English: Well, I will take up the invitation to repeat my congratulations to young people in Wales, who have been through a very, very difficult period. I think, in some ways, this last year was the most disruptive in terms of the experience in the classroom, and so returning to an exam series in that context, I think, was a particularly challenging task. But I think the results have demonstrated the tenacity of our young people, their commitment to their own learning, and the incredible work that teachers and the wider education workforce have done in order to support our young people. We are looking at next year already, obviously. People studying exams next year will have experienced disruption in this year, so there will be some lessons to be learnt from the experience of the last year, of course, in that context. Qualifications Wales have already said that the particular course adaptations that had to be implemented this year will not be in place for next year. However, there will be advanced notification of examined areas for young people to focus their revision in that way, so that is one aspect that will be developed from this year. And Qualifications Wales is currently working with other exam regulators in other parts of the UK to look at grading for next year and grade boundaries for next year. That work is currently under way. Many of us will have spoken to learners on the results days for GCSEs and A-levels. My own experience of that was that the revision support and the online support that young people were able to draw on leading up to exams was appreciated, and we will certainly be looking to carry that over into the next year as well. We obviously hope that the year ahead is not like the last year, but certainly learners will have had the experience of this year, taking that forward into next year's exams, so they will need that additional support from us as well.
Welsh: Wel, rwyf am dderbyn y gwahoddiad i ailadrodd fy llongyfarchiadau i bobl ifanc yng Nghymru, sydd wedi bod drwy gyfnod anodd iawn. Mewn rhai ffyrdd, rwy'n credu mai'r flwyddyn ddiwethaf hon oedd y fwyaf aflonyddgar o ran y profiad yn yr ystafell ddosbarth, ac felly roedd dychwelyd at arholiadau yn y cyd-destun hwnnw yn dasg arbennig o heriol yn fy marn i. Ond rwy'n credu bod y canlyniadau wedi dangos dycnwch ein pobl ifanc, eu hymrwymiad i'w dysgu eu hunain, a'r gwaith anhygoel y mae athrawon a'r gweithlu addysg ehangach wedi'i wneud i gefnogi ein pobl ifanc. Rydym yn edrych ar y flwyddyn nesaf yn barod wrth gwrs. Bydd pobl sy'n astudio arholiadau y flwyddyn nesaf wedi profi aflonyddwch yn ystod y flwyddyn hon felly bydd rhai gwersi i'w dysgu o brofiadau'r flwyddyn ddiwethaf yn y cyd-destun hwnnw wrth gwrs. Mae Cymwysterau Cymru eisoes wedi dweud na fydd yr addasiadau i gyrsiau penodol y bu'n rhaid eu gweithredu eleni yn weithredol ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf. Fodd bynnag, bydd pobl ifanc yn cael gwybod ymlaen llaw pa feysydd fydd yn cael eu harholi fel y gallant ganolbwyntio eu gwaith adolygu yn y ffordd honno, felly mae honno'n un agwedd a fydd yn cael ei datblygu o eleni ymlaen. Ac mae Cymwysterau Cymru yn gweithio gyda rheoleiddwyr arholiadau eraill mewn rhannau eraill o'r DU ar hyn o bryd mewn perthynas â graddio a ffiniau graddau ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf. Mae'r gwaith hwnnw ar y gweill ar hyn o bryd. Bydd llawer ohonom wedi siarad â dysgwyr ar ddiwrnodau canlyniadau TGAU a Safon Uwch. Fy mhrofiad i o hynny oedd bod pobl ifanc yn gwerthfawrogi'r cymorth adolygu a'r cymorth ar-lein yr oeddent yn gallu manteisio arno cyn arholiadau, a byddwn yn sicr eisiau parhau â'r cymorth hwnnw y flwyddyn nesaf hefyd. Yn amlwg, rydym yn gobeithio na fydd y flwyddyn o'n blaenau yn debyg i'r flwyddyn ddiwethaf, ond yn sicr bydd dysgwyr wedi cael y profiad a gawsant eleni wrth iddynt symud ymlaen at arholiadau'r flwyddyn nesaf, felly byddant angen y cymorth ychwanegol hwnnw gennym ni hefyd.
