Roedd y penderfyniad i beidio ag ymestyn y cyllid i wyliau haf 2023 yn benderfyniad na chymerwyd yn ysgafn gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Fodd bynnag, fel y dangosodd yr asesiad effaith cynhwysfawr dilynol, ac o ystyried bod ein cyllideb werth £1.2bn yn llai mewn termau real na phan gafodd ei gosod gan Lywodraeth y DU yn 2021, byddai wedi bod yn anfforddiadwy heb orfod gwneud toriadau sylweddol mewn cyllidebau addysg allweddol eraill.
The decision not to extend funding into the 2023 summer holidays was not taken lightly by the Welsh Government. However, as the subsequent comprehensive impact assessment demonstrated, and given that our budget is worth £1.2bn less in real terms than when it was set by UK Government in 2021, it would have been unaffordable without having to make significant cuts in other key education budgets.
