Mae’r rhan fwyaf o ysgolion, colegau a darparwyr addysg a hyfforddiant eraill yn perfformio’n dda, yn ôl Adroddiad Blynyddol Prif Arolygydd Ei Mawrhydi dros Addysg a Hyfforddiant yng Nghymru 2008-2009. Dros y deuddeng mis diwethaf bu gwelliant ar draws pob sector ac mae arolygwyr wedi gweld mwy o waith ‘da’ a ‘rhagorol’ na gwaith ‘gwael’ neu ‘anfoddhaol’.

Mae Wythnos Prentisiaethau Cymru yn clodfori sgiliau a brwdfrydedd y bobl sy’n dysgu gan eu cyflogwyr, ond sydd hwythau’n gaffaeliad i’r swydd.

Yn 2008/09, methwyd 6.8 y cant o sesiynau (hanner diwrnod) drwy absenoldeb gydag awdurdod a heb awdurdod, cynnydd o'r 6.7 y cant yn 2007/08.
