1. Datblygu System AHO Ddiwygiedig
Building a Reformed PCET System

2. Croeso
Welcome
Heddiw, rydyn ni’n cychwyn ar gyfnod newydd o addysg a hyfforddiant ôl-orfodol yng Nghymru. Bydd pawb ar eu hennill – yn ddysgwyr, gweithwyr addysg proffesiynol ac, yn allweddol, cyflogwyr a busnesau Cymru
Mae gennym weledigaeth uchelgeisiol ar gyfer AHO yng Nghymru ac yn llawn cyffro am y dyfodol. Ond allwn ni ddim cyrraedd yno heb eich cymorth chi.
Today we approach a new era for post compulsory education and training in Wales. It’s one that will benefit everybody – learners, education professionals and, vitally, employers and Welsh businesses.
We have an ambitious vision for PCET in Wales and are excited about the future. But we can’t get there without your help.

4. Cyfwyniad i AHO
An Introduction
to PCET

5. AHO yng Nghymru PCET in Wales
Mae addysg a hyfforddiant ôl-orfodol (AHO) yn cynnwys pob math o ddysgu yn dilyn addysg ffurfiol yn yr ysgol – ar ôl 16 oed
Mae’n cwmpasu Addysg Bellach, Addysg Uwch boed yn y chweched dosbarth, coleg, prifysgol neu unrhyw sefydliad arall
Mae hefyd yn cynnwys rhaglenni hyfforddiant ffurfiol a dysgu seiliedig ar waith, gan gynnwys prentisiaethau
Post compulsory education and training (PCET) covers all forms of learning once formal schooling is complete – past the age of 16
It encompasses Further Education (FE), Higher Education (HE) whether at sixth form, college, university or any other institution
It also includes formal training programmes and work-based learning, including apprenticeships

6. AHO yng Nghymru PCET in Wales
Hyd yma, does dim un corff sengl yn gyfrifol am AHO yng Nghymru. Yn hytrach, cafodd darpariaethau AHO eu datblygu dros amser gan arwain at wahaniaethau ac anghysonderau rhwng rhanbarthau a sefydliadau
Er bod gennym sawl enghraifft o arferion gorau, gall olygu byd o wahaniaeth rhwng profiad dysgwyr a phrofiad cyflogwyr. Ychydig iawn o gysondeb neu strategaeth gyffredinol sydd drwyddi draw.
Until now, there has not been one-single body responsible for PCET in Wales. Instead, PCET provisions have developed over time leading to differences and discrepancies between different regions and institutions
While we have many examples of best practice, it has meant that one learner’s or employer’s experience may differ substantially from another. There is little consistency or overall strategy across the board

7. Yr Angen
am Newid
The Need
for Change

8. Y sail dros newid Basis for change
Yn sgil adolygiad o’r system a gyhoeddwyd yn Adroddiad Hazelkorn yn 2016, nodwyd gwendidau a phroblemau o fewn y maes AHO yng Nghymru – fel ailadrodd, cymhlethdod diangen a diffyg cydlyniant ledled y sector AHO.
Gwnaeth ddau brif argymhelliad:
Dylai’r Llywodraeth ddatblygu gweledigaeth gyffredinol ar gyfer AHO
Dylid creu corff hyd braich newydd fel y prif gorff rheoleiddio sy’n gyfrifol am oruchwylio’r holl system AHO
A system review published in the Hazelkorn Report in 2016 found weaknesses and issues within PCET in Wales such as duplication, unnecessary complexity and a lack of joining up across the PCET sector
It made two primary recommendations:
The Government should develop an overarching vision for PCET
A new arms-length body should be created as the sole regulatory body that has the oversight authority for the whole PCET system

9. Lle rydyn ni arni heddiw? Where do we stand today?
Mewn ymateb i Adroddiad Hazelkorn, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru Bapur Gwyn yn cyflwyno cynigion i greu Comisiwn Addysg Drydyddol ac Ymchwil newydd i Gymru.
Wedi ymgynghoriad eang yn ystod hydref 2017, cawsom gryn gefnogaeth i ddiwygio a chytundeb ein bod ni’n gweithio tuag at yr ateb cywir.
In response to the Hazelkorn Report, the Welsh Government published a White Paper setting out proposals to create a new Tertiary Education and Research Commission for Wales
After wide consultation in Autumn 2017, we’ve received strong support for reform and agreement that we’re working towards the right solution

