English: What a good point the Cabinet Secretary makes about international students, and the action she's taken in this Chamber that contrasts so severely with the Conservative UK Government's cynical policy of discouraging international students coming to this country because they affect immigration figures. The Conservative benches in this Chamber should be ashamed of the Conservative Government and that policy. So, this is a very good focus on opening Wales and opening the world to Welsh students. One thing I'm particularly interested in and would welcome is the focus on students, which you've just mentioned, from disadvantaged backgrounds. What I also ask is: it's not just students from disadvantaged backgrounds, but students - future students - who live in communities of multiple deprivation who may not be from disadvantaged backgrounds themselves. So, I'm talking about Valleys communities, particularly places like Senghenydd and Bargoed in my constituency. I went to school in Bargoed. When I was in school, I wouldn't have considered international study - it wouldn't have been on my mind. I didn't come from a disadvantaged background, but it just wasn't in the culture of the school. So, if we're going to encourage students to travel abroad, I think we need to look at how primary school students and secondary school students are educated in the value of international study. People can say to them, 'Well, look, you can get abroad - you can travel abroad - and this will be great for you'. It wasn't until I was 25 and travelling abroad to China to teach that I realised the value of international study. I tell you something: I wouldn't have had the confidence to do it when I was 18.
Welsh: Mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn gwneud pwynt da ynghylch myfyrwyr rhyngwladol, a'r camau y mae hi wedi eu cymryd yn y Siambr hon sy'n cyferbynnu mor eithafol â pholisi sinigaidd Llywodraeth Geidwadol y DU o annog myfyrwyr rhyngwladol i beidio â dod i'r wlad hon am eu bod yn effeithio ar ffigurau mewnfudo. Dylai meinciau'r Ceidwadwyr yn y Siambr hon fod â chywilydd o'r Llywodraeth Geidwadol a'r polisi hwnnw. Felly, mae hyn yn canolbwyntio'n dda iawn ar ymagor Cymru ac agor y byd i fyfyrwyr Cymru. Un peth sydd o ddiddordeb arbennig i mi, ac y byddwn yn ei groesawu, yw'r canolbwyntio ar fyfyrwyr, yr ydych chi newydd ei grybwyll, o gefndiroedd difreintiedig. Yr hyn yr wyf yn ei ofyn hefyd yw: nid myfyrwyr o gefndiroedd difreintiedig yn unig, ond myfyrwyr - myfyrwyr y dyfodol - sy'n byw mewn cymunedau o amddifadedd lluosog nad ydynt eu hunain efallai o gefndiroedd difreintiedig. Felly, sôn yr wyf am gymunedau'r Cymoedd, yn benodol mannau fel Senghennydd a Bargoed yn fy etholaeth i. I'r ysgol ym Margoed yr oeddwn i'n mynd. Pan oeddwn i yn yr ysgol, 'fyddwn i ddim wedi ystyried astudiaeth ryngwladol - ni fyddai wedi croesi fy meddwl. Nid oeddwn i o gefndir difreintiedig, ond nid oedd rhywbeth o'r fath yn rhan o ddiwylliant yr ysgol. Felly, os ydym eisiau annog myfyrwyr i deithio dramor, rwy'n credu bod angen inni edrych ar sut mae disgyblion ysgol gynradd ac ysgol uwchradd yn cael eu haddysgu yng ngwerth astudiaeth ryngwladol. Gall pobl ddweud wrthyn nhw, 'Wel, gallwch chi fynd dramor - gallwch chi deithio dramor - a bydd hyn yn beth ardderchog i chi'. Roeddwn i'n 25 oed ac yn teithio dramor i Tsieina i fod yn athro cyn imi sylweddoli beth oedd gwerth astudiaeth ryngwladol. Gadewch i mi ddweud rhywbeth wrthych chi: 'fyddwn i ddim wedi bod â digon o hyder i wneud hynny pan oeddwn i'n 18 oed.
