Pwrpas y Bil yw darparu ar gyfer diwygio’r system ar gyfer rheoleiddio sefydliadau addysg uwch a darparwyr eraill addysg uwch yng Nghymru sy’n gweithredu cynllun ffioedd a mynediad a gymeradwywyd gan Gyngor Cyllido Addysg Uwch Cymru (CCAUC). Bydd y cyrsiau addysg uwch a gynigir gan y sefydliadau a’r darparwyr hyn yn cael eu dynodi’n awtomatig at ddibenion y cymorth statudol i fyfyrwyr a roddir gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru o’r farn y bydd gwella’r rheolaethau rheoleiddio yn helpu i ddiogelu buddiannau myfyrwyr, trethdalwyr a chymdeithas yn effeithiol.
The purpose of the Bill is to provide for a revised regulatory system for higher education institutions and other providers of higher education in Wales that have a fee and access plan in force, as approved by the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW). It is intended that courses of higher education offered by such institutions and providers will be automatically designated for the purposes of Welsh Government statutory student support. The Welsh Government considers that the improved regulatory controls will better protect the interests of students, taxpayers and Welsh society.
