"Rwyf am sicrhau ein bod yn gwneud y pethau sylfaenol yn iawn, sef galluogi athrawon i gael addysgu, ac arweinwyr i gael arwain. Rwyf am weithio’n agos gyda’r proffesiwn i helpu athrawon ac ymarferwyr i fod cystal ag y gallant fod, gan godi safon yr addysgu ar yr un pryd ac, yn bwysig iawn, codi statws y proffesiwn yn gyffredinol. Heb athrawon ac ymarferwyr brwd, sy’n cael eu gwerthfawrogi ac sydd â’r sgiliau angenrheidiol, allwn ni ddim cyflawni unrhyw beth.
“I was fully supportive of Professor Graham Donaldson’s vision for a new curriculum when it was published last year. However, the profession has told me that they often feel over-burdened by new policies and initiatives. Therefore, my focus will be to make sure that the education reform programme is implemented well. This includes making sure the workforce are at the heart of these developments and have the support they need to be able to realise the full potential of the new curriculum within their own schools.
