Bydd cyrsiau Addysg Gychwynnol Athrawon (AGA) newydd o fis Medi eleni yn golygu mwy o gydweithio rhwng prifysgolion ac ysgolion, gydag athrawon dan hyfforddiant yn treulio mwy o amser mewn ysgolion. Mae'r Brifysgol Agored wedi'i chomisiynu i ddatblygu cwrs TAR (Tystysgrif Addysg i Raddedigion) newydd a llwybrau i addysgu sy'n seiliedig ar gyflogaeth. Bydd y ddau gynllun yn ceisio gwella mynediad i hyfforddiant athrawon ledled Cymru, gan gynnwys mewn lleoliadau mwy anghysbell, yn ogystal â chynorthwyo pobl sydd â chyfrifoldebau gwaith a gofal neu ymrwymiadau eraill.
New Initial Teacher Education (ITE) courses from this September will see greater working between universities and schools, with trainee teachers spending more time in schools. The Open University has been commissioned to develop a new part-time PGCE (Post-Graduate Certificate of Education) and employment-based routes into teaching. Both schemes will aim to improve access to teacher training across Wales, including in more remote locations, as well as supporting people with work, caring or other commitments.
