Fel y gŵyr yr Aelodau, mae fy nghydweithiwr y Dirprwy Weinidog Sgiliau a Thechnoleg wedi sôn bod awdurdod Merthyr Tudful wedi'i dynnu o'r categori mesurau arbennig yn dilyn ymweliad monitro gan Estyn.  Mae hyn yn golygu bod pob un o'r pedwar awdurdod - Merthyr Tudful, Blaenau Gwent, Sir Fynwy a Thorfaen - bellach wedi'u tynnu o'r categori hwn.  Rwy'n hynod falch bod Estyn wedi penderfynu bod pob awdurdod wedi gwneud cynnydd digonol ac nad oes angen cynnal unrhyw weithgareddau dilynol ar gyfer yr un ohonynt.
Members will be aware that today my colleague the Deputy Minister for Skills and Technology has highlighted that following the Estyn’s monitoring visit to Merthyr Tydfil the authority has been removed from the category of requiring special measures.  This means that all four authorities - Merthyr Tydfil, Blaenau Gwent, Monmouthshire and Torfaen have now been removed from category.  I am delighted that Estyn has judged that each of the authorities has made sufficient progress and that they have all been removed from further follow-up activity.
