Felly, yn unol ag argymhelliad y Bartneriaeth, rwyf wedi penderfynu dod â’r Rhaglen Wirio Allanol i ben a rhoi rhaglen yn ei lle a fydd yn cadw at y nod gwreiddiol o wella asesiadau athrawon a chanolbwyntio ar anghenion athrawon ac ysgolion. Bydd y rhaglen yn gynaliadwy, ac yn rhan o waith ehangach i gyflwyno agenda ddiwygio Dyfodol Llwyddiannus drwy’r Rhwydwaith Ysgolion Arloesi, a chaiff ei chynnwys yng Nghynlluniau Busnes y consortia rhanbarthol
Therefore, in line with the Partnership’s recommendations, I have decided to end the Programme of External Verification and put in place a programme that will maintain the original aim of improving teacher assessment and focus on the needs of teachers and schools. The programme will be sustainable, becoming part of the wider work to deliver the Successful Futures reform agenda through the Pioneer Schools Network and embedded in the regional consortia’s Business Plans.
