Hoffwn roi cadarnhad i Aelodau bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi sicrhau nad oes dim amwysedd ynghylch cymhwystra myfyrwyr ar gyrsiau dysgu o bell yn rheoliadau cymorth myfyrwyr 2018/19. Nid yw myfyrwyr newydd sy'n ymgymryd â chwrs dysgu o bell dynodedig yn 2018/19 yn gymwys ar gyfer Grantiau ar gyfer Dibynyddion. Fodd bynnag, o dan y pecyn cymorth i fyfyrwyr newydd, sy'n fwy hael, bydd gan fyfyrwyr rhan-amser fynediad at grantiau a benthyciadau cynhaliaeth. Mae'r sefyllfa hon yn sicrhau cydraddoldeb o ran cymorth i fyfyrwyr amser llawn a rhan-amser.
I would like to confirm to Members that the Welsh Government has ensured that the 2018/19 student support regulations leave no room for ambiguity regarding the eligibility of students on distance learning courses. New students undertaking a designated distance learning course in 2018/19 are not eligible for GFDs. However, under the new, more generous package of student support, part-time students will have access to maintenance grants and loans. This position provides parity of support for full and part-time students.
