Mae’r niferoedd uchel o raddau A\*\-C, sydd yn y ddwy flynedd ddiwethaf wedi cyrraedd lefel uwch nag erioed, wedi’u cynnal a gwelwyd cynnydd yn y rheini a gafodd y graddau uchaf.

 Mae’r ystadegau yn dangos:

 * Bod cyfran y graddau A\*\-A wedi cynyddu 0\.2 pwynt canran o gymharu â’r llynedd, ac wedi cyrraedd 19\.4%.
* Cynnydd mewn graddau A\*, sydd wedi codi 0\.1% i 6\.1%.
* Cyfradd basio gyffredinol A\*\-C o 66\.6%, sy’n golygu bod tua dwy ran o dair o bob disgybl wedi cael graddau A\*\-C.
* Cyfradd basio gyffredinol A\*\-G o 98\.7%, yr un fath â’r llynedd.
* Bod y canlyniadau mathemateg yng Nghymru ymhlith disgyblion 16 oed dros flwyddyn academaidd gyfan 2015\-16 yn dangos gwelliannau ym mhob gradd, a bod cyfraddau pasio A\*\-C nawr wedi cyrraedd 65\.5%.
* Bod mwy nag 14,000 o ddysgwyr wedi cael Diploma’r Fagloriaeth Gymreig.
* Bod cynnydd o 0\.4 pwynt canran yn nifer y dysgwyr a gwblhaodd eu Bagloriaeth Gymreig ar lefel ganolradd o gymharu â lefelau 2015\.
* Bod bron i 12,000 o ddysgwyr wedi cael y Diploma Canolradd llawn.

 Wrth ymweld ag ysgol Cefn Hengoed yn Abertawe, dywedodd Kirsty Williams:

 
> “Dwi am longyfarch y miloedd o bobl ifanc sydd wedi cael eu canlyniadau. Mae canlyniadau TGAU eleni yn dangos perfformiad cryf arall. Mae dwy ran o dair o’n dysgwyr wedi cael o leiaf A\*\-C ac mae yna gynnydd yn y graddau uchaf, diolch i waith caled ein disgyblion a’u hathrawon. 
> 
>  “Mae’r perfformiad yn y pynciau gwyddoniaeth unigol yn parhau’n uchel o gymharu â chanlyniadau gweddill y DU ac mae’r canlyniadau lefel mynediad hefyd wedi codi. Mae ein perfformiad yn y Fagloriaeth hefyd yn wych, ac mae gan fwy nag 14,000 o ddisgyblion sgiliau a phrofiadau ychwanegol bellach sy’n rhoi mantais iddynt mewn byd cynyddol gystadleuol.
> 
>  “Fe all athrawon a disgyblion ymfalchïo yn y ffaith bod Cymru wedi cynnal ei record o ran y gyfradd basio. Fe fydda i’n parhau i ganolbwyntio ar godi’r safonau a’n huchelgais i sicrhau rhagoriaeth ym mhob un o’n hysgolion.”

 Mae cymwysterau TGAU yn newid yng Nghymru; ers Medi 2015 mae chwe phwnc TGAU wedi bod yn cael eu haddysgu ar eu ffurf ddiwygiedig am y tro cyntaf – Cymraeg Iaith, Saesneg Iaith, Llenyddiaeth Gymraeg, Llenyddiaeth Saesneg, Mathemateg Rhifedd a Mathemateg. Bydd arholiadau Tachwedd 2016 a haf 2017 yn adlewyrchu’r cymwysterau newydd hyn.

 Visiting Cefn Hengoed school in Swansea, Kirsty Williams said:

 
> “I want to congratulate the thousands of young people receiving their results. This year’s GCSEs show another strong performance with two thirds of our learners achieving at least A\* \-C and an increase in the top grades. This is due to the hard work of our pupils and their teachers. 
> 
>  “The performance of our individual science subjects remains high when compared with the UK results and entry levels have also increased.  Our Welsh Baccalaureate performance is also excellent with more than 14,000 pupils now having extra skills and experiences that give them an edge in an increasingly competitive world.   
>   
> “Teachers and pupils can be proud that Wales has maintained our record pass rate.  I will continue to focus on raising standards and ambitions for excellence across all our schools.”

 GCSEs in Wales are changing; six GCSE subjects with first teaching already started in September 2015 have been reformed \- English Language, Welsh Language, English Literature, Welsh Literature, Mathematics Numeracy and Mathematics. The November 2016 and summer 2017 exams will reflect these new qualifications.
