Fel y gŵyr yr Aelodau, yn dilyn arolygiad Estyn o wasanaethau addysg awdurdod lleol Merthyr Tudful ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc ym mis Tachwedd 2012, penderfynodd y tîm arolygu fod gwasanaethau addysg yr awdurdod a'u gallu i wella yn anfoddhaol. O ganlyniad, cafodd yr awdurdod eu rhoi o dan fesurau arbennig.
Members will be aware that, following Estyn’s inspection of Merthyr Tydfil local authority education services for children and young people in November 2012, the inspection team judged that the authority’s education services and capacity to improve were both unsatisfactory. As a result, the authority was placed in special measures.
