English: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. First of all, Minister, can I just thank you for the statement you released just before we came to Plenary today? I'm sure you will be getting questions on school closures, but I'm actually going to focus my questions on post-16 education. It does, however, inevitably mean beginning with a question about those studying for those key exams at ages 16, 17 and 18, as well as PGCE students, who have to complete their school placements in order to qualify. And your answer may also be relevant for childcare students, who are in placements perhaps, if not in a school, at least on a site that's shared with a school. If schools are going to close, or partly close, I think this timetable for getting students ready for their final exams and assessments is going to be significantly affected. We're hitting a time of year when, particularly at GCSE, controlled assessments for GCSEs are about to be conducted. It's got direct implications for pupils and teachers - whether they're absent or not absent. And even with supply teachers, there's a possibility, I suppose, of seconding qualified teachers back into the classrooms from other locations. It also has implications for exam boards and Qualifications Wales when it comes to marking and moderating results. So, what options are you considering now about exams due to be taken next term? Who are you talking to about this? And when can we realistically expect a decision on what might happen about either postponement or predicted grades, or any other alternatives?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Lywydd. Yn gyntaf, Weinidog, a gaf fi ddiolch i chi am y datganiad a wnaethoch cyn inni ddod i'r Cyfarfod Llawn heddiw? Rwy'n siŵr y byddwch yn cael cwestiynau ynglŷn â chau ysgolion, ond bydd fy nghwestiynau'n canolbwyntio ar addysg ôl-16. Fodd bynnag, mae'n anochel fod hynny'n golygu dechrau gyda chwestiwn am y rheini sy'n astudio ar gyfer arholiadau allweddol yn 16, 17 a 18 oed, yn ogystal â myfyrwyr TAR, sy'n gorfod cwblhau eu lleoliadau mewn ysgolion er mwyn cymhwyso. Ac efallai y bydd eich ateb hefyd yn berthnasol i fyfyrwyr gofal plant, sydd ar leoliadau efallai, os nad mewn ysgol, yna o leiaf ar safle sy'n cael ei rannu ag ysgol. Os yw'r ysgolion yn mynd i gau, neu gau'n rhannol, credaf y bydd yr amserlen hon ar gyfer paratoi myfyrwyr ar gyfer eu hasesiadau a'u harholiadau terfynol yn cael ei heffeithio'n sylweddol. Rydym yn cyrraedd adeg o'r flwyddyn, yn enwedig ar gyfer TGAU, pan fo asesiadau dan reolaeth ar gyfer TGAU ar fin cael eu cynnal. Mae i hyn oblygiadau uniongyrchol i ddisgyblion ac athrawon - p'un a ydynt yn absennol ai peidio. A hyd yn oed gydag athrawon cyflenwi, am wn i ei bod hi'n bosibl secondio athrawon cymwys yn ôl i'r ystafelloedd dosbarth o leoliadau eraill. Mae gan hyn oblygiadau hefyd i fyrddau arholi a Cymwysterau Cymru o ran marcio a chymedroli canlyniadau. Felly, pa opsiynau rydych yn eu hystyried ar hyn o bryd ar gyfer arholiadau sydd i gael eu sefyll y tymor nesaf? Gyda phwy rydych chi'n siarad am hyn? A phryd, yn realistig, y gallwn ddisgwyl penderfyniad ynglŷn â'r hyn a allai ddigwydd naill ai ynghylch gohirio neu raddau a ragwelir, neu unrhyw ddewisiadau amgen eraill?
