagolygon cyflogaeth ein trigolion - gweledigaeth a gefnogir gan arweinwyr Plaid Cymru, arweinwyr Llafur, arweinwyr annibynnol, cabinetau gydag aelodau o bob plaid, gan gynnwys fy mhlaid fy hun, a'r holl gymuned fusnes a'r trydydd sector. Felly, mater i Lywodraeth Cymru yn awr yw cyflawni hyn.
English: I have selected the two amendments to the motion, and I call on Dai Lloyd to move amendments 1 and 2 tabled in the name of Simon Thomas.
Welsh: Rwyf wedi dethol y ddau welliant i'r cynnig, ac rwy'n galw ar Dai Lloyd i gynnig gwelliannau 1 a 2 a gyflwynwyd yn enw Simon Thomas.
English: Thank you for giving way, Dai. I fully agree with you on the benefits of developing a smartcard-integrated system. Would you agree with me it would be a start to get reliable, fully-integrated timetabling, so that, at the touch of a button, you'd be able to see exactly where those services are going to and from?
Welsh: Diolch i chi am ildio, Dai. Cytunaf yn llwyr â chi am fanteision datblygu system cerdyn clyfar integredig. A fyddech yn cytuno y byddai cael amserlenni dibynadwy cwbl integredig yn ddechrau, fel y gallech, drwy bwyso botwm yn unig, weld yn union i ble mae'r gwasanaethau hynny'n mynd?
English: I agree with that 100 per cent, and when there is a bus or train that says it's going turn up at a particular time, that it does turn up at that time. We do have to have a dependable service as well. But, of course, we have to do something about this distance between the north and south, when it shouldn't really exist. In other nations facing a more significant challenge than we face in drawing together the north and south parts of our nation they have done that in terms of transport, and yet we have failed to do so. Yes, it is important for our unity as a nation, and it's important for the growth of the economy, regionally and nationally, that we can improve our transport links. In terms of being in this Senedd and in talking about any region of Wales, we are talking about the need to grow this place as a place to lead a united Welsh nation here in Wales. That starts with simple things such as us being able to reach north Wales relatively quickly, so that it doesn't seem far away, and so that people living in north Wales don't feel that the south is far away, and might not want to come here, and that it's much easier for them to cross the border and miss out on what the rest of the nation can offer. In the end, we are talking about transport, but we are also talking about the genuine need to grow as a nation, because, ultimately, we had a nation to keep and maintain - a piece of land that bore witness to the fact that we insisted on living. Thank you.
Welsh: Buaswn i'n cytuno 100 y cant, a hefyd, pan mae yna fws neu drên yn dweud ei fod e'n mynd i droi i fyny ar ba bynnag amser, ei fod e'n troi i fyny ar yr amser hynny. Mae'n rhaid inni gael gwasanaeth dibynadwy hefyd. Ond, wrth gwrs, mae'n rhaid inni wneud rhywbeth ynglŷn â'r pellter yma o'r gogledd i'r de pan na ddylai fe ddim bod. Mae gwledydd eraill â her fwy sylweddol na sydd gyda ni i glymu gogledd a de y wlad efo'i gilydd wedi llwyddo i wneud hynny yn nhermau trafnidiaeth, ac eto nid ydym ni'n gallu ei wneud e. Ydy, mae'n bwysig i'n huno ni fel cenedl, ac mae'n bwysig i dwf yr economi yn rhanbarthol a hefyd yn genedlaethol ein bod ni'n gallu gwella ein cysylltiadau. Ond yn nhermau bod yn y Senedd yma ac yn siarad am unrhyw ranbarth o Gymru, rydym ni'n sôn am yr angen i dyfu'r lle hwn i arwain cenedl unedig Gymreig yma yng Nghymru. Mae hynny'n dechrau, yn y bôn, â phethau syml fel ein gallu i gyrraedd y gogledd yn eithaf cyflym, fel nad ydyw i'w weld fel petai yn bell i ffwrdd, a bod pobl sydd yn byw yn y gogledd ddim yn credu bod y de hefyd yn bell i ffwrdd, a ddim eisiau dod yma, a'i fod yn llawer haws mynd dros y ffin a cholli allan ar beth mae gweddill y genedl yn ei gynnig iddyn nhw. Yn y diwedd, rydym yn sôn am drafnidiaeth, ond rydym ni hefyd yn sôn am yr angen gwirioneddol i dyfu cenedl. Yn y bôn, fel yr hen air, 'Cawsom wlad i'w chadw, / darn o dir yn dyst / ein bod wedi mynnu byw.' Diolch yn fawr.
