Yn ei adroddiad, mae’r Athro Donaldson yn nodi pedwar diben ar gyfer addysg – un ohonynt yw y dylai helpu ein holl blant a phobl ifanc i fod yn unigolion iach a hyderus. Hefyd, mae ei adroddiad yn nodi chwe Maes Dysgu a Phrofiad sy’n ganolog i strwythur y cwricwlwm newydd, ac un o’r meysydd hynny yw Iechyd a Llesiant.
In his report, Professor Donaldson identifies four purposes of education – one of which is that it should support all our children and young people to become healthy, confident individuals.  In addition, his report sets out six Areas of Learning and Experience (AoLE) as central to the structure of the new curriculum, and one of these AoLEs is Health and Well-being.
