At a press conference last week I said that I would soon make a decision on what qualifications in Wales would look like next year and that I would announce that decision on Tuesday, November 10\.


The reason for waiting until then is so that all learners will be back in school following the firebreak with access to, and support from, their teachers.


I also said that I was awaiting important information and advice relating to qualifications before making any decisions.


This included the interim recommendations of an independent review I commissioned and further advice from Qualifications Wales with a specific focus on deliverability and equality in any approach. 


Today, I am pleased to confirm I have received both pieces of advice and they are publicly available on the links below.


I would like to thank both Qualifications Wales and the review panel chaired by Louise Casella, Director of the Open University in Wales, for their thorough work and preparing these important documents for consideration.


I have always said that it is vital that we hear from learners who took qualifications this year, and those due to take qualifications next year, to learn from their experiences before reaching a final decision.


The independent review’s recent consultation was open to learners, I look forward to reading what they have had to say and am pleased that this information will now help inform our final decision on next year’s exams.


I will now consider these pieces of advice before discussing next week with young people and the workforce before announcing our decision on Tuesday, November 10\.


Diolch yn fawr.

Mewn cynhadledd i’r wasg yr wythnos diwethaf, dywedais y byddwn yn dod i benderfyniad yn fuan ynghylch beth fyddai’r sefyllfa o ran cymwysterau yng Nghymru y flwyddyn nesaf, ac y byddwn yn cyhoeddi’r penderfyniad hwnnw ddydd Mawrth, Tachwedd 10\.


Y rheswm dros aros tan hynny yw y bydd pob dysgwr yn ôl yn yr ysgol ar ôl y cyfnod clo byr ac y bydd eu hathrawon wrth law i’w cefnogi.


Dywedais hefyd fy mod am aros am wybodaeth a chyngor pwysig ynghylch cymwysterau cyn dod i unrhyw benderfyniad.


Mae hyn yn cynnwys argymhellion interim adolygiad annibynnol a gomisiynwyd gen i, a chyngor pellach gan Gymwysterau Cymru, gyda ffocws penodol ar ymarferoldeb a chyfleoedd cyfartal. 


Heddiw, rwy’n falch o gael cadarnhau bod y cyngor hwn wedi dod i law o’r ddwy ffynhonnell, ac maent ar gael i’r cyhoedd eu gweld yn y dolenni isod.


Hoffwn ddiolch i Gymwysterau Cymru a’r panel adolygu a gadeiriwyd gan Louise Casella, Cyfarwyddwr y Brifysgol Agored yng Nghymru, am eu gwaith trwyadl ac am baratoi’r dogfennau pwysig hyn inni eu hystyried.


Rwyf wedi dweud bob amser ei bod yn hollbwysig clywed gan ddysgwyr a gafodd eu cymwysterau eleni, a’r rheini a fydd yn cael eu cymwysterau y flwyddyn nesaf, er mwyn dysgu o’u profiadau nhw cyn dod i benderfyniad terfynol.


Roedd ymgynghoriad diweddar yr adolygiad annibynnol yn agored i ddysgwyr. Edrychaf ymlaen at ddarllen yr hyn a oedd ganddynt i’w ddweud, ac rwy’n falch bod yr wybodaeth hon nawr yn mynd i’n helpu i ddod i’n penderfyniad terfynol ynghylch arholiadau’r flwyddyn nesaf.


Byddaf nawr yn ystyried y cyngor hwn cyn mynd ati yr wythnos nesaf i drafod gyda phobl ifanc a’r gweithlu, cyn cyhoeddi ein penderfyniad ddydd Mawrth, Tachwedd 10\.


Diolch yn fawr.
