Un o’r pethau cyntaf a wnes i wrth ddod yn weinidog addysg oedd dweud wrth swyddogion am gynnal adolygiad cynhwysfawr o’n dulliau i fynd i’r afael â’r bwlch cyrhaeddiad rhwng ein disgyblion mwyaf difreintiedig a’u cyfoedion. Bydd fy adran i’n edrych ar bob polisi, menter a chynllun diwygio drwy ystyried a yw’n effeithio ar ddeilliannau ein dysgwyr mwyaf difreintiedig. Os mai bychan fydd yr effaith, yna rwy’n disgwyl yr edrychir arno eto.
One of the first things I did when I became education minister was to instruct officials to undertake a comprehensive review of our approach to tackling the attainment between our most disadvantaged pupils and their peers. Every single policy, initiative, and reform that is considered by my department will be looked at through the lens of whether it effects outcomes of our most disadvantaged learners. If the impact is minimal, then I expect it to be looked at again.
