Mae Prif Weithredwr y QAA wedi ysgrifennu i ymateb i nifer o ymholiadau gennyf ynghylch trefn arolygu QAA – yn enwedig sut y mae’n gwerthuso darpariaeth Prifysgol Cymru.  Da gennyf weld felly bod y QAA wedi cynhyrchu canllawiau newydd i Brifysgolion Prydain ar gyfer cynnal partneriaethau tramor.  Dywedodd Mr McClaren wrthyf hefyd bod y QAA wrthi’n ailystyried cwmpas a methodoleg gwaith arolygu’r QAA, hynny o ganlyniad i broblemau diweddar gyda phartneriaethau tramor Prifysgol Cymru.  Byddaf yn cael gwybod am unrhyw ddatblygiadau.
The Chief Executive of QAA has written responding to a number of queries I raised concerning QAA’s inspection regime – particularly in relation to the evaluation of the University of Wales’ provision. I note with satisfaction that the QAA have introduced new guidelines into the operation of overseas partnerships by British Universities. Mr McClaren also advises that QAA are considering the scope and methodology of QAA’s review work as a consequence of the recent issues surrounding the University of Wales’ overseas partnerships. I will be kept informed of the developments.
