Rwy’n croesawu argymhellion yr Arglwydd Murphy. Rwyf eisoes wedi dweud wrth CCAUC y dylai adfer cyllid premiwm ar gyfer pynciau drud (sy’n cynnwys cyllid ar gyfer darpariaeth conservatoire a darpariaeth gysylltiedig) fod yn flaenoriaeth ar gyfer unrhyw fuddsoddiad ychwanegol mewn addysg uwch o 2019-20 ymlaen a fydd yn bosibl drwy weithredu diwygiadau Diamond i gyllid AU a chyllid myfyrwyr. Wrth wneud penderfyniadau am ddyraniadau cyllid y dyfodol, byddwn yn disgwyl i CCAUC ystyried argymhellion yr Arglwydd Murphy am lefel sylfaenol y cyllid refeniw sydd ei angen i osod y Coleg ar sail gyllido gymaradwy â sefydliadau eraill sy’n cystadlu ag ef. Rwyf hefyd wedi gofyn i CCAUC weithio gyda’r Coleg i ystyried cyfleoedd i ehangu ei gwricwlwm cyfredol i gynnwys hyfforddiant dawns cyfoes yn y dyfodol.
I welcome Lord Murphy’s recommendations.  I have already indicated to HEFCW that reinstatement of the expensive subjects premium funding (which includes funding for conservatoire and related provision) should be a priority for any additional investment in higher education from 2019-20 onwards made possible by implementation of the Diamond reforms to HE funding and student finance.  In making decisions about future funding allocations, I would expect HEFCW to have regard to Lord Murphy’s recommendations about the base level of revenue funding needed to place the College on a comparable funding base to other competitor institutions.  I have also asked HEFCW to work with the College to explore opportunities for widening its current curriculum offer to include contemporary dance training in future.
