Hoffwn hefyd gadarnhau heddiw y codiad cyflog i wobrwyo ein hathrawon medrus a gweithgar yma yng Nghymru. Rydym wedi parhau i ymwahanu oddi wrth y cynigion yn Lloegr drwy ddyfarnu cyflog cychwynnol uwch i athrawon a chyflwyno rhai newidiadau allweddol, megis dilyniant cyflog ar sail profiad a graddfeydd cyflog statudol cenedlaethol. Bydd hyn yn helpu i hyrwyddo addysgu fel proffesiwn o ddewis i raddedigion a’r rhai sy’n newid gyrfa.
I would also like to confirm today the uplift of pay to reward our highly skilled and hardworking teachers in Wales. We have continued to diverge from the proposals in England by awarding teachers in Wales higher starting pay and introducing some key changes, such as experience-based pay progression and national statutory pay scales. This will help promote teaching as a profession of choice for graduates and career changers.
