Roedd symud i ddysgu ar-lein ar gyfer plant ysgol (ac eithrio plant sy'n agored i niwed a phlant gweithwyr hanfodol) yn benderfyniad anodd a wnaed gan Weinidogion er mwyn lleihau trosglwyddo COVID-19 yn y gymuned gan gynnwys y risgiau sy’n gysylltiedig â theithio i'r ysgol ac yn ôl a chymysgu cymdeithasol y tu allan i amgylchedd yr ystafell ddosbarth. Mae diogelu gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol hanfodol yn parhau i fod yn flaenoriaeth, yn enwedig mewn ymateb i'r bygythiad cynyddol a achosir gan amrywiolion mwy heintus ac mae hyn wedi arwain at gyfyngiadau parhaus ar addysg wyneb yn wyneb a chau sectorau eraill.
Moving to on-line learning for school children (except vulnerable children and children of critical workers) was a difficult decision which Ministers made in order to reduce community transmission of COVID-19 including the associated  risks of travel to and from school and social mixing outside of the classroom environment. Protecting essential health and social care services continues to be a priority, especially in response to the increased threat posed by more infectious variants and has led to on-going restrictions on face to face education and the closure of other sectors.
