English: The first thing is good morning, all, and thank you for the opportunity to be here. It has been another difficult year and I'd like to thank everybody within the education sector - [ Inaudible. ] - the colleges, Qualifications Wales, the Government and everyone else, but in particular the learners and the teachers for all the collaboration with us. So, thank you for that. Looking back on this year - the summer - on the whole, I think things went well, particularly given the circumstances. The priority for us was the well-being of these young people and ensuring that they had the opportunity to move forward to the next step in their education or employment. The process during the summer was one that was designed jointly with the design and delivery advisory group, which was established by the education Minister, and I'd like to thank them as well for all their co-operation. I think that worked very well, and perhaps that provides us with some ideas on how to work in the future that could benefit everyone. In the circumstances, I think the important thing was to be very flexible in terms of assessment, and we did that. Unfortunately, that does come with some inconsistency and poses questions about standards, but we have to remember that it was a very difficult situation. It still is a very difficult situation, and I'm confident that we responded in the best way in looking at young people's well-being and providing them with every opportunity. I think there was some concern from young people that perhaps there was too much assessment, particularly in May of this year, and I know that all of this brought additional work to the schools and colleges and hopefully we'll learn from that - we are learning from that - and that people will see the advantages of that in 2022. The final point from me, perhaps, is that there were some concerns regarding the appeals system, but, in the end, I think the system worked well and, from our point of view, things went quite well over that period, at least compared to previous years. So, that's my response to the first question.
Welsh: Y peth cyntaf, bore da, bawb, a diolch am y cyfle i fod yma. Mae wedi bod yn flwyddyn arall anodd dros ben a hoffwn i ddiolch i bawb o fewn y sector addysg - [ Anghlywadwy. ] - y colegau, Cymwysterau Cymru, y Llywodraeth a phawb arall, ond yn enwedig y dysgwyr a'r athrawon yn yr ysgolion am yr holl gydweithio efo ni. So, diolch am hynna. Wrth edrych yn ôl ar y flwyddyn yma - yr haf - dwi'n credu, ar y cyfan, aeth pethau'n dda, yn enwedig o dan yr amgylchiadau. Y flaenoriaeth i ni oedd lles y bobl ifanc yma a gwneud yn siŵr fod ganddyn nhw'r cyfle i symud ymlaen at y cam nesaf yn eu haddysg neu i gyflogaeth. Roedd y drefn wnaeth ddigwydd ar gyfer yr haf yma yn un a gafodd ei dylunio ar y cyd efo'r design and delivery advisory group wnaeth gael ei sefydlu gan y Gweinidog addysg. Hoffwn i ddiolch iddyn nhw hefyd am eu holl gydweithio. Dwi'n credu bod hwnna wedi gweithio'n dda iawn, ac efallai fod hwnna'n rhoi rhyw syniadau i ni am ffyrdd o weithio ar gyfer y dyfodol hefyd sydd yn gallu elwa pawb. O dan yr amgylchiadau, dwi'n credu mai'r peth pwysig oedd bod yn hyblyg dros ben o safbwynt asesu, ac mi wnaethom ni wneud hynny. Yn anffodus, mae hwnna'n dod efo rhywfaint o anghysondeb ac yn gofyn cwestiynau ynglŷn â safonau ac ati, ond mae'n rhaid i ni gofio roedd hi'n sefyllfa anodd dros ben. Mae'n dal i fod yn sefyllfa anodd dros ben, a dwi'n hyderus ein bod ni wedi ymateb yn y ffordd orau o ran lles myfyrwyr a rhoi pob cyfle iddyn nhw. Dwi'n credu roedd yna rywfaint o gonsỳrn wrth bobl ifanc fod efallai gormod o asesu, yn enwedig ym mis Mai y flwyddyn yma, a dwi'n gwybod bod yr holl beth wedi dod â lot o waith ychwanegol i'r colegau a'r ysgolion, a gobeithio y gwnawn ni ddysgu o hwnna - rydym ni yn dysgu o hwnna - ac y bydd pobl yn gweld lles yn dod o hwnna o safbwynt 2022. Ac wedyn, y pwynt olaf wrthyf i, efallai, ydy dweud roedd yna hefyd ryw gonsỳrn ynglŷn â'r system apelio, ond, yn y diwedd, dwi'n credu gwnaeth y system weithio'n iawn ac, o'n safbwynt ni, dwi'n credu aeth pethau'n eithaf da dros y cyfnod yna, o'i gymharu â blynyddoedd o'r blaen o leiaf. So, dyna fy ymateb i i'r cwestiwn cyntaf.
