English: Thanks for that response. We have covered quite a few issues today related to remote learning. I know there is support for parents who are carrying out home teaching on the Hwb, which you mentioned earlier, which is good, and I also appreciate there is an issue of how much guidance the Welsh Government should provide. It is a bit of a balancing act, as you suggested in an earlier answer. David Melding just cited the good practice of Headlands School, and I think that's interesting, because I'm wondering, in the longer term, once we've emerged from the COVID crisis, if you see any positives arising from the experience of remote learning that we have gone through.
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb. Rydym wedi ymdrin â chryn dipyn o faterion heddiw sy'n ymwneud â dysgu o bell. Gwn fod cefnogaeth i rieni sy'n addysgu gartref ar yr Hwb, y sonioch chi amdano'n gynharach, sy'n dda, ac rwyf hefyd yn derbyn bod mater yn codi o ran faint o ganllawiau y dylai Llywodraeth Cymru eu darparu. Mae'n ymwneud â sicrhau cydbwysedd, fel yr awgrymoch chi mewn ateb cynharach. Cyfeiriodd David Melding at arferion da Ysgol Headlands, ac rwy'n credu bod hynny'n ddiddorol, oherwydd rwy'n meddwl tybed, yn y tymor hwy, pan fyddwn wedi cefnu ar argyfwng COVID, a ydych yn rhagweld unrhyw bethau cadarnhaol yn deillio o'r profiad rydym wedi'i gael o ddysgu o bell.
English: It is difficult to find silver linings at this most challenging of times, but there are indeed things that we need to learn. For some children who find the school environment challenging, additional new approaches to delivering education are being developed at this time and could be used to assist those individuals. I spoke to one young man in a school in north Wales who had been receiving his distance learning in the firebreak, and he said that he much preferred it to being in school, if for no other reason than he didn't have to suffer the hour-long journey that he has to suffer in the morning to travel to his place of education. I don't wish to be flippant, but there are lessons that we can learn, and there is good practice that we can share. David Melding just talked about the example of Headlands. I'm grateful to Ceredigion council, who have offered up the opportunity to support schools in other areas, because they have the experience of the E-sgol that has run for a number of years now, which delivers entire A-levels via a remote learning method to great success. I know that they are very keen to be able to spread their expertise that they have been able to acquire over recent years to be able to develop and support distance learning in other parts of Wales, for which I am grateful. It shows the collective effort that exists in the Welsh education system to do right by Wales's children at this very challenging time.
Welsh: Mae'n anodd dod o hyd i fanteision ar yr adegau mwyaf heriol hyn, ond yn wir mae yna bethau y mae angen inni eu dysgu. I rai plant sy'n gweld amgylchedd yr ysgol yn heriol, mae dulliau newydd ychwanegol o ddarparu addysg yn cael eu datblygu ar yr adeg hon y gellid eu defnyddio i gynorthwyo'r unigolion hynny. Siaradais ag un dyn ifanc mewn ysgol yng ngogledd Cymru a oedd wedi bod yn cael ei addysg o bell yn ystod y cyfnod atal byr, a dywedodd ei fod yn llawer gwell ganddo hynny na mynychu'r ysgol, a hynny'n unig am nad oedd yn rhaid iddo ddioddef y daith awr o hyd i'w leoliad addysg sy'n rhaid iddo ei dioddef yn y bore. Nid wyf eisiau bod yn ysgafn, ond mae yna wersi y gallwn eu dysgu, ac mae yna arferion da y gallwn eu rhannu. Soniodd David Melding am enghraifft Headlands. Rwy'n ddiolchgar i gyngor Ceredigion, sydd wedi cynnig cyfle i gynorthwyo ysgolion mewn ardaloedd eraill, oherwydd mae ganddynt brofiad o'r rhaglen E-sgol sydd wedi bod yn mynd rhagddi ers nifer o flynyddoedd bellach, ac sy'n darparu pynciau Safon Uwch cyfan o bell yn llwyddiannus iawn. Gwn eu bod yn awyddus iawn i allu lledaenu'r arbenigedd y maent wedi'i feithrin dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf er mwyn gallu datblygu a chefnogi dysgu o bell mewn rhannau eraill o Gymru, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar am hynny. Mae'n dangos y cydymdrech sy'n bodoli yn system addysg Cymru i gefnogi plant Cymru ar yr adeg heriol hon.
