English: Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. Over the past three years, we have seen a step change in the development of digital learning, on a scale that we could never have anticipated before the COVID-19 pandemic. I want to pay tribute to the dedication of our staff and leaders across the whole education sector, who worked to keep our learners engaged during a period of unprecedented challenge. It's now time to look forward. We have an exciting opportunity to consider how teaching and learning can evolve to meet the changing needs of learners, the changing needs of the economy and the changing needs of society - these are ever-changing needs. And this is is about harnessing the potential of technology to enhance learning experiences and widen access to learning opportunities for people in Wales. Our new school curriculum will help to develop pupils' digital competence, and I want to ensure that our young people can continue on that journey as they progress into post-16 learning. The further education sector is also at the forefront of our plans to equip learners of all ages with the skills they need to progress into meaningful, fulfilling work. Effective vocational learning means working with the tools and techniques used by modern industry, and our colleges have forged strong partnerships with employers to help fulfil the digital skills mission in the digital strategy for Wales. In spring of last year, I set out my overall vision for the further education sector in Wales. I made it clear that I expect digital tools and technologies to become a natural part of a learner's journey, as part of a modern, coherent approach to learning. We already have a strong foundation to help make this ambition a reality. Our strategic framework for digital learning, namely 'Digital 2030', which was published in 2019, was co-produced with the post-16 sector. We are using the vision, aims and objectives set out in 'Digital 2030' to guide investment and support for the sector.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Dros y tair blynedd diwethaf, rŷn ni wedi gweld newid mawr yn natblygiad dysgu digidol ar raddfa na allen ni erioed fod wedi ei rhagweld cyn pandemig COVID-19. Dwi am dalu teyrnged i ymroddiad ein staff a'n harweinwyr ar draws y sector addysg a weithiodd i gynnal brwdfrydedd ein dysgwyr yn ystod cyfnod o her na welwyd ei thebyg o'r blaen. Mae'n amser nawr i edrych ymlaen. Mae gyda ni gyfle cyffrous i ystyried sut y gall addysgu a dysgu esblygu i ddiwallu anghenion dysgwyr, anghenion yr economi a chymdeithas - anghenion sydd, wrth gwrs, yn newid o hyd. Mae hyn yn golygu harneisio potensial technoleg i wella profiadau dysgu ac ehangu mynediad pobl yng Nghymru i gyfleoedd dysgu. Bydd ein cwricwlwm newydd i ysgolion yn help i ddatblygu gallu digidol disgyblion, ac rwyf am wneud yn siŵr bod ein pobl ifanc yn gallu parhau gyda'r daith honno wrth iddyn nhw symud ymlaen i ddysgu ôl-16. Mae'r sector addysg bellach hefyd yn rhan ganolog o'n cynlluniau ni i roi'r sgiliau sydd eu hangen i ddysgwyr o bob oed, er mwyn gallu symud ymlaen i waith ystyrlon, sy'n dod â boddhad iddyn nhw. Mae dysgu galwedigaethol effeithiol yn golygu gweithio gyda'r adnoddau a'r technegau sy'n cael eu defnyddio o fewn diwydiant modern, ac mae ein colegau ni wedi creu partneriaethau cryf gyda chyflogwyr er mwyn helpu i gyflawni'r amcan o ran sgiliau digidol yn y strategaeth ddigidol i Gymru. Yng ngwanwyn y llynedd, fe wnes i nodi fy ngweledigaeth gyffredinol ar gyfer y sector addysg bellach yng Nghymru. Fe'i wnes i'n glir fy mod yn disgwyl i adnoddau a thechnolegau digidol ddod yn rhan naturiol o daith dysgwr, a hynny fel rhan o ddull cydlynol, modern o ddysgu. Eisoes, mae gyda ni sylfaen gref i helpu i wireddu'r uchelgais hon. Fe gafodd ein fframwaith strategol ar gyfer dysgu digidol, 'Digidol 2030', a gyhoeddwyd yn 2019, ei gydlunio ochr yn ochr gyda'r sector ôl-16. Rŷn ni'n defnyddio'r weledigaeth, y nodau a'r amcanion sydd yn 'Digidol 2030' fel sail i'n buddsoddiad a'n cymorth ar gyfer y sector.
