English: Thank you very much, Siân, for your comments. We've had an independent review. You have quoted at length from its report. I do not feel that there is any need, or indeed any further help a further review at this time will be. What we need now is to ensure that the lessons of the Louise Casella report are learnt. If the Member was being fair, I'm sure she would acknowledge that already in the way in which we have handled this situation, both within this Government and without the Government, is reflective of the recommendations, first of all, in the initial report by Louise Casella's group, and in the subsequent full report. I'm very grateful to Louise and her team for the work that they have done. There are, as I said, valuable lessons to be learnt, which are already being enacted by myself and those that are working with us, to ensure that the awarding of qualifications this year does not cause the distress and difficulties that it did for learners and educators last year. It is very important that we make the distinction between how last year's grades were arrived at and how this year's grades were arrived at. Last year, the standardisation, as was pointed out in Louise's report, relied too heavily on an algorithm, to ensure that there was fairness across the system, and to try and mitigate the concerns that we will have to try and mitigate again this year, which are legitimate concerns about unintentional bias, about how this system potentially has equalities impacts, as was outlined in previous reviews of last year's centre-assessed grades. We need, now, to mitigate against that, and that is what everybody that is working on qualifications for this year is committed to doing.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Siân, am eich sylwadau. Rydym ni wedi cael adolygiad annibynnol. Rydych chi wedi dyfynnu'n helaeth o'i adroddiad. Nid wyf yn teimlo bod angen adolygiad pellach ar hyn o bryd, nac y byddai hynny yn wir o unrhyw gymorth. Yr hyn sydd ei angen arnom ni nawr yw sicrhau bod gwersi adroddiad Louise Casella yn cael eu dysgu. Pe bai'r Aelod yn bod yn deg, rwy'n siŵr y byddai'n cydnabod eisoes yn y ffordd yr ydym ni wedi ymdrin â'r sefyllfa hon, yn y Llywodraeth hon a'r tu allan i'r Llywodraeth, bod hynny yn adlewyrchu'r argymhellion, yn gyntaf oll, yn yr adroddiad cychwynnol gan grŵp Louise Casella, ac yn yr adroddiad llawn dilynol. Rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn i Louise a'i thîm am y gwaith y maen nhw wedi'i wneud. Fel y dywedais, mae gwersi gwerthfawr i'w dysgu, sydd eisoes yn cael eu gweithredu gennyf fi a'r rhai sy'n gweithio gyda ni, i sicrhau nad yw dyfarnu cymwysterau eleni yn achosi'r trallod a'r anawsterau a wnaeth i ddysgwyr ac addysgwyr y llynedd. Mae'n bwysig iawn ein bod yn gwahaniaethu rhwng sut y cyrhaeddwyd graddau'r llynedd a sut y cyrhaeddwyd graddau eleni. Y llynedd, roedd y safoni, fel y nodwyd yn adroddiad Louise, yn dibynnu'n ormodol ar algorithm, i sicrhau tegwch ar draws y system, ac i geisio lliniaru'r pryderon y bydd yn rhaid inni geisio eu lliniaru eto eleni, sy'n bryderon dilys am ragfarn anfwriadol, ynghylch sut y gallai'r system hon effeithio ar gydraddoldeb, fel yr amlinellwyd mewn adolygiadau blaenorol o'r graddau a aseswyd gan y canolfannau y llynedd. Mae angen inni, nawr, liniaru rhag hynny, a dyna y mae pawb sy'n gweithio ar gymwysterau ar gyfer eleni wedi ymrwymo i'w wneud.
