Yng nghyd-destun y newidiadau cyflym sy’n digwydd yn y byd addysg uwch, rhaid sicrhau bod Cymru’n dal i elwa ar gyrsiau perfformio dwys o’r ansawdd uchaf sy’n canolbwyntio ar berfformiadau ymarferol a galwedigaethol.  Mae hynny’n hanfodol i foddhau’r angen am sgiliau o fewn y diwydiannau creadigol a bywyd creadigol yng Nghymru. Rwyf felly wedi gofyn i’m swyddogion lunio cynigion ar gyfer adolygiad annibynnol o gonservatoires ac addysg uwch yn y celfyddydau perfformio cysylltiedig yng Nghymru.  Byddaf yn cyhoeddi manylion yr adolygiad, gan gynnwys ei gylch gwaith, cyn pen ychydig wythnosau.
In the context of a rapidly changing higher education world, we need to ensure that Wales continues to benefit from high quality intensive performing arts courses which focus on practical and vocational performance.  Such provision is crucial to the skills needs of the creative industries and to the cultural life of Wales.  I have therefore asked my officials to draw up proposals for an independent review of conservatoire and related performing arts provision in higher education in Wales.  I shall publish details of the review, including its terms of reference, within the next week.
