English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and thank you for your statement, Cabinet Secretary. I welcome your commitment to the objective of ensuring that all pupils in Wales are digitally competent by the time they leave school. In modern workplaces, there are few jobs that don't require at least some level of competence with digital technology, and few areas of life where it does not now not extend. I'm therefore pleased that such skills are part and parcel of the curriculum. I also welcome the Welsh Government's efforts to educate pupils about cyber-bullying through the digital competence framework. The introduction of a curriculum mapping tool and updated professional needs tools is welcome, and from what you tell us about take-up of the new online resources, it would appear that teachers and pupils find them useful. I welcome your efforts as well to assist and support teachers in developing their teaching to keep up to date in a fast-changing environment. You state that a new professional learning approach will be available from the autumn term. This concept sounds interesting, but you haven't provided any information in your statement about what this might entail, and what the new approach is likely to look like. So, please would you provide some further information on this? The uptake of Hwb by users would indicate that the resources are at least popular, and I welcome that Hwb's ongoing development is off the back of feedback from teachers and regional educational consortia. I am pleased at the Cabinet Secretary's efforts to include such stakeholders in the development of online resources, but it also makes me wonder why parents are not accorded the same privilege, to have their views properly canvassed and taken into account in reports into the quality of schools, in the same way that teachers and regional consortia's views are being canvassed and considered about the quality of online resources. Greater reliance on online tools and IT in the classroom will, of course, lead to an increased demand on school broadband, and I agree with you that it's unacceptable for a school to be at a disadvantage due to poor internet speed. I therefore welcome the additional funds that the Cabinet Secretary has set aside for the improvement of broadband in schools. However, can the Cabinet Secretary please set out what the eligibility criteria are for investment from that fund for school broadband, and on what grounds would a school be denied that funding? What provisions are there in place for a school denied funding for improvement to their broadband to appeal the refusal of funding? I note the Cabinet Secretary's comments about the development of coding skills in schools. In principle, teaching pupils the basic skills that will enable them to take up technological jobs is welcome. Teaching those skills in an effort to better equip school leavers for the world of employment and to stimulate interest in studying coding and data security, et cetera, is essential if we're going to produce our own IT specialists, rather than effectively outsourcing such training and education to other countries. I am therefore looking forward to hearing your statement on the development of coding skills next week. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, a diolch i chi am eich datganiad, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Rwy'n croesawu eich ymrwymiad i'r amcan o sicrhau bod pob disgybl yng Nghymru yn gymwys yn ddigidol erbyn iddo adael yr ysgol. Mewn gweithleoedd modern, ychydig iawn o swyddi sy'n bodoli lle nad oes angen ryw lefel o gymhwysedd mewn technoleg ddigidol, a phrin iawn yw'r meysydd o fywyd lle nad yw'n ymestyn iddynt erbyn hyn. Felly, rwy'n falch o'r ffaith bod sgiliau o'r fath yn rhan annatod o'r cwricwlwm. Hefyd, rwy'n croesawu ymdrechion Llywodraeth Cymru i addysgu disgyblion am fwlio seiber drwy'r fframwaith cymhwysedd digidol. Mae croeso i'r cyflwyniad o offeryn mapio cwricwlwm a'r offer anghenion proffesiynol sydd wedi eu diweddaru, ac o'r hyn yr ydych chi'n ei ddweud wrthym am fanteisio ar yr adnoddau ar-lein newydd, mae'n ymddangos bod yr athrawon a'r disgyblion yn eu gweld yn ddefnyddiol. Rwy'n croesawu eich ymdrechion hefyd i gynorthwyo a chefnogi athrawon i ddatblygu eu sgiliau addysgu er mwyn cadw'n gyfredol mewn amgylchedd sy'n newid yn gyflym. Rydych chi'n datgan y bydd dull dysgu proffesiynol newydd ar gael o dymor yr hydref. Mae'r cysyniad hwn yn swnio'n ddiddorol, ond nid ydych wedi darparu unrhyw wybodaeth yn eich datganiad am beth y gallai hyn ei olygu, a sut y mae'r dull newydd yn debygol o edrych. Felly, a wnewch chi ddarparu rhywfaint o wybodaeth ychwanegol am hyn? Mae nifer y defnyddwyr sy'n manteisio ar Hwb yn dangos bod yr adnoddau yn boblogaidd o leiaf, ac rwy'n croesawu'r ffaith bod datblygiad parhaus Hwb yn cael ei seilio ar sylwadau gan athrawon a chonsortia addysgol rhanbarthol. Rwy'n falch o ymdrechion Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet i gynnwys rhanddeiliaid o'r fath yn y gwaith o ddatblygu adnoddau ar-lein, ond mae hyn hefyd yn gwneud i mi feddwl pam nad yw rhieni yn cael yr un fraint, o gael eu barn wedi'i cheisio a'i hystyried mewn adroddiadau ar ansawdd ysgolion, yn yr un modd ag y mae safbwyntiau athrawon a chonsortia rhanbarthol yn cael eu ceisio a'u hystyried ynglŷn ag ansawdd adnoddau ar-lein. Bydd mwy o ddibyniaeth ar offer ar-lein a TG yn yr ystafell ddosbarth, wrth gwrs, yn arwain at fwy o bwysau ar fand eang yr ysgol, ac rwy'n cytuno â chi ei bod yn annerbyniol i ysgol fod dan anfantais o ganlyniad i gyflymder rhyngrwyd gwael. Felly, rwy'n croesawu'r cyllid ychwanegol y mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi'i neilltuo ar gyfer gwella band eang mewn ysgolion. Fodd bynnag, a wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet osod beth yw'r meini prawf cymhwysedd i gael buddsoddiad o'r gronfa honno ar gyfer band eang yr ysgol, ac ar ba sail na fyddai ysgol yn cael y cyllid hwnnw? Pa ddarpariaethau sydd ar waith ar gyfer ysgol y gwrthodwyd cyllid iddi ar gyfer gwelliannau i'w band eang, allu apelio yn erbyn y penderfyniad i wrthod cyllid? Nodaf sylwadau Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet am y datblygiad sgiliau codio mewn ysgolion. Mewn egwyddor, mae addysgu'r sgiliau sylfaenol i ddisgyblion a fydd yn eu galluogi i gael swyddi technolegol i'w groesawu. Mae addysgu'r sgiliau hynny yn hanfodol wrth ymdrechu i arfogi'r bobl ifanc sy'n gadael yr ysgol yn well ar gyfer y byd gwaith ac i ysgogi diddordeb mewn astudio codio a data diogelwch, ac ati, os ydym yn mynd i gynhyrchu ein harbenigwyr TG ein hunain, yn hytrach na rhoi hyfforddiant ac addysg o'r fath ar gontract allanol, i bob pwrpas, i wledydd eraill. Felly, rwy'n edrych ymlaen at glywed eich datganiad ar ddatblygu sgiliau codio yr wythnos nesaf. Diolch.
