Julie James: The Cabinet Secretary for Education and I have regular discussions about priority matters, including educational support for ethnic minority and Gypsy/Roma/Traveller learners.
Mark Drakeford: Our vision for further education across Wales is to have a coherent, strong and diverse sector, to ensure our FE sector is resilient, responsive, collaborative, and fit for the future and able to provide sustainable and transferable skills that meet the needs of our learners, employers and the economy.
Kirsty Williams: .... Felly, rydym mewn cysylltiad rheolaidd â hwy, a byddwn yn trafod ymgyrch wybodaeth i’r cyhoedd i gofrestru pleidleiswyr ifanc, yn ogystal ag edrych ar y dystiolaeth o'r Alban, lle cyhoeddodd Education Scotland ddeunyddiau i'w defnyddio mewn ysgolion cyn y refferendwm er mwyn cynorthwyo athrawon i roi arweiniad i'w myfyrwyr. Fel y dywedais, o dan y cwricwlwm presennol, ceir darpariaeth...
Kirsty Williams: ...governors through our own guidance and support from the regional consortia and local authorities. We will look to the review of the national model for regional working and the National Academy for Educational Leadership to identify how to continue to improve that support.
Alun Davies: ...authorities, were set out yesterday. Whilst there is no ring-fencing of any specific part of the settlement, we and local government have prioritised funding for essential public services such as education and social care.
Mark Drakeford: ...gwrs, mae Steffan Lewis yn awgrymu y bydd annibyniaeth yr ateb i'r pethau yma yng Nghymru. Nid wyf yn meddwl ein bod ni'n mynd i gytuno â hynny ar ochr y Llywodraeth. Ar beth ddywedodd ef am free school meals, nid wyf cweit yn deall, a dweud y gwir. Rŷm ni'n mynd i roi mwy o arian i mewn i'r gyllideb. Bydd nifer fawr o blant yn cael bwyd am ddim yn ein hysgolion ni drwy'r arian rŷm ni'n...
Kirsty Williams: ...o'r pryderon a fynegwyd ynghylch y graddfeydd cyflog sy'n gysylltiedig â'r bobl a gyflogir gan asiantaethau. Fe fyddwch yn gwybod, rwy'n gobeithio, ein bod yn gweithio'n agos iawn gydag MPS Education i baratoi ar gyfer unrhyw broses dendro newydd y byddant yn cychwyn arni yn y gwanwyn eleni, er mwyn sicrhau bod y fframwaith y maent yn ei gynnig yn addas i'r diben ac yn ymgorffori'r...
Kirsty Williams: The Higher Education Funding Council for Wales monitors to ensure that information on the professional accreditation of degree courses at Welsh HEIs is consistent with regulatory requirements, is up to date and readily available for students. I will work with HEFCW to consider if these arrangements can be strengthened.
Vaughan Gething: Welsh Government recognises the important role provision of registered after-school clubs play in supporting families. The clubs not only provide valuable opportunities for school age children to play, develop skills, and make new friends, but also support working parents ensuring their children are cared for in a safe appropriate environment.
Adam Price: ...eu gyrfa, sydd mewn gwaith yn barod, i ailhyfforddi ar gyfer y swyddi a fydd yn dod. Nawr, y system a oedd gyda ni ar gyfer hynny yn y gorffennol byddem ni wedi ei alw'n ddysgu oedolion—adult education. Roedd Cymru, ar un adeg, ar flaen y gad o ran dysgu oedolion. Edrych ar ble rydym ni nawr. Mae Coleg Harlech yn dadfeilio, fel symbol, a dweud y gwir, o ddiffyg buddsoddi—nid yn unig...
Mark Drakeford: The Wales infrastructure investment plan sets out investment of over £6.5 billion in infrastructure across Wales over the remainder of the current Assembly term, including the twenty-first century schools and education programme and the Grange University Hospital.
Kirsty Williams: In 2016, the Welsh co-operative and mutuals commission did a review, which recommended a co-operative ethos should be the central organising principle of the education system in Wales. Our national mission of education reform, developed through co-construction, is building an inclusive and equitable education system which supports every learner.
Mark Drakeford: ...broad range of actions to promote good health and well-being for everyone, with a particular focus on children and young people. Examples include expansion of immunisation programmes, work through schools, actions to prevent adverse childhood experiences, and investment in active travel.
Julie James: The national strategy sets out our policies and action for tackling domestic abuse. These include awareness-raising, educating children and young people about healthy relationships, working with perpetrators, funding a helpline for victims, and training professionals to recognise, and act on, signs of abuse and violence.
Rebecca Evans: The Welsh Government is supporting credit unions to deliver school savers projects. These help teach children good savings habits and money management skills from a young age, whilst also enhancing numeracy and financial literacy.
Mark Drakeford: We are committed to offering 30 hours of Government-funded early education and childcare to three and four-year-olds of working parents for up to 48 weeks a year.
Huw Irranca-Davies: ...trodd Llyr ac eraill at hyn—cyd-destun yr hyn rydym yn ei wneud yng Nghymru, o'i gymharu â beth sy'n digwydd dros y ffin—. Na, nid wyf yn gwneud hyn am reswm gwleidyddol, ond sylwaf fod y Pre-school Learning Alliance, Ymddiriedolaeth Sutton a Gweithredu dros Blant wedi edrych ar beth sydd wedi digwydd gyda chau tua 1,000 o ganolfannau Cychwyn Cadarn, sy'n fodel tebyg yno, ac a oedd...
Kirsty Williams: The Welsh Government contributes to sharing best practice through initiatives such as the national networks of excellence and the National Academy for Education Leadership. We work with partners such as local authorities, regional consortia, Estyn and schools to build a self-improving education system as described in ‘Our national mission’.
Mark Drakeford: I am delighted to say that the National Academy for Educational Leadership was launched last week. It will support and impact on the whole education sector in Wales. It will be a small, independent, agile organisation, at arm’s length of Government. A further update will be provided later today.
Mark Drakeford: ...in Islwyn, defraying the revenue costs of capital borrowing by partners in local government and housing and by direct provision of capital funding. The £22 million new build of Islwyn High School is just one recent example of this investment.