English: Thank you very much, Mandy. COVID-19 has had a major impact on education, including necessitating the current move to online learning for the majority of our children. I commissioned Estyn to undertake a review of local authorities' and regional consortia's approaches to supporting learning and vulnerable learners during the pandemic, and that will be published later this week.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Mandy. Mae COVID-19 wedi cael effaith fawr ar addysg, gan gynnwys y newid presennol i ddysgu ar-lein ar gyfer y rhan fwyaf o'n plant. Comisiynais Estyn i gynnal adolygiad o ddulliau awdurdodau lleol a chonsortia rhanbarthol o gefnogi dysgu a dysgwyr sy'n agored i niwed yn ystod y pandemig, a bydd hwnnw'n cael ei gyhoeddi yn ddiweddarach yr wythnos hon.
English: Minister, I've expressed my concerns about our young people previously, but I'm now being contacted by worried parents about the standard and consistency of the online learning that their children are receiving. Apart from what Llyr and Mark said earlier, the Welsh future generations commissioner has also said that a chief digital officer for education could be needed. Can you say what guidance schools have received about remote provision and what efforts are being made to ensure a consistent approach, so that it's not patchy and inconsistent, to ensure that kids in school A will get a comparable online education to the kids in school B? And will we be seeing a possible digital education officer in Wales any time soon?
Welsh: Weinidog, rwyf wedi mynegi fy mhryderon am ein pobl ifanc yn y gorffennol, ond mae rhieni pryderus yn cysylltu â mi yn awr ynglŷn â safon a chysondeb y dysgu ar-lein y mae eu plant yn ei dderbyn. Ar wahân i'r hyn a ddywedodd Llyr a Mark yn gynharach, mae comisiynydd cenedlaethau'r dyfodol Cymru hefyd wedi dweud y gallai fod angen prif swyddog digidol ar gyfer addysg. A allwch chi ddweud pa ganllawiau y mae ysgolion wedi'u cael mewn perthynas â darpariaeth o bell a pha ymdrechion sy'n cael eu gwneud i sicrhau dull cyson, fel nad yw'n dameidiog ac yn anghyson, er mwyn sicrhau y bydd plant yn ysgol A yn derbyn addysg ar-lein y gellir ei chymharu â'r addysg y mae plant yn ysgol B yn ei derbyn? Ac a fyddwn yn gweld swyddog addysg ddigidol posibl yng Nghymru yn fuan?
English: We have got a chief digital officer for the Welsh Government, who, I understand, has been in correspondence with said commissioner around the approach that Wales is taking at this time. There is considerable guidance that has been published. That guidance is regularly updated to respond to the public health scenario that we find at this time. As I said, we also have additional guidance to support practitioners, not only from the Welsh Government but from Estyn and from the regional school improvement service. Perhaps more importantly than the guidance, there is practical support available, and in your region, I would commend the work that GwE has done to develop distance learning skills for our practitioners during the autumn term, which has been very well received.
Welsh: Mae gennym brif swyddog digidol ar gyfer Llywodraeth Cymru, sydd, yn ôl yr hyn a ddeallaf, wedi bod yn gohebu â'r comisiynydd dan sylw ynghylch y dull y mae Cymru'n ei ddilyn ar hyn o bryd. Mae cryn dipyn o ganllawiau wedi'u cyhoeddi. Mae'r canllawiau hynny'n cael eu diweddaru'n rheolaidd i ymateb i'r senario iechyd cyhoeddus a welwn ar hyn o bryd. Fel y dywedais, mae gennym hefyd ganllawiau ychwanegol i gefnogi addysgwyr, nid yn unig gan Lywodraeth Cymru ond gan Estyn a'r gwasanaeth gwella ysgolion rhanbarthol. Yn bwysicach na'r canllawiau efallai, mae cymorth ymarferol ar gael, ac yn eich rhanbarth chi, rwy'n cymeradwyo'r gwaith y mae GwE wedi'i wneud ar ddatblygu sgiliau dysgu o bell i'n haddysgwyr yn ystod tymor yr hydref, gwaith sydd wedi cael derbyniad da iawn.