English: Yes, I'll accept.
Welsh: Iawn, fe ildiaf.
English: How do you respond - maybe you're going to get to this, but you haven't mentioned it yet - to the central tenet of the north Wales growth vision document, which is the call for responsibility for some economic and growth levers to be internally devolved to the board?
Welsh: Sut rydych yn ymateb - efallai eich bod yn mynd i ddod at hyn, ond nid ydych wedi sôn amdano eto - i egwyddor ganolog y ddogfen ar weledigaeth ar gyfer twf i ogledd Cymru, sef y galw am ddatganoli cyfrifoldeb dros rai o'r ysgogwyr ar gyfer yr economi a thwf yn fewnol i'r bwrdd?
English: Diolch, Lywydd, and thank you to everyone who has participated in this debate today. I'm very pleased to hear some of the announcements that have been made by the Cabinet Secretary this afternoon in terms of a little bit more information about some of the proposed improvements to the A55, and, indeed, an update on where things are at with the metro. We look forward to receiving further information, of course, before Christmas. We'll hold you to account for that statement now. I'm a little bit disappointed, though, that he seems now to be tying the devolution of powers and responsibility to north Wales to funding coming with a growth deal. The reality is I've just checked your manifesto online and there's absolutely nothing in there about having to wait for a growth deal before any further powers are devolved to those authorities in the north. I think it is incumbent upon you as a Government, collectively - all of you as Cabinet Ministers, and the First Minister - to think about where those levers are best placed. Because the people of north Wales have come together, the stakeholders have produced what is an exciting vision for the region, which I really do believe will lead to significant investment and significant growth in the economy if they are allowed to simply get on with it, but having sticky hands with powers in Cardiff Bay isn't going to change that situation.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd, a diolch i bawb sydd wedi cymryd rhan yn y ddadl hon heddiw. Rwy'n falch iawn o glywed rhai o'r cyhoeddiadau a wnaeth yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet y prynhawn yma o ran ychydig mwy o wybodaeth am rai o'r gwelliannau arfaethedig i'r A55, ac yn wir, y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf ynglŷn â ble mae pethau arni gyda'r metro. Rydym yn edrych ymlaen at gael rhagor o wybodaeth, wrth gwrs, cyn y Nadolig. Byddwn yn eich dwyn i gyfrif am y datganiad hwnnw yn awr. Rwy'n siomedig braidd, fodd bynnag, ei fod i'w weld bellach yn clymu datganoli pwerau a chyfrifoldeb i ogledd Cymru wrth gyllid sydd i ddod gyda chytundeb twf. Y realiti yw fy mod newydd edrych ar eich maniffesto ar-lein ac nid oes dim ynddo o gwbl am orfod aros am gytundeb twf cyn y datganolir unrhyw bwerau pellach i'r awdurdodau yn y gogledd. Credaf ei bod yn ddyletswydd arnoch fel Llywodraeth, ar y cyd - pawb ohonoch fel Gweinidogion Cabinet, a'r Prif Weinidog - i feddwl ynglŷn â'r lle gorau i roi'r ysgogwyr hynny. Oherwydd mae pobl gogledd Cymru wedi dod at ei gilydd, mae'r rhanddeiliaid wedi cynhyrchu yr hyn sy'n weledigaeth gyffrous ar gyfer y rhanbarth, ac rwy'n credu'n wirioneddol y bydd yn arwain at fuddsoddiad sylweddol a thwf sylweddol yn yr economi os cânt fwrw ymlaen â hyn, ond nid yw bod â dwylo gludiog gyda phwerau ym Mae Caerdydd yn mynd i newid y sefyllfa honno.
