Ym mis Gorffennaf 2010, lansiais yr Adolygiad o Adnoddau Rheng Flaen, rhaglen un flwyddyn i ddatblygu a gweithredu cynllun er mwyn symud adnoddau addysg cefn swyddfa i wasanaethau rheng flaen. Yr Adolygiad hwn oedd fy ymateb i'r adroddiad a gomisiynais gan PwC ar gost gweinyddu'r system addysg yng Nghymru. Casgliad yr adroddiad oedd bod 32% o arian cyhoeddus addysg wedi'i wario ar wasanaethau strategol a chymorth yn 2008-2009.  Awgrymwyd yn adroddiad PwC y gellid symud cyfran fawr o'r adnodd hwnnw i wasanaethau rheng flaen, a nodwyd deg damcaniaeth o ran sut y gellid gwneud hyn. Nod yr Adolygiad o Adnoddau Rheng Flaen oedd troi'r damcaniaethau hynny yn gamau gweithredu, drwy nodi lle y byddai’n gwneud gwahaniaeth ar unwaith a datblygu camau gweithredu tymor hir a chanolig i'w cyflwyno’n gyffredinol ar draws pob sector addysg.
In July 2010 I launched the Front Line Resources Review, a one-year programme to develop and deliver a plan to shift education resources from back office support functions to front line services. This Review was my response to the report I commissioned from PwC on the cost of administering the education system in Wales, which found that 32% of public expenditure on education in 2008-2009 was spent on strategic and support services.  The PwC report suggested that there was an opportunity to shift a significant proportion of that resource to front line services and set out ten hypotheses as to how this could be done. The aim of the Front Line Resources Review was to turn those hypotheses into actions, both by identifying quick wins and by developing medium and longer-term action to be mainstreamed across all sectors of education.