English: Item 3 on the agenda is questions to the Senedd Commission. All the questions this afternoon will be answered by the Llywydd. Question 1, Helen Mary Jones.
Welsh: Eitem 3 ar yr agenda yw'r cwestiynau i Gomisiwn y Senedd. Bydd yr holl gwestiynau y prynhawn yma yn cael eu hateb gan y Llywydd. Cwestiwn 1, Helen Mary Jones.
English: Last year, education resources were co-produced with young people and education professionals. These were later adapted for home learning due to the COVID-19 restrictions and they are offered directly to schools through the Hwb platform. Since the beginning of the autumn term, our education team has been delivering virtual sessions to schools and colleges across Wales and they will continue to do so.
Welsh: Y llynedd, cafodd adnoddau addysg eu cynhyrchu ar y cyd â phobl ifanc a gweithwyr proffesiynol ym maes addysg. Addaswyd y rhain yn ddiweddarach ar gyfer dysgu gartref oherwydd cyfyngiadau COVID-19 ac fe'u cynigir yn uniongyrchol i ysgolion hefyd drwy blatfform Hwb. Ers dechrau tymor yr hydref, mae ein tîm addysg wedi bod yn cyflwyno sesiynau rhithwir i ysgolion a cholegau ar hyd a lled Cymru a byddant yn parhau i wneud hynny.
English: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Thank you very much. I'm sure that all Members will be very much encouraged to hear that the work has been adapted and is continuing. Is there anything further that the Commission feels that individual Members of the Senedd might be able to do to help promote young people's understanding of their new rights to vote?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Lywydd. Rwy'n siŵr y bydd pob Aelod yn falch iawn o glywed bod y gwaith wedi'i addasu ac yn parhau. A oes unrhyw beth arall y teimla'r Comisiwn y gallai Aelodau unigol o'r Senedd ei wneud i helpu i hyrwyddo dealltwriaeth pobl ifanc o'u hawliau newydd i bleidleisio?
English: Well, to take all possible opportunities to do so, when you're either speaking directly on Zoom in any meeting with young people in your constituency, or whether you are on broader media. I had an opportunity on Heno on Monday evening on S4C to once again promote the new right that young people in Wales will have - those who are 16 and 17 years of age - to vote the Senedd elections. So, use social media, and use all possible media to promote the reality of the situation, namely that young people do have the vote here, and encourage as many of them as possible, first of all to ensure that they are registered to vote, and then to use their vote. I'm sure that there will be some party politics coming into that as we approach the election, but what is most important is that the people of Wales use their vote, but particularly those who are 16 and 17 years old, who will use it for the first time in the Senedd elections.
Welsh: Wel, cymryd pob cyfle sydd ar gael i'r Aelodau wneud hynny pan rŷch chi naill ai'n siarad yn uniongyrchol ar Zoom mewn unrhyw gyfarfod â phobl ifanc yn eich etholaeth chi, neu'n siarad ar y cyfryngau yn ehangach. Fe ges i gyfle ar y rhaglen Heno nos Lun i hyrwyddo unwaith eto yr hawl newydd sydd gan bobl ifanc yng Nghymru - pobl 16 ac 17 oed - i bleidleisio yn etholiadau'r Senedd. Felly, defnyddiwch eich cyfryngau cymdeithasol, a defnyddiwch bob cyfrwng posibl arall sydd gyda chi, i hyrwyddo realiti'r sefyllfa nawr bod gan bobl ifanc y bleidlais yma, gan annog cymaint ohonyn nhw yn gyntaf i sicrhau eu bod wedi cofrestru ar eu cofrestrau lleol, ac wedyn i ddefnyddio eu pleidlais nhw. Mae'n siŵr y bydd yna damaid bach o wleidyddiaeth bleidiol yn dod i mewn i hynny wrth inni agosáu tuag at yr etholiad, ond yr hyn sydd bwysicaf oll yw bod pobl Cymru, yn eu cyfanrwydd, yn defnyddio eu pleidlais, ond bod pobl ifanc 16 ac 17 oed yn ei defnyddio hi am y tro cyntaf yn etholiad y Senedd.