English: But surely the Member would also recognise that what businesses are telling us, what people are telling us, is that the UK and Welsh Governments should work together in the interests of the people of north Wales, and it would be far better to integrate our policies with UK Government policies where economic growth is concerned. That means that we should seek to dovetail our approach to devolution of any power with what a UK Government initiative, such as the growth deal, would seek to achieve.
Welsh: Ond 'does bosibl na fyddai'r Aelod hefyd yn cydnabod mai'r hyn y mae busnesau yn ei ddweud wrthym, yr hyn y mae pobl yn ei ddweud wrthym, yw y dylai Llywodraeth y DU a Llywodraeth Cymru gydweithio er budd pobl gogledd Cymru, a byddai'n llawer gwell integreiddio ein polisïau â pholisïau Llywodraeth y DU o ran twf economaidd. Mae hynny'n golygu y dylem geisio plethu ein dull o ddatganoli unrhyw bŵer â'r hyn y byddai menter gan Lywodraeth y DU, megis y cytundeb twf, yn ceisio ei gyflawni.
English: I'll happily - .
Welsh: Rwy'n hapus i - .
English: I'm sorry to intervene, because I haven't followed all of the debate - I'm sure it's out of order for me even to stand up - but why do we keep referring to borders? There hasn't been a border between England and Wales for 1,500 years, to my knowledge.
Welsh: Mae'n ddrwg gennyf ymyrryd, gan nad wyf wedi dilyn y ddadl i gyd - rwy'n siŵr ei bod yn annerbyniol i mi sefyll hyd yn oed - ond pam rydym yn cyfeirio at ffiniau o hyd? Ni fu ffin rhwng Cymru a Lloegr ers 1,500 o flynyddoedd, hyd y gwn i.
English: And long may that situation continue - long may that situation continue. But, of course, there are administrative borders, and, of course, many members of your group would like those borders to be more important, shall we say, in economic terms than they currently are. But it is important that we give north Wales the opportunity to grow, that we devolve the powers, that we make the finance available. I'm very pleased to hear that you're going to ensure that the development bank is based in north Wales. As I said earlier on during questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government, there must be a fair share of investment from that development bank into the region. And I'd just ask, Minister, that you do consider the plan that's on the table from the North Wales Economic Ambition Board, and the other stakeholders that have contributed to shape that, because that, I believe, holds the key to unlocking the potential of north Wales, and we, certainly on these benches, will be supporting that vision for the region every step of the way.
Welsh: A hir y parhaed y sefyllfa honno - hir y parhaed y sefyllfa honno. Ond wrth gwrs, mae yna ffiniau gweinyddol, ac wrth gwrs, byddai llawer o aelodau o'ch grŵp yn hoffi i'r ffiniau hynny fod yn fwy pwysig, gawn ni ddweud, mewn termau economaidd nag y maent ar hyn o bryd. Ond mae'n bwysig ein bod yn rhoi cyfle i ogledd Cymru dyfu, ein bod yn datganoli'r pwerau, ein bod yn sicrhau bod cyllid ar gael. Rwy'n falch iawn o glywed eich bod yn mynd i sicrhau bod y banc datblygu yn cael ei leoli yn y gogledd. Fel y dywedais yn gynharach yn ystod cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol, rhaid cael cyfran deg o fuddsoddiad gan y banc datblygu yn y rhanbarth. A charwn ofyn i chi, Weinidog, ystyried y cynllun sydd ar y bwrdd gan Fwrdd Uchelgais Economaidd Gogledd Cymru, a'r rhanddeiliaid eraill a gyfrannodd at ei lunio, gan mai hwnnw, yn fy marn i, sydd â'r allwedd i ryddhau potensial gogledd Cymru, a byddwn ni, ar y meinciau hyn yn sicr, yn cefnogi'r weledigaeth honno ar gyfer y rhanbarth bob cam o'r ffordd.
English: The proposal is to agree the motion without amendment. Does any Member object? No. Therefore, the motion without amendment is agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn y cynnig heb ei ddiwygio? A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu? Felly, derbynnir y cynnig heb ei ddiwygio yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 12.36.