10. Ein Gweledigaeth
Our Vision

11. Ein gweledigaeth Our vision
Hoffai Llywodraeth Cymru greu system AHO sy’n gweithio i bawb; un sy’n:
cyd-fynd ag anghenion busnesau
llenwi bylchau sgiliau
paratoi doniau’r dyfodol ar gyfer y wybodaeth a’r arferion sydd eu hangen i serennu yn eu gyrfaoedd ac sy’n addas ar gyfer y gweithle
ysgogi ffyniant yng Nghymru
Welsh Government wants to create a PCET system which works for everyone; one which:
is aligned to the needs of businesses
plugs skills gaps
prepares future talent in the knowledge and practices necessary to excel in their career and are right for the workplace
drives prosperity in Wales

12. Amlinelliad o’r
Diwygiadau Arfaethedig
Outline of
Proposed Reforms

13. Corff newydd
A new body
Creu Comisiwn Addysg Drydyddol ac Ymchwil i Gymru a fydd yn brif gyllidwr a rheoleiddiwr AHO yng Nghymru
Bydd y Comisiwn yn disodli Cyngor Cyllido Addysg Uwch Cymru
Bydd yn gorff a noddir gan Lywodraeth Cymru, yn gweithredu hyd braich ar y llywodraeth ond yn rhan o fframwaith cynllunio a chyllido strategol
The creation of a new Tertiary Education and Research Commission for Wales which will be the sole funder and regulator for PCET in Wales
The Commission will replace the current Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW)
It will be a Welsh Government sponsored body, operating at arms-length from government but within a strategic planning and funding framework

14. Corff newydd
A new body
Cyllido a sicrhau ansawdd AHO a meithrin cysylltiadau agosach â chyflogwyr – dyna fydd ei gylch gwaith
Bydd y Comisiwn yn gyfrifol am addysg bellach ac uwch, prentisiaethau, dysgu seiliedig ar waith, addysg oedolion a’r chweched dosbarth
Hefyd, bydd yn gyfrifol am ymchwil ac arloesi wedi’u hariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru
It will have remit for the funding and quality of PCET and for fostering closer ties with employers
The Commission will be responsible for further and higher education, apprenticeships ,work-based learning, adult learning and sixth forms
It will also be responsible for Welsh Government-funded research and innovation

15. Corff newydd
A new body
Bydd y Comisiwn yn cynnwys hyd at 15 aelod o blith byd diwydiant a chyflogwyr, addysg ôl-16, dysgu seiliedig ar waith, addysg oedolion, y trydydd sector a’r gymuned ymchwil ac arloesi. Bydd o leiaf ddau aelod yn cynrychioli dysgwyr
Ar ôl ei sefydlu ac yn dilyn ymgynghoriad, bydd yn ofynnol i’r Comisiwn baratoi cynllun strategol i fynd i’r afael ag anghenion dysgwyr a busnesau i’w gymeradwyo gan Weinidogion Cymru
The Commission will be comprised of up to 15 members drawn from industry and employers, post-16 education, work-based learning, adult learning, the third sector and the research and innovation community. At least two will be learner representatives
After its establishment and following consultation, the Commission will be required to produce a strategic plan to address the needs of learners and business for the approval of Welsh Ministers

16. Corff newydd
A new body
Byddai’n gyfrifol am ddyrannu’r holl gyllid wedyn, a gwaith monitro a gwella dilynol
It would then be responsible for allocating the totality of funding and for subsequent monitoring and enhancement

17. Prentisiaethau Apprenticeships
Hoffem fuddsoddi mewn hyfforddiant a fydd yn darparu buddiannau economaidd a chymdeithasol; buddsoddi mewn sectorau twf a galwedigaethau i fynd i’r afael â phrinder a bylchau sgiliau sy’n atal twf a chynhyrchiant
Prentisiaethau yw ein prif raglen dan arweiniad cyflogwyr lle mae’r cwricwlwm yn seiliedig ar anghenion cyflogwyr
Bydd prentisiaethau’n newid fel eu bod nhw’n fwy ymatebol i anghenion economi a chyflogwyr Cymru
We want to invest in training which will provide economic and social returns; investing in growth sectors and occupations to address skill shortages and gaps that hold back productivity and growth
Apprenticeships are our key employer-led programme where curriculum is built around employer needs
Apprenticeships in Wales will change to make them more responsive to the needs of the Welsh economy and employers

