English: This isn't just me saying this - this is employers who are voting with their decisions not to take on young people from Wales who have sat some of these qualifications. This is universities - top universities around the UK - who are saying, 'We don't accept the GCSE in numeracy for people from Wales as being equivalent to GCSE maths', which, of course, is what Qualifications Wales are telling us. This is universities who are not accepting the Welsh baccalaureate as being of equal value to the A-levels that children and young people sit elsewhere across the country. So, you can get up and you can posture all you like, Cabinet Secretary - the reality is that these are clearly not of equal value in the market where they need to be of equal value, and that is in terms of helping people to get jobs and to get into those HE courses and onto the FE courses that they need to. And not only that, but one of the reasons that teachers tell me and the pupils tell me that they're getting lower grades is because, of course, they've now got two sets of exams to sit when it comes to mathematics - a numeracy one and a maths one. That is causing problems with timetabling, it's causing problems that are putting a squeeze on some of those other subjects, and it's dragging down their results. Now, I notice that last week it was revealed that there's an expert who you are employing to sell these new qualifications to GCSEs around the country, wasting taxpayers' money, because you are pursuing this differential approach. What action are you going to take to tell us how much that is costing and what has been wasted on these so far, and when are you going to abandon this ludicrous project?
Welsh: Nid fi yn unig sy'n dweud hyn, ond y cyflogwyr sy'n pleidleisio â'u penderfyniadau i beidio â derbyn pobl ifanc o Gymru sydd wedi sefyll rhai o'r cymwysterau hyn; y prifysgolion - prifysgolion blaenllaw ledled y DU - sy'n dweud, 'Nid ydym yn derbyn bod TGAU rhifedd pobl o Gymru yn gyfwerth â TGAU mathemateg', sef yr hyn y mae Cymwysterau Cymru yn ei ddweud wrthym, wrth gwrs. Y prifysgolion nad ydynt yn derbyn bod bagloriaeth Cymru yn gyfwerth â'r arholiadau Safon Uwch y mae plant a phobl ifanc yn eu sefyll mewn mannau eraill ledled y wlad sy'n dweud hyn. Felly, gallwch wneud cymaint o honiadau ag yr hoffwch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet - y gwir amdani yw ei bod yn amlwg nad yw'r rhain o werth cyfartal mewn marchnad lle mae angen iddynt fod o werth cyfartal, sef mewn perthynas â chynorthwyo pobl i gael swyddi ac i gael eu derbyn ar y cyrsiau addysg uwch ac ar y cyrsiau addysg bellach sydd eu hangen arnynt. Ac nid yn unig hynny, ond un o'r rhesymau y mae athrawon yn dweud wrthyf ac y mae'r disgyblion yn dweud wrthyf eu bod yn cael graddau is yw oherwydd, wrth gwrs, fod ganddynt bellach ddwy set o arholiadau i'w sefyll mewn perthynas â mathemateg - un ar gyfer rhifedd ac un ar gyfer mathemateg. Mae hynny'n achosi problemau gydag amserlennu, mae'n achosi problemau sy'n rhoi pwysau ar bynciau eraill, ac mae'n gwaethygu eu canlyniadau. Nawr, datgelwyd yr wythnos diwethaf eich bod yn cyflogi arbenigwr i hyrwyddo'r cymwysterau TGAU newydd ledled y wlad, gan wastraffu arian trethdalwyr, gan eich bod yn mynd ar drywydd y dull gwahanol hwn. Pa gamau rydych am eu cymryd i ddweud wrthym faint y mae hynny'n ei gostio, a faint sydd wedi'i wastraffu arnynt hyd yn hyn, a phryd rydych yn mynd i roi'r gorau i'r prosiect hurt hwn?
