Byddwn ni’n parhau i weithio i sicrhau bod y ffordd ry’n ni’n dysgu’n hiaith yn arloesol ac yn cael ei chefnogi gan ddysgu proffesiynol ac adnoddau. Mae’n rhaid i ni ailffocysu ein hymdrechion yn y sector cyfrwng Saesneg. Rwy’n ymfalchïo yn y gwaith caled sy’n digwydd mewn ysgolion - rhywbeth y gall ysgolion Merthyr ymfalchïo ynddo - ac rwy’n gwybod bod brwdfrydedd ymhlith athrawon i fanteisio ar y cyfleoedd sy’ ar gael trwy’r cwricwlwm i Gymru. Ry’n ni eisoes wedi cyhoeddi’r fframwaith ar gyfer y Gymraeg mewn addysg cyfrwng Saesneg a’r gwersi Cymraeg am ddim trwy’r ganolfan dysgu Cymraeg cenedlaethol i ddysgwyr 16 i 25 a hefyd y gweithlu addysg. Dyma dda wych o’r cydweithio sy’n digwydd gyda’n partneriaid. Ry’ ni hefyd wedi ariannu’r ganolfan a chwmni Say Something in Welsh i ddatblygu ap i atgyfnerthu sgiliau Cymraeg dysgwyr a datblygu eu hyder. Mae ysgol Pen-y-dre yma ym Merthyr yn rhan o’r prosiect cyffrous hwn. Mae gan ddatblygiadau fel hyn y gallu i gynyddu’r defnydd o’r Gymraeg ym mhob un o’n hysgolion. Da iawn Pen-y-dre. Beth amdani, weddill Cymru?
We’ll continue to work to ensure that the way we learn our language is innovative and supported by professional learning and resources. We’ve got to refocus our efforts in the English medium sector. I pride myself on the hard work that goes on in schools - something that schools in Merthyr can be proud of - and I know there is enthusiasm among teachers to take advantage of the opportunities available through the curriculum for Wales. We’ve already published the framework for the Welsh language in English medium education and the free Cymraeg lessons through the National Centre for Learning Welsh for 16- to 25-year-olds and the education workforce too. This is a good example of the collaboration that goes on with our partners. We’ve also funded the Centre and Say Something in Welsh company to develop an app to reinforce learners’ Welsh language skills and develop their confidence. Ysgol Pen-y-dre here in Merthyr is part of this exciting project. Developments like this could increase the use of Welsh in all of our schools. Well done, Pen-y-dre. How about it, the rest of Wales?