English: The next item on the agenda is the United Kingdom Independence Party debate on grammar schools. I call on Michelle Brown to move the motion.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf ar yr agenda yw dadl Plaid Annibyniaeth y Deyrnas Gyfunol ar ysgolion gramadeg, ac rwy'n galw ar Michelle Brown i wneud y cynnig.
English: I have selected the six amendments to the motion. I call on Darren Millar to move the six amendments tabled in the name of Paul Davies. Darren Millar.
Welsh: Rwyf wedi dethol y chwe gwelliant i'r cynnig ac rydw i'n galw ar Darren Millar i gynnig y chwech gwelliant a gyflwynwyd yn enw Paul Davies. Darren Millar.
English: At the risk of offending certain AMs with regard to anecdotal evidence - I see that Lee Waters has just left the Chamber - I would like to say that I may indeed be the only AM present who actually experienced both a secondary modern and a grammar school education, in that I first attended - [Interruption.] I'll give a pass to my colleague there, who may also have done that. I first attended the former before going on to the latter. I say that because there was also an ability to go from the latter to the former. So, perhaps I have a unique insight into this debate. I can assure this Chamber that, during my time in the secondary modern school, I was taught that I was to be a productive and valued member of society and, indeed, if I obtained my apprenticeship, the world was my oyster. So, failure of an exam at 11 years old was not the ghastly spectre that some commentators seek to portray, with poor souls being condemned to the dustbin of humanity. Indeed, any pupils who showed distinct academic qualities were transferred to the grammar school as a matter of course.
Welsh: Gan fentro pechu rhai ACau mewn perthynas â thystiolaeth anecdotaidd - gwelaf fod Lee Waters newydd adael y Siambr - hoffwn ddweud efallai'n wir mai fi yw'r unig AC sy'n bresennol a brofodd addysg mewn ysgol uwchradd fodern ac mewn ysgol ramadeg, gan fy mod yn gyntaf wedi mynychu - [Torri ar draws.] Fe wnaf eithriad o fy nghyd-Aelod yn y fan honno, sydd hefyd wedi gwneud hynny o bosibl. Mynychais y gyntaf cyn mynd ymlaen i'r ail. Dywedaf hynny oherwydd roedd modd mynd o ysgol ramadeg i ysgol uwchradd fodern hefyd. Felly, efallai fod gennyf olwg unigryw ar y ddadl hon. Gallaf sicrhau'r Siambr hon fy mod, yn ystod fy amser yn yr ysgol uwchradd fodern, wedi cael fy nysgu fy mod i fod yn aelod cynhyrchiol a gwerthfawr o'r gymdeithas ac yn wir, pe bawn yn cael fy mhrentisiaeth, gallwn wneud beth bynnag y dymunwn ei wneud. Felly, nid oedd methu arholiad yn 11 oed yn brofiad erchyll fel y mae rhai sylwebyddion yn ceisio ei ddisgrifio, gyda thrueiniaid yn cael eu condemnio i fin sbwriel y ddynoliaeth. Yn wir, câi unrhyw ddisgyblion a ddangosai rinweddau academaidd penodol eu trosglwyddo i ysgol ramadeg fel mater o drefn.
English: What I'd like to do, and I recognise that you've had your experiences, is ask you: when you were in the secondary school and they were setting you up with apprenticeships, which I wholeheartedly support, were they actually encouraging you also to become the teachers of those apprenticeships?
Welsh: Yr hyn yr hoffwn ei wneud, ac rwy'n cydnabod eich bod wedi cael eich profiadau, yw gofyn i chi: pan oeddech yn yr ysgol uwchradd ac roeddent yn sefydlu prentisiaethau ar eich cyfer, ac rwy'n llwyr gefnogi hynny, a oeddent mewn gwirionedd yn eich annog chi hefyd i ddod yn athrawon y prentisiaethau hynny?
