£250million investment in Carmarthenshire schools

SOME £250million has been invested in schools across Carmarthenshire – and more is on the way.

Since the county council launched its Modernising Education Programme, massive investment has taken place in both primary and secondary schools.

To date, eight new primaries and two new secondary schools have been built, with major refurbishment and extensions in another 37 primary schools and 11 secondaries.

Work is continuing with two new schemes expected for completion soon – a new build at Trimsaran and an extension and refurbishment at Coedcae.

New schools are also being built for Ysgol Pen Rhos in Llanelli and Ysgol Parc y Tywyn in Burry Port; and an extension at St John Lloyd.

The MEP is funded by Carmarthenshire County Council with support from the Welsh Government’s 21st Century Schools initiative.

Education executive board member Cllr Glynog Davies said: “Our Modernising Education Programme is transforming our network of schools to provide accommodation and facilities every child in our county deserves.

“A huge investment has already been made and it is continuing with more than £20million being spent this financial year.

“We are committed to the MEP and will endeavour, with the continued support of the Welsh Government, to ensure every school in Carmarthenshire benefits from this programme.”

Buddsoddi £250 miliwn yn ysgolion Sir Gaerfyrddin

Mae tua £250 miliwn wedi cael ei fuddsoddi mewn ysgolion ar draws Sir Gaerfyrddin – ac mae mwy o fuddsoddiad i ddod.

Ers i’r cyngor sir lansio ei Raglen Moderneiddio Addysg, buddsoddwyd symiau enfawr mewn ysgolion cynradd ac ysgolion uwchradd.

Hyd yn hyn, mae wyth ysgol gynradd newydd a dwy ysgol uwchradd newydd wedi cael eu hadeiladu, ac mae estyniadau a gwaith adnewyddu mawr wedi cael eu gwneud ar 37 o ysgolion cynradd ac 11 o ysgolion uwchradd eraill.

Mae’r gwaith yn parhau gyda dau gynllun newydd y disgwylir iddynt gael eu cwblhau’n fuan, sef adeilad newydd yn Nhrimsaran ac estyniad a gwaith adnewyddu yng Nghoedcae.

Mae ysgolion newydd hefyd yn cael eu hadeiladu ar gyfer Ysgol Pen Rhos yn Llanelli ac Ysgol Parc y Tywyn ym Mhorth Tywyn; ac estyniad yn Ysgol Sant Ioan Llwyd.

Mae’r Rhaglen Moderneiddio Addysg yn cael ei chyllido gan Gyngor Sir Caerfyrddin, gyda chymorth menter Ysgolion yr 21ain Ganrif gan Lywodraeth Cymru.

Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Glynog Davies, yr Aelod o’r Bwrdd Gweithredol dros Addysg: “Mae ein Rhaglen Moderneiddio Addysg yn trawsnewid ein rhwydwaith o ysgolion er mwyn darparu adeiladau a chyfleusterau y mae pob plentyn yn ein sir yn eu haeddu.

“Mae buddsoddiad anferth eisoes wedi cael ei wneud ac mae’n parhau wrth i fwy na £20 miliwn gael ei wario yn ystod y flwyddyn ariannol hon.

“Rydym yn ymroddedig i’r Rhaglen Moderneiddio Addysg a byddwn yn gwneud ein gorau, gyda chymorth parhaus Llywodraeth Cymru, i sicrhau bod pob ysgol yn Sir Gaerfyrddin yn elwa ar y rhaglen hon.”
