English: Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. Last year saw the introduction of a new name for our flagship education infrastructure investment programme, namely the sustainable communities for learning programme. In doing so, we are making a clear statement about our commitments for the environment and future generations. To date, the programme has provided over £1.5 billion-worth of capital investment to support the delivery of 255 school and college projects. Building on this, our programme for government commits a further £1.5 billion-worth of additional investment for the next phase, to deliver new schools and colleges across Wales. The programme's success reflects the strong collaborative partnership we have with local authorities, the Welsh Local Government Association, CollegesWales and diocesan authorities. It's allowed us to make strategic local decisions on education investment priorities across Wales, whilst providing a platform for the delivery of national priorities at the same time, including the new Curriculum for Wales. In response to our delivery partners' needs for a more agile programme, I have decided to introduce a rolling programme for delivery. The lessons learned from band A, and the transition into band B, highlighted both the complexity and protracted nature of delivering projects through the previous fixed programme timelines. And, to that end, a rolling programme is being implemented to improve efficiency for both partners and Welsh Government, strengthening one of the programme's key attributes, namely that of projects progressing at pace and based on the priorities of our delivery partners. School transformation remains a vital outcome of our investment in the programme. As a Government, we are clear that it isn't just about bricks and mortar. Well-designed buildings and pleasant surroundings play a key role in supporting both staff and learners, delivering high standards and aspirations for all. Delivery partners are expected to submit their new strategic outline programmes at a time to suit their progress through their existing programme - typically above 60 percent of programme value - thereby initiating commencement of their rolling programme. The current five-year strategic outline programmes will therefore be replaced by nine-year strategic outline programmes that will enhance the planning of future investment. Rolling programmes will be submitted to the Welsh Government for review and consideration towards providing a staged commitment and support, with three-year reviews of their programmes to adjust and add further pipeline projects.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Y llynedd, cyflwynwyd enw newydd ar gyfer ein rhaglen buddsoddi mewn seilwaith addysg flaenllaw, sef rhaglen cymunedau dysgu cynaliadwy, a thrwy hyn rydym ni'n gwneud datganiad clir am ein hymrwymiadau ar gyfer yr amgylchedd a chenedlaethau'r dyfodol. Hyd yn hyn, mae'r rhaglen wedi darparu dros £1.5 biliwn o fuddsoddiad cyfalaf i gefnogi cyflwyno 255 o brosiectau ysgol a choleg. Gan adeiladu ar hyn, mae ein rhaglen lywodraethu yn ymrwymo £1.5 biliwn o fuddsoddiad ychwanegol ar gyfer y cam nesaf, i ddarparu ysgolion a cholegau newydd ledled Cymru. Mae llwyddiant y rhaglen yn adlewyrchu'r bartneriaeth gydweithredol gref sydd gennym gydag awdurdodau lleol, Cymdeithas Lywodraeth Leol Cymru, ColegauCymru ac awdurdodau esgobaethol. Mae wedi caniatáu inni wneud penderfyniadau strategol lleol ar flaenoriaethau buddsoddi mewn addysg ledled Cymru, gan roi llwyfan ar gyfer cyflwyno blaenoriaethau cenedlaethol ar yr un pryd, gan gynnwys y Cwricwlwm i Gymru newydd. Mewn ymateb i anghenion ein partneriaid cyflenwi ar gyfer rhaglen fwy hyblyg, rwyf wedi penderfynu cyflwyno rhaglen dreigl ar gyfer cyflawni. Amlygodd y gwersi a ddysgwyd o fand A, a'r newid i fand B, pa mor gymhleth a hirfaith oedd darparu prosiectau drwy amserlen sefydlog y rhaglen flaenorol. I'r perwyl hwn, mae'r rhaglen dreigl yn cael ei rhoi ar waith i wella effeithlonrwydd ar gyfer partneriaid a Llywodraeth Cymru, gan gryfhau un o brif briodoleddau'r rhaglen, sef prosiectau sy'n symud ymlaen ar gyflymder ac ar sail blaenoriaethau ein partneriaid cyflenwi. Mae trawsnewidiad yr ysgol yn parhau i fod yn ganlyniad hanfodol i'n buddsoddiad yn y rhaglen. Fel Llywodraeth, rydym yn glir nad brics a morter yn unig yw hyn. Mae adeiladau sydd wedi eu dylunio'n dda ac amgylchoedd dymunol yn chwarae rhan allweddol o ran cefnogi staff a dysgwyr, gan sicrhau safonau a dyheadau uchel i bawb. Disgwylir i bartneriaid cyflenwi gyflwyno eu rhaglen amlinellol strategol newydd ar adeg sy'n cyd-fynd â'u cynnydd trwy eu rhaglen bresennol - fel arfer, uwch na 60 y cant o werth y rhaglen - a thrwy hynny, cychwyn eu rhaglen dreigl. Mae'r rhaglenni amlinellol strategol pum mlynedd presennol, felly, yn cael eu disodli gan raglenni amlinellol strategol naw mlynedd a fydd yn gwella'r cynllunio ar gyfer buddsoddiadau yn y dyfodol. Bydd rhaglenni treigl yn cael eu cyflwyno i Lywodraeth Cymru eu hadolygu a'u hystyried ar gyfer darparu ymrwymiad cam wrth gam a chefnogaeth, gydag adolygiadau fesul tair blynedd o'r rhaglenni i addasu ac ychwanegu prosiectau pellach.
