English: Can I thank the Cabinet Secretary for her statement this afternoon and can I reiterate her thanks to Professor Hazelkorn for her work, of course, leading the review? Plaid Cymru supports the general thrust of your statement this afternoon and we are committed, of course, to work in the spirit of Hazelkorn to promote equity between academic and vocational education to eliminate much of the wasteful competition that has emerged in post-16 education in recent years and, of course, to develop clearer and more flexible post-16 learning pathways. So, just a few questions, really, in terms of detail, maybe, more than anything else, although I would start by asking you to clarify that I am right, I think, in reading into your statement a clear signal that the Welsh Government will now pursue vigorously a move away from a market-demand-driven system to a better mix, as Hazelkorn says, of regulation and competition-based funding. In terms of the tertiary education authority - and we have to get used to new acronyms every day in this place - as you know, one of the key decisions that will need to be made is where sixth forms sit in this new proposed structure. I'm just interested in your initial thoughts around whether they should remain as they are - very much part of the school system, beholden to Estyn in terms of inspections, et cetera - or whether you do see them actually coming now as a post-16 provision under the proposed new tertiary education authority, if or when that comes into being. Likewise, of course, we are aware of the proposed extension of the remit of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol into FE, with the Coleg Cymraeg being directly funded now by Welsh Government. Where will that discussion happen in relation to its relationship with the proposed TEA? You say in your statement that it's critical that we hear from learners, leaders and practitioners in this process, and I couldn't agree more, but would you not agree that that needs to be an ongoing thing, and that when it comes, for example, to the TEA governing board, staff and students should have a representation on that board, so that obviously those voices can continue to be heard? There's no specifics around timescale here, although I do note the agreement of a further three-year period for the chair of HEFCW - maybe you could give us an idea of whether you therefore expect this process to conclude within those three years. You slipped in announcements about two further reviews towards the end of the statement. The review of research and innovation activity - clearly we've had the Diamond review, which, one would imagine, would have overlapped somewhat. Maybe you could elaborate a bit about what you expect from the review by Professor Graeme Reid over and above Diamond and the thinking behind asking for that. And finally, the other review that you've announced this afternoon around how we monitor and improve effectiveness and outcomes: is this your first move, maybe, in creating a Welsh version of the teaching excellence framework? Or would it be, potentially, your first move in rebutting the TEF in Wales?
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet am ei datganiad y prynhawn yma ac a gaf i ailadrodd ei diolch hi i'r Athro Hazelkorn am ei gwaith, wrth gwrs, wrth arwain yr adolygiad? Mae Plaid Cymru yn cefnogi byrdwn cyffredinol eich datganiad y prynhawn yma ac rydym yn ymrwymedig, wrth gwrs, i weithio yn ysbryd Hazelkorn i hyrwyddo tegwch rhwng addysg academaidd a galwedigaethol er mwyn dileu llawer o'r gystadleuaeth wastraffus sydd wedi dod i'r amlwg ym maes addysg ôl 16 yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf ac, wrth gwrs, i ddatblygu llwybrau dysgu cliriach a mwy hyblyg ar gyfer addysg ôl 16. Felly, dim ond ambell i gwestiwn, mewn gwirionedd, ynglŷn â'r manylion, efallai, yn fwy na dim, er y byddwn i'n dechrau drwy ofyn i chi egluro fy mod i'n iawn, rwy'n credu, wrth ddehongli eich datganiad fel arwydd clir y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru bellach yn mynd ati'n ddyfal i sicrhau, fel y dywed Hazelkorn, gwell cymysgedd o reoleiddio ac ariannu ar sail cystadleuaeth yn hytrach na system sydd wedi'i seilio ar alw yn y farchnad. O ran yr awdurdod addysg drydyddol - ac mae'n rhaid i ni ddod i arfer ag acronymau newydd bob dydd yn y lle hwn - fel y gwyddoch, un o'r penderfyniadau allweddol y bydd angen eu gwneud yw beth fydd y sefyllfa mewn cysylltiad â chweched dosbarth yn y strwythur arfaethedig newydd hwn. Mae gennyf ddiddordeb yn eich syniadau cychwynnol o ran a ddylen nhw aros fel y maen nhw - yn rhan bwysig o'r system ysgol, yn destun arolygiadau Estyn, ac ati - neu a ydych chi'n eu hystyried erbyn hyn mewn gwirionedd yn dod yn rhan o ddarpariaeth ôl 16 o dan yr awdurdod addysg drydyddol newydd arfaethedig, os daw hwnnw i fodolaeth neu pan fydd hynny'n digwydd. Yn yr un modd, wrth gwrs, rydym ni'n ymwybodol o'r estyniad arfaethedig i gylch gwaith y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol mewn addysg bellach, a'r Coleg Cymraeg bellach yn cael ei ariannu yn uniongyrchol gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Beth fydd y drafodaeth honno o ran ei chysylltiad â'r awdurdod addysg drydyddol arfaethedig? Rydych chi'n dweud yn eich datganiad ei bod hi'n hollbwysig ein bod ni'n clywed gan ddysgwyr, arweinwyr ac ymarferwyr yn y broses hon, ac rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr, ond oni fyddech chi'n cytuno bod angen i hynny fod yn beth parhaus, ac wrth ystyried, er enghraifft, bwrdd llywodraethu'r awdurdod addysg drydyddol, dylai aelodau staff a myfyrwyr gael cynrychiolaeth ar y bwrdd, fel y gall y lleisiau hynny barhau i gael eu clywed? Ni cheir manylion penodol am amserlen yma, er fy mod i'n nodi'r cytundeb â chadeirydd CCAUC am gyfnod o dair blynedd ychwanegol - efallai y gallech chi roi syniad i ni o ba un a ydych chi felly'n disgwyl i'r broses hon ddod i ben o fewn y tair blynedd hynny. Fe wnaethoch chi gyhoeddi dau adolygiad arall tuag at ddiwedd y datganiad. Mae'r adolygiad o weithgarwch arloesi ac ymchwil yn - yn amlwg cawsom ni'r adolygiad Diamond, a fyddai, y byddech chi'n meddwl, wedi gorgyffwrdd rhywfaint. Efallai y gallech chi ymhelaethu ychydig am yr hyn yr ydych chi'n ei ddisgwyl gan adolygiad yr Athro Graeme Reid yn ychwanegol at yr adolygiad Diamond, a'r meddylfryd wrth wraidd gofyn am hynny. Ac yn olaf, ynglŷn â'r adolygiad arall yr ydych wedi'i gyhoeddi y prynhawn yma ynghylch sut yr ydym yn monitro a gwella effeithiolrwydd a chanlyniadau: ai dyma eich cam cyntaf chi, efallai, wrth greu fersiwn Gymraeg o'r fframwaith rhagoriaeth addysgu? Neu ai dyma, o bosibl, eich cam cyntaf wrth fynd ati i wrthbrofi'r fframwaith addysg drydyddol yng Nghymru?
