Ac mae’r tarfu a achoswyd gan y pandemig wedi gwneud pethau’n waeth. Mae ymchwil a gynhaliwyd gan ein prifysgolion gyda’u hysgolion partner a’u dadansoddiadau ar draws y sector yn dweud wrthym fod lles a chyrhaeddiad dysgwyr sy’n byw mewn tlodi wedi disgyn hyd yn oed ymhellach y tu ôl i ddysgwyr eraill yn ystod y pandemig. Ac mae’n rhaid inni fynd i’r afael â hyn fel rhan o’r broses adfer.
And the disruption of the pandemic has made things worse. Research carried out by our universities with their partner schools and analysis across the sector, tell us that the wellbeing and attainment of learners living in poverty has fallen even further behind other learners during the pandemic. And we have to address this as part of the recovery process.