English: Absolutely. This was all about your abilities, and taking each and every pupil by his distinct abilities. The advent, unfortunately, of comprehensive schools with as many as 1,500 pupils has seen an abandonment of those pupils who are given practical skills rather than academic. Apart from an over-concentration of IT education, practical subjects have all but disappeared from the school curriculum. This has the inevitable result of a huge deficit in skilled electricians, plumbers, toolmakers, et cetera, which we have experienced over the last few years, together with a whole generation of disenchanted youngsters who believe that their worth to society is negligible. By separating the truly academic pupils from those with more practical skills, we can concentrate on bringing out the potential of every pupil, irrespective of their academic abilities. There should, of course, be a transfer of pupils, as in my day, but perhaps on an expanded format. An examination at around 11 years of age should not be seen as a system of segregating the achievers from the non-achievers, but simply a method of identifying individual pupils' abilities, preferences and proclivities.
Welsh: Yn bendant. Roedd hyn i gyd yn ymwneud â'ch galluoedd, a chymryd pob disgybl yn ôl ei alluoedd gwahanol. Yn anffodus, mae dyfodiad ysgolion cyfun gyda chynifer â 1,500 o ddisgyblion wedi golygu bod y disgyblion sy'n meithrin sgiliau ymarferol yn hytrach nag academaidd yn cael eu gadael ar ôl. Ar wahân i ormodedd o addysg Technoleg Gwybodaeth, mae pynciau ymarferol wedi diflannu o gwricwlwm yr ysgol. Canlyniad anochel hyn yw prinder enfawr o drydanwyr medrus, plymwyr medrus, gwneuthurwyr offer medrus, ac yn y blaen, fel y profwyd yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf, ynghyd â chenhedlaeth gyfan o bobl ifanc wedi'u dadrithio sy'n credu nad ydynt o fawr o werth i gymdeithas. Trwy wahanu'r disgyblion gwirioneddol academaidd oddi wrth y rhai sydd â sgiliau mwy ymarferol, gallwn ganolbwyntio ar amlygu potensial pob disgybl, waeth beth yw eu galluoedd academaidd. Wrth gwrs, dylid trosglwyddo disgyblion, fel pan oeddwn i'n ifanc, ond ar fformat estynedig o bosibl. Ni ddylai arholiad oddeutu 11 oed gael ei weld fel system o wahanu'r cyflawnwyr oddi wrth y rhai nad ydynt yn cyflawni, ond yn ddull syml o nodi galluoedd, dewisiadau a thueddiadau disgyblion unigol.
English: There's a thing called devolution; perhaps you haven't recognised it. We have different policies in Wales than what our party has in England, because our education system's different; Wales has different needs. Now, what I did say the other day is that we should never say never and never completely shut the door on any ideas. We're not prepared to do that. You appear to be able to forecast what the future might have to say in terms of evidence, but, frankly, stop ranting on about England; tell us what your policy is on these things here in Wales.
Welsh: Mae yna beth a elwir yn ddatganoli; efallai nad ydych wedi sylwi arno. Mae gennym bolisïau gwahanol yng Nghymru i'r hyn sydd gan eich plaid yn Lloegr, am fod ein system addysg yn wahanol; mae gan Gymru anghenion gwahanol. Nawr, yr hyn a ddywedais y diwrnod o'r blaen oedd na ddylem byth ddweud 'byth' a chau'r drws yn llwyr ar unrhyw syniadau. Nid ydym yn barod i wneud hynny. Mae'n ymddangos eich bod chi'n gallu rhagweld beth y gallai fod gan y dyfodol i'w ddweud o ran tystiolaeth, ond a bod yn onest, rhowch y gorau i refru am Loegr; dywedwch wrthym beth yw eich polisi chi ar y pethau hyn yma yng Nghymru.
English: We can forget the 11-plus exam, we've got 11-plus different attitudes towards grammar schools just on these Conservative benches here, right. You know, you can call yourselves an opposition party - you're an imitation party, I have to say, aping and imitating UKIP on too many policies as far as I'm concerned. Let's be clear on this one, right. Research shows that, where there are grammar schools today, access to them is limited to the most well off. And attainment for those who fail to get into grammar schools is below the national average. They encourage educational inequalities and that's why Plaid Cymru wants to ensure that all children have access to the same opportunities, no matter what their background, and that's why Plaid Cymru will be voting against the proposal this afternoon.