English: Llywydd, although we live in this abnormal environment, there is a tremendous opportunity that arises now from the online learning. It seems to me something more direct, which is actually using it also as a tool of engagement - not in terms of any form of political direction, but in terms of specifically identifying, among that 16 to 17 group, and promoting the right to vote, the right to registration, and making it part of it. It is a tool that could actually promote that. I wonder if you've thought about how that might occur. I know that it might involve engagement with the education Minister or whatever, but it seems to me that it's an opportunity not to be missed.
Welsh: Lywydd, er ein bod yn byw yn yr amgylchedd anarferol hwn, mae cyfle gwych yn codi nawr o ddysgu ar-lein. Ymddengys i mi ei fod yn rhywbeth mwy uniongyrchol, sef ei ddefnyddio hefyd fel offeryn ymgysylltu - nid ar gyfer unrhyw fath o gyfarwyddyd gwleidyddol, ond ar gyfer nodi'n benodol, ymhlith y grŵp 16 i 17 oed hwnnw, a hyrwyddo'r hawl i bleidleisio, yr hawl i gofrestru, a'i wneud yn rhan ohono. Mae'n offeryn a allai hyrwyddo hynny. Tybed a ydych wedi meddwl sut y gallai hynny ddigwydd? Gwn y gallai hynny olygu ymgysylltu â'r Gweinidog addysg neu beth bynnag, ond ymddengys i mi ei fod yn gyfle na ddylid ei golli.
English: Well, certainly we are aware that our young people are the most digitally aware cohort of the population. Therefore, adapting how we promote the new rights that young people now have to vote as 16 and 17-year-olds in Wales - adapting that to digital platforms that they are very well used to, either in social media or in the educational platforms that they are using every day now, is something that we are doing. As I said in my answer to Helen Mary, we are already placing our resources that are available to schools and to young people on the Hwb platform and other platforms. So, I agree with the question as posed by Mick Antoniw, yes, that there are plenty of opportunities for us to do more in new ways with young people in promoting their democratic experience. But we do so in the - I think you used this term - abnormal context that we are in, Mick Antoniw, and we've just heard the challenges that that poses to our young people as well in the previous set of questions to the education Minister. So, there is a balance to be struck here, but exercising their democratic right in the next election is something that we are excited about, and we want to make sure that young people in Wales are informed of that new right and how to exercise it.
Welsh: Wel, rydym yn sicr yn gwybod mai ein pobl ifanc yw'r garfan o'r boblogaeth sydd fwyaf ymwybodol yn ddigidol. Felly, mae addasu'r ffordd rydym yn hyrwyddo'r hawliau newydd sydd gan bobl ifanc i bleidleisio bellach fel pobl 16 a 17 oed yng Nghymru - mae addasu hynny i blatfformau digidol y maent wedi hen arfer â hwy, naill ai ar ffurf cyfryngau cymdeithasol neu ar y platfformau addysgol y maent yn eu defnyddio bob dydd bellach, yn rhywbeth rydym yn ei wneud. Fel y dywedais yn fy ateb i Helen Mary, rydym eisoes yn rhoi ein hadnoddau sydd ar gael i ysgolion ac i bobl ifanc ar blatfform Hwb a phlatfformau eraill. Felly, rwy'n cytuno â'r cwestiwn a ofynnwyd gan Mick Antoniw, fod yna ddigon o gyfleoedd inni wneud mwy mewn ffyrdd newydd gyda phobl ifanc i hyrwyddo eu profiad democrataidd. Ond rydym yn gwneud hynny - credaf ichi ddefnyddio'r term hwn - yn y cyd-destun anarferol rydym ynddo, Mick Antoniw, ac rydym newydd glywed yr heriau y mae hynny'n eu creu i'n pobl ifanc hefyd yn y set flaenorol o gwestiynau i'r Gweinidog addysg. Felly, mae cydbwysedd i'w gael yma, ond mae arfer eu hawl ddemocrataidd yn yr etholiad nesaf yn rhywbeth rydym yn gyffrous yn ei gylch, ac rydym yn awyddus i sicrhau bod pobl ifanc yng Nghymru yn cael gwybod am yr hawl newydd honno a sut i'w harfer.
