English: Well, I'm not sure if the Member availed himself of the opportunity to attend the briefing this morning - I'm afraid I was at the Seren conference - if he was there, he would have received a very deep analysis of the figures, and it's simply not true, what he has characterised. Statistically, we are performing at the OECD average. Is average good enough? Well, as the old cricketing saying goes, averages are for average players, and I want to be better than average. But considering that just three years ago, we were significantly below the OECD average, I think we have picked ourselves up and we have regained some dignity here in our Welsh education system, and it is a building block on which we can move forward, and move forward I am determined to do. We are not standing still, we have made improvements in our scores across all the pieces. Now, the Member is correct to say that we have come from a low base, but we have now recorded today the best ever score in maths and the best ever score in reading. There is more work to be done - I have been very clear since I got to my feet this afternoon that I'm not resting on my laurels and I'm not taking anything for granted. There is more hard work to be done. But today is something that we can be pleased with. As I said, it's positive, but it is not perfect, and I, and, more importantly than me, the teachers of Wales are determined to do even better. I see that every day when I visit them; there is a shared ambition across our nation. We have improved today, but we will improve further, I am confident of that.
Welsh: Wel, nid wyf i'n siŵr a wnaeth yr Aelod fanteisio ar y cyfle i fynd i'r sesiwn friffio y bore yma - rwy'n ofni fy mod i yng nghynhadledd Seren - ond os oedd ef yno, byddai wedi cael dadansoddiad dwfn iawn o'r ffigurau, ac nid yw hynny'n wir o gwbl, yr hyn y mae ef wedi'i nodi. Yn ystadegol, rydym ni'n perfformio ar gyfartaledd yr OECD. A yw ar gyfartaledd yn ddigon da? Wel, fel y dywed yr hen ddywediad criced, mae cyfartaleddau ar gyfer chwaraewyr cyffredin, ac rwyf am fod yn well na'r cyffredin. Ond o ystyried mai dim ond tair blynedd yn ôl, roeddem yn is o lawer na chyfartaledd yr OECD, credaf ein bod wedi codi ein hunain ac wedi adennill rhywfaint o urddas yma yn system addysg Cymru, ac mae'n sail y gallwn ni symud ymlaen arni, ac rwy'n benderfynol o wneud hynny. Nid ydym ni'n sefyll yn ein hunfan, rydym wedi gwneud gwelliannau yn ein sgoriau ar draws yr holl rannau. Nawr, mae'r Aelod yn gywir i ddweud ein bod wedi dod o sylfaen isel, ond rydym ni bellach wedi cofnodi heddiw y sgôr gorau erioed mewn mathemateg a'r sgôr gorau erioed mewn darllen. Mae rhagor o waith i'w wneud - rwyf i wedi bod yn glir iawn ers imi godi ar fy nhraed y prynhawn yma nad wyf yn gorffwys ar fy rhwyfau ac nad wyf yn cymryd unrhyw beth yn ganiataol. Mae rhagor o waith caled i'w wneud. Ond mae heddiw yn rhywbeth y gallwn ni fod yn falch ohono. Fel y dywedais, mae'n gadarnhaol, ond nid yw'n berffaith, ac rwyf i, ac, yn bwysicach na hynny, mae athrawon Cymru yn benderfynol o wneud yn well byth. Gwelaf hynny bob dydd yr ymwelaf â nhw; mae yna uchelgais gyffredin ledled ein cenedl. Rydym wedi gwella heddiw, ond byddwn yn gwella eto, rwy'n ffyddiog o hynny.