18. Prentisiaethau - newidiadau Apprenticeships - changes
Bydd Manyleb Safonau Prentisiaethau Cymru (SASW) yn cael eu disodli gan Fanyleb Prentisiaethau Cymru newydd yn cynnwys:
Lefelau a mathau o gymhwyster
Gofynion hyfforddiant mewn swydd a thu allan i’r swydd
Llwybrau Blaenoriaeth
Gofynion i’w bodloni cyn cyflwyno tystysgrif
Y sectorau economaidd y dylid cyflwyno Llwybrau Prentisiaethau iddynt
The Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for Wales (SASW) will be replaced by a new Welsh Apprenticeship Specification including:
Levels and types of qualification
Requirement for on and off-the-job training
Priority Pathways
Requirements to be met before a certificate is issued
Economic sectors to which Pathways should be issued

19. Prentisiaethau - newidiadau Apprenticeships - changes
Llwybrau yn lle Fframweithiau Prentisiaethau:
Ar lefel gyfatebol i’r cymhwyster ac sy’n cydymffurfio â’r gofynion craidd
Gellir cynnwys cymwysterau neu safonau diwydiant eraill lle bo’n berthnasol
Gall cyflogwyr gyflwyno cynigion ar gyfer y Llwybrau o hyd
Dylai bod cyswllt rhwng pob un â darpariaethau ôl-16 eraill fel y gall dysgwyr drosglwyddo cymwysterau i raglen brentisiaeth
Apprenticeship Frameworks replaced by Pathways:
At a level corresponding to the qualification and complying with core requirements
Other qualifications or industry standards can be included where relevant
Employers can still submit proposals for Pathways
Each should link to other post-16 provisions to allow learners to port qualifications into an apprenticeship programme

20. Prentisiaethau - newidiadau Apprenticeships - changes
Bydd y Comisiwn yn cyflwyno tystysgrifau prentisiaethau pan fydd darparwr dysgu, cyflogwr neu brentis yn dweud bod y Llwybr dan sylw wedi’i gwblhau. Bydd angen cyflwyno rhai newidiadau i’r cynnwys
Bydd Prentisiaethau hyd at Lefel 5 yn cael eu gweinyddu a’u hariannu gan y Comisiwn, a gofynion atebolrwydd yn cael eu cwmpasu gan rwymedigaethau cytundebol
The Commission will issue apprenticeship certificates when it is notified by a learning provider, employer or apprentice that the Pathway has been completed. Some change to the contents will be necessary
Apprenticeships up to Level 5 will be administered and funded via the Commission with accountability requirements covered by contractual obligations

21. Prentisiaethau - newidiadau Apprenticeships - changes
Bydd prentisiaethau gradd ar Lefel 6+ yn cael eu hariannu trwy gyfrwng grant i’r Comisiwn ac yn destun proses Cytundeb Rheoleiddio a Deilliannau. Bydd effaith a chyflawniad deilliannau yn cael eu mesur
Hoffem i chi ddweud wrthym pa elfennau o’r system bresennol sy’n gweithio’n dda, lle gellir gwella’r ddarpariaeth a nodi unrhyw faterion/broblemau eraill
Degree apprenticeships at Level 6+ will be funded via a grant to the Commission and subect to the Regulation and Outcome Agreement (ROA) process. The impact and achievement of outcomes will be measured
We need you to tell us which elements of the current system works well, where delivery can be improved and the identification of any other issues

