Mae'n rhaid cyflwyno Cwestiynau Ysgrifenedig bum diwrnod gwaith o leiaf cyn y maent i gael eu hateb. Yn ymarferol, mae'r Gweinidogion yn ceisio ateb o fewn saith neu wyth diwrnod ond nid yw'n orfodol iddynt wneud hynny. Cyhoeddir yr atebion yn yr iaith y'u cyflwynir ynddi, gyda chyfieithiad i'r Saesneg o ymatebion a roddir yn Gymraeg.
Gofyn i'r Gweinidog Addysg a Sgiliau
Andrew RT Davies (Canol De Cymru): Pam nad yw Cymru yn dyfarnu statws athro cymwysedig yn awtomatig i athrawon a wnaeth gymhwyso yn yr Unol Daleithiau, yn enwedig gan ei fod yn cael ei roi yn awtomatig yn Lloegr? (WAQ69280)

Gweinidog Addysg a Sgiliau (Huw Lewis): To be able to work in a maintained school in Wales individuals are required by law to hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and to register with the Education Workforce Council. Unlike England, we do not automatically confer QTS on teachers from overseas, or on qualified further education practitioners without assessment against the professional standards. However, we welcome and recognise fully the contribution well qualified, experienced and skilled overseas teachers can make to teaching and learning in Wales. We have in place arrangements under our employment-based teacher training programme for overseas trained teachers to complete a short period of in-school training to enable them to meet the QTS standards.
The current QTS standards in Wales include specific requirements on being able to know, understand and teach the relevant curriculum for the age range a student teacher is being trained to teach; to be aware of the statutory safeguarding requirements; and to be familiar with specific Welsh Government policy priority areas. For example, teaching methods for implementing the literacy and numeracy framework and meeting the teacher assessment requirements.