Welsh: Gallwn anghofio am arholiad yr '11-plus', mae gennym '11 a mwy' o agweddau gwahanol tuag at ysgolion gramadeg ar y meinciau Ceidwadol hyn yma'n unig, iawn. Wyddoch chi, gallwch alw eich hun yn blaid yr wrthblaid - plaid ddynwaredol ydych chi, rhaid i mi ddweud, yn efelychu a dynwared UKIP ar ormod o bolisïau yn fy marn i. Gadewch i ni fod yn glir ar hyn, iawn. Lle ceir ysgolion gramadeg heddiw, dengys ymchwil fod mynediad atynt yn gyfyngedig i'r rhai mwyaf cefnog. Ac mae cyrhaeddiad y rhai sy'n methu mynd i mewn i ysgolion gramadeg yn is na'r cyfartaledd cenedlaethol. Maent yn annog anghydraddoldebau addysgol a dyna pam y mae Plaid Cymru eisiau sicrhau bod pob plentyn yn cael mynediad at yr un cyfleoedd, waeth beth yw eu cefndir, a dyna pam y bydd Plaid Cymru yn pleidleisio yn erbyn y cynnig y prynhawn yma.
English: When I first entered teacher training college, the education landscape was very different to that we see today. The academically inclined did go to grammar schools, but those who were more suited to a vocation went to a secondary modern school. State grammar schools were educating hundreds of thousands of pupils, offering a free education comparable to that of fee-paying schools. Unfortunately, those who were ideologically opposed to any form of selection launched a campaign to destroy every grammar school in the country and introduced the comprehensive system. The comprehensive system put an end to academic selection and forced all pupils to go to their local school, even if that meant larger class sizes and inferior education. Under the comprehensive system, we have seen a levelling down, I feel, of pupil attainment. Larger class sizes have meant that there is less one-to-one contact between teacher and pupil, and in many instances, the role of the teacher has been reduced to that of a facilitator rather than an instructor. Study after study has shown the social engineering project that is the comprehensive system is failing. We have had an accelerating decline in standards and we are falling behind our peers in international league tables.
Welsh: Pan euthum i goleg hyfforddi athrawon gyntaf, roedd y dirwedd addysg yn wahanol iawn i'r hyn a welwn heddiw. Roedd y rhai â thueddiad academaidd yn mynd i ysgolion gramadeg, ond roedd y rhai a oedd yn tueddu mwy at alwedigaeth yn mynd i ysgol uwchradd fodern. Roedd ysgolion gramadeg gwladol yn addysgu cannoedd o filoedd o ddisgyblion, ac yn cynnig addysg am ddim y gellid ei chymharu ag addysg ysgolion a oedd yn codi ffioedd. Yn anffodus, lansiwyd ymgyrch gan y rhai oedd â gwrthwynebiad ideolegol i unrhyw fath o ddethol i ddinistrio pob ysgol ramadeg yn y wlad a chyflwyno'r system gyfun. Rhoddodd y system gyfun ddiwedd ar ddethol academaidd a gorfodi pob disgybl i fynd i'w hysgol leol, hyd yn oed os oedd hynny'n golygu dosbarthiadau mwy o faint ac addysg israddol. O dan y system gyfun, rydym wedi gweld cyrhaeddiad disgyblion yn gostwng, rwy'n teimlo. Mae dosbarthiadau mwy o faint wedi golygu bod llai o gyswllt un i un rhwng athro a disgybl, ac mewn llawer o achosion, mae rôl yr athro wedi cael ei chyfyngu i rôl hwylusydd yn hytrach na hyfforddwr. Mae un astudiaeth ar ôl y llall wedi dangos bod prosiect peirianneg gymdeithasol y system gyfun yn methu. Rydym wedi gweld y gostyngiad yn y safonau'n cyflymu ac rydym yn disgyn ar ôl ein cymheiriaid yn y tablau cynghrair rhyngwladol.