English: I really welcome the innovations that have been done for the provision online in these difficult circumstances, and I think that it's commendable. I just wonder whether we are missing a trick here for the future - although it's probably too late for this one. I wonder if I could ask your views on whether the Commission would be willing to explore a concept that I strongly support - which they do in other countries such as Sweden, and so on - where they actually use their resources to provide a proper, actual election going on in schools, contemporaneous with the election going on in wider society, for 14-year-olds, for 15-year-olds and so on, so that they are ready. I just wonder, in the future, would this be something that the Commission, and the expertise that it has at its fingertips, would be willing to explore - to take the lead role in doing this within our schools, to prepare young people for democratic engagement?
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'r datblygiadau arloesol a wnaed ar gyfer y ddarpariaeth ar-lein o dan yr amgylchiadau anodd hyn, a chredaf eu bod yn ganmoladwy. Ond tybed a ydym yn colli cyfle yma ar gyfer y dyfodol - er ei bod yn rhy hwyr i'r un hwn, mae'n debyg. Tybed a gaf fi ofyn beth yw eich barn ynglŷn ag a fyddai'r Comisiwn yn barod i archwilio cysyniad rwy'n ei gefnogi'n gryf - sy'n rhywbeth y maent yn ei wneud mewn gwledydd eraill fel Sweden, ac yn y blaen - lle maent yn defnyddio eu hadnoddau i ddarparu etholiad go iawn mewn ysgolion, ar yr un pryd â'r etholiad sy'n digwydd yn y gymdeithas ehangach, ar gyfer pobl ifanc 14 oed, ar gyfer pobl ifanc 15 oed ac ati, fel eu bod yn barod. Yn y dyfodol, tybed a fyddai hyn yn rhywbeth y byddai'r Comisiwn, a'r arbenigedd sydd ganddo ar flaenau ei fysedd, yn barod i'w archwilio - i gymryd rhan arweiniol yn gwneud hyn yn ein hysgolion, i baratoi pobl ifanc ar gyfer ymgysylltu'n ddemocrataidd?
English: Well, the mock election of 1983 at Lampeter Comprehensive School was the first election that I took part in, a long time ago, and that was very direct experience. I won't share with you now what political party I stood for at the time, but I've learnt the error of my ways since then. But just to say that the exact direct role of electing and elections in a context that the young people are familiar with, and relating that to the real world - we know that school councils and primary schools and many young people are involved in different democratic ways already. I think that you pose an interesting prospect of formalising that probably a bit more than it's currently done. As you've hinted, it's probably too late for this set of Senedd elections, but it's certainly, I think, something that we could look at into the future. I'd certainly be interested in asking the Commission of the future to look into that for future elections. By the way, I won the election in 1983 in Lampeter Comprehensive School.
