Daeth yr Athro Furlong i’r casgliad yn ei adroddiad fod addysg athrawon yng Nghymru wedi cyrraedd man tyngedfennol. Er mwyn galluogi’r proffesiwn addysgu i gyfrannu’n briodol at y gwaith o godi safonau addysg o fewn ein hysgolion, yn unol â’r hyn a nodir yn adroddiad yr Athro Donaldson ar yr adolygiad o’r cwricwlwm yng Nghymru - Dyfodol Llwyddiannus, mae angen sicrhau bod Hyfforddiant ac Addysg Gychwynnol Athrawon yn ehangu yn hytrach na’n crebachu. Hollbwysig yn ogystal yw sicrhau bod gan athrawon y sgiliau, yr wybodaeth a’r anian i arwain y math o newid y bydd ei angen.
In his report Professor Furlong has concluded that teacher education in Wales is at a critical turning point and if the teaching profession itself is to make its proper contribution to the raising of standard of education in our schools in the way that has been proposed in Professor Donaldson’s report on the review of curriculum in Wales – Successful Futures, then what is required is a form of ITET that is expansive rather than restricted, one that offers  teachers themselves the skills, knowledge and dispositions to lead the type of change that will be required.