22. Modelau dysgu newydd New learning models
Bydd modelau Cytundeb Rheoleiddio a Deilliannau newydd yn rheoleiddio’r dysgu a’r darparwyr hyfforddiant:
Gall gofynion rheoleiddio ymwneud â hyfywedd ariannol, ansawdd, darpariaeth, llywodraethiant, terfyn ffioedd, mynediad teg a chytundebau diogelu dysgwyr
Byddai’r darparwr yn ymrwymo i gyflwyno set o ddeilliannau, mewn trafodaeth â’r Comisiwn
O’ch profiad chi, hoffem gael adborth ar ddulliau amgen, mesurau ymyrryd os bydd pethau’n methu a chymhellion i hyrwyddo ymddygiadau cadarnhaol
Learning and training providers will be regulated by new Regulation and Outcome Agreement (ROA) Models:
Regulation requirements may relate to financial viability, quality, delivery, governance, fee limits, fair access and learner protection agreements
The provider would commit to delivering set outcomes, negotiated with the Commission
From your experience, we’re looking for feedback on alternatives, intervention measures in the event of failure and incentives to promote positive behaviours

23. Diogelu dysgwyr Protecting learners
Hoffem helpu dysgwyr i ddal ati i ddysgu pe bai’r cwrs yn dod i ben neu’r campws yn cau, neu os ydyn nhw’n cael eu diswyddo fel prentis – er eu lles nhw a’u darpar gyflogwr:
Rydym wrthi’n datblygu cyfres o egwyddorion gan gynnwys system gyfathrebu well, monitro ansawdd y ddarpariaeth, cosbau am ddiffyg cydymffurfio a phrotocolau rhannu data effeithiol
We want to help learners continue their learning should their course or campus close or, as an apprentice, they are made redundant – benefiting them and their future employer:
A set of principles are being developed to this end, including improved communication, monitoring quality of provision, sanctions for non compliance and effective data sharing protocols

24. Diogelu dysgwyr Protecting learners
Datblygu Cynlluniau Diogelu a Chynnydd Dysgwyr sy’n manylu ar y prosesau i’w dilyn, cynllun gweithredu sy’n chwilio am gyflogwyr amgen ar gyfer dysgu seiliedig ar waith, dewisiadau amgen a dewisiadau sy’n cydnabod dysgu blaenorol
Hoffem weld trefniadau sy’n diogelu dysgwyr ac sy’n ymarferol i ddarparwyr a chyflogwyr – gall eich cyfraniad chi ein helpu i gyflawni hyn
Learner Protection and Progression (LPP) Plans developed detailing processes to follow, action plan seeking alternative employers for work-based learning, options for alternatives and options to recognise prior learning
We want arrangements to safeguard learners and be practical for providers and employers – your input can help us achieve this

25. Ymchwil ac arloesi Research and innovation
Bydd pwyllgor newydd, Ymchwil ac Arloesi Cymru, yn cyfuno AHO gyda’r maes ymchwil ac arloesi
Cyrchfan ymchwil ac arloesi seiliedig ar strategaeth, er mwyn ymateb i’r heriau economaidd, diwydiannol, llesiant cymdeithasol ac amgylcheddol sy’n wynebu Cymru
Modelau cyllido sy’n gysylltiedig â rhagoriaeth a pherthnasedd gwaith ymchwil, blaenoriaethau cenedlaethol Cymru a chyfleoedd diwydiannol a masnachol
A new committee, Research and Innovation Wales (RIW), will integrate PCET with research and innovation
The go-to place to strategy-related research and innovation, to meet Wales’ economic, industrial, social well-being and environmental challenges
Funding models linked to the excellence and relevance of the research, Wales’ national priorities and industrial and commercial opportunities

26. Ymchwil ac arloesi Research and innovation
Gall derbynwyr cyllid posib gynnwys busnesau bach a chanolig, cwmnïau diwydiannol mawr, sefydliadau ymchwil a thechnoleg, sefydliadau Addysg Bellach ac Addysg Uwch, awdurdodau lleol, y GIG a chyrff cyhoeddus
Monitro’r ddarpariaeth er mwyn mesur effeithiau a deilliannau
Hoffem eich cyfraniad chi i greu’r system gywir a helpu Cymru i lywio’r agenda ymchwil ac arloesi
Potential funding recipients include SMEs, large industrial companies, research and technology organisations, HE and FE institutions, local authorities, NHS and public bodies
Delivery performance to be monitored to measure impacts and outcomes
We need your insight to create the right system and help Wales lead the R&I agenda

27. Y Gymraeg Welsh language
Gweledigaeth Llywodraeth Cymru yw miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050
