Bydd gan ein cwricwlwm newydd rôl bwysig i'w chwarae wrth roi sylw i’r bwlch mewn cyrhaeddiad a dyhead, ac o ran creu diwylliant o ddyhead a hunanhyder. Roeddwn i’n dymuno bod yn gyfreithiwr pan oeddwn i’n blentyn, ac yn sicr, doedd dim cyfreithwyr yn y teulu. Doeddwn i erioed wedi cwrdd ag un. Felly, efallai y byddai rhai yn credu bod hynny’n uchelgais ryfedd. Ond bydd y dysgwyr yn ein cwricwlwm newydd yn cael profiadau eang i amlygu’r dewisiadau a’r cyfleoedd bywyd hyn mewn ffordd na chefais i erioed, p’un ai ydyn nhw’n gyfarwydd â nhw yn eu bywydau a’u hamgylchiadau eu hunain neu beidio. Bydd ganddyn nhw’r dysgu hwnnw wedi’i deilwra, sy’n adlewyrchu eu hanghenion eu hunain, i’w galluogi i bennu eu llwybr eu hunain, o ble bynnag y byddan nhw’n gadael.
And our new curriculum will have a strong role to play in in addressing that gap in attainment and aspiration, in creating a culture of aspiration and self-confidence. I wanted to be a lawyer as a child, there were certainly no lawyers in the family. I had never met one. So that might be regarded a strange choice of ambition. But learners in our new curriculum will have a breadth of experience to bring alive these life choices and opportunities in a way I never had, whether or not they are familiar with them in their own lives and circumstances. They will have that tailored learnng, reflecting their own needs that will enable them to chart their own course, whatever their point of departure.
