Eleni yw'r flwyddyn gyntaf i bŵer dros gyflogau ac amodau athrawon gael ei ddatganoli i Gymru. Cynhaliwyd adolygiad o gyflogau athrawon gan Gorff Adolygu Cyflogau Annibynnol Cymru, a argymhellodd y dylid cynyddu holl ystodau cyflog a lwfansau statudol 2.4%. Yn ei hymateb, cynigiodd y Gweinidog godiad cyflog uwch ar gyfer y rhan fwyaf o athrawon, o 2.75%.
This year is the first year power over teachers’ pay and conditions have been devolved to Wales. A review of teacher pay was undertaken by the new Independent Welsh Pay Review Body, which recommended all statutory pay ranges and allowances be increased by 2.4%. In her response, the minister proposed a higher pay rise for most teachers of 2.75%.
