In line with this government’s vision for an education accountability system that is fair, coherent, proportionate and transparent, I am today launching a formal consultation on new regulations related to the routine publication of teacher assessment and test data.  

  

As set out in our action plan ‘Education in Wales: Our National Mission’, we will publish a new over\-arching assessment and evaluation framework for the education system during autumn 2018, and this will be evaluated and tested in schools  

  

International evidence, and the message within Wales, is clear. We must ensure a coherent approach that avoids unintended consequences and contributes towards the raising of standards in every classroom and for all our learners.  

  

Ensuring coherence was a key finding in the Organisation for Economic Co\-operation and Development’s (OECD) rapid policy assessment “The Welsh Education Reform Journey”. One of the report’s recommendations was the need for Wales to move towards a new system of assessment, evaluation and accountability that aligns with the new 21st century curriculum.  

  

In July I made a statement outlining my intentions around assessment for learning where I highlighted that currently teacher assessments also form part of our accountability system and the lines between the two have too often been blurred, leading to unintended consequences in the classroom.    

  

I announced that a consultation was to take place on the collection and use of teacher assessment and tests data including a proposal to cease the publication of teacher assessment and National Reading and Numeracy test data below the national level from 2018 onwards.Following on from Education in Wales: our national mission, I  can today confirm that we are  launching a formal consultation on new regulations in preparation to end the routine publication of teacher assessment and test data allowing more focus to be placed on schools’ self\-evaluations.  Schools, governing bodies and local authorities would continue to have access to their own data alongside national level data to evaluate how well their school(s) is performing and to inform their planning.  

  

The proposed amending Regulations remove statutory requirements currently placed on organisations, such as schools and governing bodies, to use teacher assessment and test data in their planning and reporting processes. As I have set out previously, assessment should be focused on the primary purpose of providing information that can guide decisions about how best to progress young people’s learning and to report to their parents and carers on that progress. When assessment is used for learning purposes, it means that teaching is always adaptive, specific to the learner and supports raising standards for all.  

  

The consultation, which can be accessed following the link below, seeks views from the public as to whether the proposed Regulations help progress our aims to refocus assessment on learning.  

  

The consultation will close on 30th January.  I encourage everyone involved in the sector to participate.

Yn unol â gweledigaeth y llywodraeth hon am system atebolrwydd deg, gydlynol, gymesur a thryloyw ym myd addysg, rwyf heddiw'n lansio ymgynghoriad ffurfiol ar reoliadau newydd mewn perthynas â chyhoeddi, fel mater o drefn, ddata asesiadau athrawon a phrofion.  
  
Fel y nodir yn ein cynllun gweithredu 'Addysg yng Nghymru: Cenhadaeth ein Cenedl', byddwn, yn ystod mis Hydref 2018, yn cyhoeddi fframwaith asesu a gwerthuso cyffredinol newydd ar gyfer y system addysg. Yna, caiff ei brofi a'i werthuso mewn ysgolion.  
  
Mae tystiolaeth ryngwladol, yn ogystal â'r neges yma yng Nghymru, yn glir. Rhaid sicrhau ymagwedd gydlynol sy'n osgoi canlyniadau nas bwriadwyd ac sy'n cyfrannu tuag at godi safonau ym mhob ystafell ddosbarth ac ar gyfer pob dysgwr.   
  
Adleisiwyd y safbwynt hwn yn asesiad polisi cyflym y Sefydliad ar gyfer Cydweithrediad a Datblygiad Economaidd (OECD), "The Welsh Education Reform Journey". Un o argymhellion yr adroddiad oedd bod angen i Gymru symud tuag at system asesu, gwerthuso ac atebolrwydd newydd sy'n cyd\-fynd â chwricwlwm yr 21ain ganrif.  
  
Ym mis Gorffennaf, gwnes i ddatganiad yn amlinellu fy mwriadau o ran asesu ar gyfer dysgu. Soniais fod asesiadau athrawon ar hyn o bryd hefyd yn rhan o'n system atebolrwydd, ac felly fod y llinellau rhwng y ddau wedi bod yn aneglur yn aml, gan arwain at ganlyniadau nas bwriadwyd yn yr ystafell ddosbarth.    
  
Cyhoeddais y byddai ymgynghoriad yn cael ei gynnal ar gasglu a defnyddio data asesiadau athrawon a phrofion gan gynnwys cynnig i beidio â chyhoeddi data asesiadau athrawon a phrofion Darllen a Rhifedd Cenedlaethol sy’n is na’r lefel genedlaethol o 2018 ymlaen. Felly, gan ddilyn ymlaen o Addysg yng Nghymru: Cenhadaeth ein Cenedl, gallaf gadarnhau heddiw ein bod yn lansio ymgynghoriad ffurfiol ar reoliadau newydd wrth baratoi i roi’r gorau i gyhoeddi data asesiadau athrawon a phrofion fel mater o drefn, gan ganiatáu i fwy o sylw gael ei roi i hunanwerthusiadau ysgolion.  Bydd ysgolion, cyrff llywodraethu ac awdurdodau lleol yn parhau i gael mynediad at eu data eu hunain, ynghyd â data ar lefel genedlaethol, i werthuso pa mor dda y mae ysgol(ion) yn perfformio ac fel sail i'w cynlluniau.  
  
Mae'r Rheoliadau diwygio arfaethedig yn tynnu'r gofynion statudol sydd ar sefydliadau ar hyn o bryd, megis ysgolion a chyrff llywodraethu, i ddefnyddio data asesiadau athrawon a phrofion yn eu prosesau cynllunio ac adrodd. Fel rwyf eisoes wedi nodi, dylai asesu ganolbwyntio ar y prif ddiben, sef darparu gwybodaeth i lywio penderfyniadau am sut orau i wneud cynnydd o ran dysgu pobl ifanc, ac adrodd ar y cynnydd hwnnw i'w rhieni a'u gofalwyr. Mae defnyddio asesu at ddibenion dysgu yn golygu bod dysgu'n addasol bob amser, a hefyd ei fod yn benodol i'r dysgwr ac yn cefnogi'r gwaith o gynyddu safonau i bawb.  
  
Mae'r ymgynghoriad, sydd ar gael drwy'r ddolen isod, yn gofyn am farn y cyhoedd i weld a yw'r Rheoliadau arfaethedig yn helpu i wneud cynnydd o ran ein hamcanion ac yn helpu i ailffocysu asesu ar ddysgu.  
  
Bydd yr ymgynghoriad yn cau ar 30 Ionawr. Anogaf bawb yn y sector i gyfrannu ato.
