“Fel Llywodraeth Cymru, rydym wedi gwneud ymrwymiad cadarn i sicrhau nad oes cenhedlaeth goll yng Nghymru o ganlyniad i’r pandemig. Felly, bydd y cyllid ychwanegol o £1.6 miliwn rwy’n ei gyhoeddi heddiw yn darparu cymorth wedi’i dargedu i ddysgwyr sy’n astudio o dan y Rhaglenni Prentisiaethau a Hyfforddeiaethau. Bydd yn canolbwyntio ar leihau’r risg o ganlyniadau negyddol, gan gynnwys ymddieithrio a gadael addysg, a allai arwain at broblemau iechyd meddwl acíwt tymor hwy.
“As a Welsh Government, we have made a firm commitment to ensuring there is no lost generation in Wales as a result of the pandemic. So the additional £1.6 million in funding I am announcing today will provide targeted support for learners studying under the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Programmes with a focus reducing the risk of negative outcomes, including disengagement and withdrawal, which could lead to longer-term acute mental health problems.
