English: Thank you, Rhianon. It is really important, even in these most challenging of times, that we keep focus on learning core concepts within these subjects that children will be examined on. But it is clear that you cannot examine a child on content that they have not sat; it simply can't be done and it's not fair. This system allows schools to be able to make a judgment on work and course content that a child has been able to cover. And again, we will be giving further advice to schools to make sure that core content in qualifications is the focus of the work going forward. And schools were working very hard throughout the last term to do that and they continue to strive to do that now. But, clearly, core concepts in subjects is really important. We're also in early discussions with Welsh universities and further education colleges as to what we can do to potentially address any learning loss - so, working with our universities to establish pre-university courses that can be run remotely and digitally during the summer to make sure that everybody is up to speed with core concepts, which allows them to make sure that their passage into undergraduate study is a successful one, and, again, working with colleges and local schools to help pupils successfully transition perhaps from their local high school into their college with all of the requisite skills, or, again, a programme, above and beyond when that formal course has come to an end and grades have been submitted, that looks to keep children learning where at all possible to continue to develop their skills and key competencies as we go forward. Because that's what we need: qualifications awarded, yes, but also young people feeling confident about their next steps and feeling able to move on successfully to whatever it is they decide to do.
Welsh: Diolch, Rhianon. Mae'n bwysig iawn, hyd yn oed yn yr adegau mwyaf heriol hyn, ein bod yn parhau i ganolbwyntio ar ddysgu cysyniadau craidd yn y pynciau hyn y caiff y plant eu harholi arnynt. Ond mae'n amlwg na allwch chi arholi plentyn ar gynnwys nad yw wedi ei astudio; ni ellir gwneud hynny, ac nid yw'n deg. Mae'r system hon yn caniatáu i ysgolion allu llunio barn ar gynnwys gwaith a chwrs y mae plentyn wedi gallu ei astudio. Ac eto, byddwn yn rhoi cyngor pellach i ysgolion i sicrhau mai cynnwys craidd mewn cymwysterau yw canolbwynt y gwaith wrth symud ymlaen. Ac roedd ysgolion yn gweithio'n galed iawn drwy gydol y tymor diwethaf i wneud hynny ac maen nhw'n parhau i ymdrechu i wneud hynny nawr. Ond, yn amlwg, mae cysyniadau craidd mewn pynciau yn bwysig iawn. Rydym ni hefyd mewn trafodaethau cynnar gyda phrifysgolion a cholegau addysg bellach Cymru ynghylch yr hyn y gallwn ni ei wneud i fynd i'r afael o bosib ag unrhyw golled mewn dysgu - felly, gweithio gyda'n prifysgolion i sefydlu cyrsiau cyn-brifysgol y gellir eu cynnal o bell ac yn ddigidol yn ystod yr haf i sicrhau bod pawb yn cael yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am gysyniadau craidd, sy'n eu galluogi i sicrhau eu bod yn trosglwyddo yn llwyddiannus i astudiaethau israddedig, ac, unwaith eto, gweithio gyda cholegau ac ysgolion lleol i helpu disgyblion i bontio'n llwyddiannus efallai o'u hysgol uwchradd leol i'w coleg gyda'r holl sgiliau angenrheidiol, neu, unwaith eto, rhaglen, ar ôl i'r cwrs ffurfiol hwnnw ddod i ben a bod y graddau wedi'u cyflwyno, sy'n ceisio cadw plant i ddysgu lle y bo'n bosib o gwbl i barhau i ddatblygu eu sgiliau a'u cymwyseddau allweddol wrth inni symud ymlaen. Oherwydd dyna sydd ei angen arnom ni: dyfarnu cymwysterau, ie, ond hefyd cael pobl ifanc i deimlo'n hyderus ynghylch eu camau nesaf a theimlo y gallan nhw symud ymlaen yn llwyddiannus i beth bynnag y maen nhw'n penderfynu ei wneud.
