Y Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth
So, if this was to proceed, do you think this could be an area that should be amended, then, to make that period longer?

Y Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth
If the Senedd does give leave for this piece of legislation to continue proceeding, and it one day perhaps comes into law, the code must be issued within one year, because of all other sub-Acts, which means it has to. What's your view on the timescale of that…

Y Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth
You mention the code, and it does place a duty on the Ministers to provide that code, the residential outdoor education code. I'd just like to get your views on this, and in which way you think that could interact with the curriculum. Would it cause any…

Y Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth
The Bill does require Welsh Ministers to take all reasonable steps to ensure that children have a course of outdoor education, if they want to take it—it's in the explanatory memorandum. In your opinion, what kind of steps would the Welsh Ministers and the…

Y Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth
Minister, thank you for coming today. Do you think that the Bill achieves an appropriate balance between what is on the face of it and what is left for Welsh Ministers to determine, via regulation-making powers?

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Arolygu ac ariannu gofal iechyd
A ydych chi'n cytuno, ar y pwynt hwnnw—a gwn fod y Gweinidog wedi gwneud rhai sylwadau yno—fod llawer o fy etholwyr yn teimlo, pan fyddant yn gwneud cwynion i fyrddau iechyd yn uniongyrchol, ei fod yn teimlo fel pe bai'r bwrdd iechyd yn marcio eu gwaith…

Cwestiynau i Weinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg
Diolch i'r Gweinidog am ei ateb. Cawsom drafodaeth hir am hyn yn y pwyllgor y bore yma, am gynorthwywyr addysgu. Ond mae llawer o'r cynorthwywyr addysgu y siaradaf â nhw—. Maent yn hanfodol i gyflwyno'r Cwricwlwm i Gymru newydd, ond mae llawer ohonynt yn…

Cwestiynau i’r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Weinidog, ni all unrhyw un wadu bod angen inni wneud ein cartrefi cymdeithasol yn fwy cynaliadwy, ac nid ein cartrefi cymdeithasol yn unig, ond ein cartrefi preifat hefyd, i'w gwneud yn garbon niwtral, i wneud ein cartrefi'n gynhesach ac i gadw biliau ynni'n…

Because time is a big thing as well, isn't it? As you're well aware, a lot of teaching assistants only have term-time contracts as well, and a lot of them, when they're out of term, have to go and do other jobs as well. So, actually, the ability to go and…

I've just got some questions on teacher training, if that's okay, Minister. We tend to hear a lot from teaching assistants, who say they don't have enough time or enough opportunity to go on to do any training, to go on to get further qualifications to become…

A recent example of that was discontinuing year 7 free school breakfasts, to save £800,000 a year and not continuing the holiday free school meals. As I say, it's a Government balancing act, but it's just interesting how you've weighed up things like that…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24 - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Okay, that's fine. You say that supporting those who are most vulnerable to the costs of living remains a priority for you and a priority for the Government. How exactly did you go around allocating the budget with that guiding principle in mind?

Okay, lovely. The additional £10.9 million that's been put in the local authority education grant for school standards—I'm just interested in how you think that's going to be used. And did the recent Programme for International Student Assessment results…

That's fine. I'm sure, as a committee, we can write to the other Deputy Minister on this issue. Okay, I want to talk about the amalgamation of the 21 individual grants, if that's okay? One thing that we heard from headteachers—actually, this was quite…
