CANDIDATE STATEMENT

The phrase 'The sky is the limit' highlights how opportunities differ based on privilege; for many, that 'limit' is not the same. This must change. All students, deserve equal access to resources, regardless of background. If elected, I will work to eliminate educational inequalities by advocating for Universal Free School Meals in secondary schools, ensuring that all students can focus on their education. Furthermore, under Article 12 of the UNCRC, students have the right to feel safe at school, and I will push for increased mental health support in all schools. As Student Ambassador for NCREW, I will also advocate for a set, guided learning time for the new Religion, Value and Ethics curriculum, therefore enabling all students to develop fully-rounded opinions relevant to 21st Century Wales. These are all topics and pritorites I, and others think are important to fight for on a national scale. I believe my experience, coupled with my enthusiam for change, makes me an ideal candidate.

DATGANIAD YMGEISYDD

Mae’r ymadrodd ‘Anelu’n uchel’ yn amlygu sut mae cyfleoedd yn amrywio yn seiliedig ar fraint; i lawer, dydy ‘uchel’ ddim yr un peth. Mae’n rhaid i hyn newid. Mae pob disgybl yn haeddu adnoddau, dim ots beth yw ei gefndir. Os caf fy ethol, dw i’n mynd i weithio ar gael gwared ar anghydraddoldebau addysgol drwy eirioli dros brydau ysgol am ddim mewn ysgolion uwchradd, gan sicrhau bod pob disgybl yn gallu canolbwyntio ar ei addysg. Hefyd, dan Erthygl 12 o Gonfensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Hawliau Plant, mae gan ddisgyblion hawl i deimlo’n ddiogel yn yr ysgol, a dw i’n mynd i wthio am fwy o gymorth iechyd meddwl ym mhob ysgol. Fel Llysgennad Disgyblion NCREW, dw i hefyd yn mynd i eirioli am amser dysgu dan arweiniad penodol ar gyfer y cwricwlwm Crefydd, Gwerthoedd a Moeseg newydd, fydd yn galluogi pob disgybl i ddatblygu barn lawn yn berthnasol i Cymru yn yr 21ain ganrif. Mae bob pwnc uchod yn flaenoriaeth i mi, a dw i’n meddwl bod rhai eraill yn bwysig i’w datrys ar lefel genedlaethol. Dw i’n credu bod fy mhrofiad ac fy mrwdfrydedd i newid pethau yn fy ngwneud i’n ymgeisydd delfrydol.
