Mae'n rhaid cyflwyno Cwestiynau Ysgrifenedig bum diwrnod gwaith o leiaf cyn y maent i gael eu hateb.  Yn ymarferol, bydd Gweinidogion yn ceisio ateb o fewn saith neu wyth diwrnod ond nid oes rheidrwydd arnynt i wneud hynny. Cyhoeddir yr atebion unwaith iddynt gael eu derbyn yn yr iaith y'u cyflwynir ynddi, gyda chyfieithiad i'r Saesneg o ymatebion a roddir yn y Gymraeg.

 

Gofyn i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg

Andrew RT Davies (Canol De Cymru):  A wnaiff y Gweinidog gadarnhau faint o raddedigion o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd sydd wedi mynd ar goll ar ôl astudio ym mhrifysgolion Cymru ac yna eu gadael gan fod mewn dyled i'r prifysgolion perthnasol ar ffurf benthyciadau? (WAQ70278)

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg (Kirsty Williams): Tuition fee support provided by Student Finance Wales (SFW) is paid directly to the relevant university on behalf of the student. The loans are repayable to the Government through the Student Loans Company and or HMRC.
At the end of the 2014-15, there were 5,635 students from the EU who have received support from SFW. Of that total, 355 had fully repaid their loans, 2,945 were not yet liable for repayment and 2,355 were liable to repay. Of the borrowers liable to repay, 90 were classified as being in arrears with their repayments and 820 have been placed in arrears because no income details had been provided or further information is being sought.