Welsh: Wel, ffug etholiad 1983 yn Ysgol Gyfun Llanbedr Pont Steffan oedd yr etholiad cyntaf imi gymryd rhan ynddo, amser maith yn ôl, ac roedd hwnnw'n brofiad uniongyrchol iawn. Nid wyf am rannu gyda chi nawr pa blaid wleidyddol y sefais drosti ar y pryd, ond rwyf wedi dysgu o fy nghamgymeriadau ers hynny. Ond hoffwn ddweud bod rôl uniongyrchol ethol ac etholiadau mewn cyd-destun y mae'r bobl ifanc yn gyfarwydd ag ef, a chysylltu hynny â'r byd go iawn - gwyddom fod cynghorau ysgol ac ysgolion cynradd a llawer o bobl ifanc yn ymwneud â democratiaeth mewn gwahanol ffyrdd eisoes. Rwy'n credu eich bod yn awgrymu syniad diddorol ynglŷn â ffurfioli hynny ychydig yn fwy na fel y mae pethau ar hyn o bryd, mae'n debyg. Fel rydych wedi awgrymu, mae'n debyg ei bod yn rhy hwyr ar gyfer y set hon o etholiadau'r Senedd, ond yn sicr, credaf ei fod yn rhywbeth y gallem ei ystyried yn y dyfodol. Yn sicr, byddai gennyf ddiddordeb mewn gofyn i Gomisiwn y dyfodol archwilio hynny ar gyfer etholiadau yn y dyfodol. Gyda llaw, fi enillodd yr etholiad yn 1983 yn Ysgol Gyfun Llanbedr Pont Steffan.
English: I don't think that was ever in doubt. Question 2, Mandy Jones.
Welsh: Ni chredaf fod unrhyw amheuaeth wedi bod ynglŷn â hynny. Cwestiwn 2, Mandy Jones.
English: Thank you, Deputy Llywydd, and thank you, Llywydd, for that information, it was brilliant.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd, a diolch i chi, Lywydd, am y wybodaeth honno, roedd yn wych.
English: Thank you for the question. As a Commission, we have been learning lessons from new ways of working in response to the pandemic. This has enabled us to continue to support Senedd business, in virtual and hybrid forms, as well as the work of Members in the Senedd and in their constituency office. In the spring, the Commission meeting will evaluate our learning over the course of the fifth Senedd, particularly the past 12 months, and we will be using what we have learnt in preparation for the sixth Senedd.
Welsh: Diolch am y Cwestiwn. Fel Comisiwn, rŷn ni wedi bod yn dysgu gwersi o'r dulliau newydd o weithio wrth ymateb i'r pandemig. Mae hyn wedi caniatáu inni barhau i gynorthwyo i gynnal busnes y Senedd, ar ffurfiau rhithwir a hybrid, yn ogystal â gwaith yr Aelodau yn y Senedd a'u swyddfeydd etholaethol. Yn y gwanwyn, bydd cyfarfod y Comisiwn yn ystyried gwerthuso yr hyn a ddysgwyd yn ystod y pumed Senedd, yn enwedig y flwyddyn ddiwethaf yma, a defnyddio yr hyn a ddysgwyd i baratoi ar gyfer y chweched Senedd.
English: Thank you for that answer. I'd like to pay tribute to all Commission staff and, indeed, all political support staff who have adapted so quickly and effectively to a completely different way of working. I really miss the vibrancy of the Senedd when it is operating as it used to. I miss the support staff there and all the other staff around, especially security - you could have a really, really good laugh with them, no matter what the weather was outside. However, we've now proved the concept that hybrid sessions work and are feasible, as is remote voting. Considering the benefits to be had in terms of carbon footprint reduction at the very least, does the Commission intend to make any adjustments to the conduct of its parliamentary business in the sixth Senedd term? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb. Hoffwn dalu teyrnged i holl staff y Comisiwn, ac yn wir, i'r holl staff cymorth gwleidyddol sydd wedi addasu mor gyflym ac mor effeithiol i ffordd gwbl wahanol o weithio. Rwy'n gweld colli bywiogrwydd y Senedd yn fawr pan fo'n gweithredu fel yr arferai wneud. Rwy'n gweld colli'r staff cymorth yno, a'r holl staff eraill o gwmpas y lle, yn enwedig y staff diogelwch - gallech gael llawer iawn o hwyl gyda hwy, ni waeth sut olwg oedd ar y tywydd y tu allan. Fodd bynnag, rydym bellach wedi profi'r cysyniad fod sesiynau hybrid yn gweithio ac yn ymarferol, yn ogystal â phleidleisio o bell. O ystyried y buddion sydd i'w cael o ran lleihau ôl troed carbon o leiaf, a yw'r Comisiwn yn bwriadu gwneud unrhyw addasiadau i'w fusnes seneddol yn chweched tymor y Senedd? Diolch.
