Rwy'n cydnabod bod ysgolion uwchradd wedi wynebu heriau penodol fel rheoli cymwysterau, sydd, mewn rhai achosion, wedi effeithio ar eu parodrwydd ar gyfer cyflwyno'r cwricwlwm. Rwy’n deall y pryderon hyn, ac wedi penderfynu darparu hyblygrwydd ychwanegol i ysgolion lle maent yn barnu bod arnynt ei angen. Yn 2022, gall ysgolion sy'n barod i gyflwyno'r cwricwlwm i Flwyddyn 7 wneud hynny, ond ni fydd hyn yn orfodol tan 2023, pryd y gellid ei gyflwyno i Flynyddoedd 7 ac 8 gyda'i gilydd.
I recognise that secondary schools have faced specific challenges such as managing qualifications, which, in some instances, have affected their readiness for curriculum delivery. I understand these concerns, and have taken the decision to provide some additional flexibility for schools where they judge that they need it. In 2022, schools which are ready to rollout the curriculum to Year 7 may do so, but this will not be mandatory until 2023, with rollout to Years 7 and 8 together.
