"absenoldeb" in context

Wrth gwrs, dylai cyfraddau absenoldeb o'r ysgol fod yn un o'r blaenoriaethau i Lywodraeth Cymru ym Mhreseli Sir Benfro.

Of course, one of the priorities for the Welsh Government in Preseli Pembrokeshire should be the county's school absence rates.

C1

Felly, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, a allwch chi roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am y camau diweddaraf i fynd i'r afael â chyfraddau absenoldeb o'r ysgol yn sir Benfro?

Therefore, Cabinet Secretary, can you provide an update on the latest action to address school absence rates in Pembrokeshire?

C1

But, coming back to my third question, absenteeism isn't the only thing that's going up under the Government's watch.

B2

Ond un o'r heriau sydd eisoes wedi'i drafod gan gyd-Aelodau yw'r gyfradd absenoldeb barhaus sydd gennym yng Nghymru, sy'n ystyfnig o uchel.

But one of the challenges that's already been discussed by colleagues is this persistent absence rate that we have in Wales, which is stubbornly high.
