Rwy’n gwybod nad yw fy mhenderfyniad i adfer mesurau Cyfnod Allweddol 4 yn seiliedig ar ddeilliannau cymwysterau ar lefel ysgol wedi cael croeso gan bawb. Y rhesymeg yw bod hwn yn drefniant dros dro yn ein taith tuag at ecosystem gwybodaeth fwy cyfannol, sy’n gyson ag ethos y cwricwlwm. Ac ni fydd yn berthnasol i ddysgwyr sy’n dysgu o dan y Cwricwlwm i Gymru. Roeddwn i’n awyddus i osgoi’r llwyth gwaith ychwanegol o gyflwyno cyfres arall o fesurau dros dro.
I know that my decision to reinstate Key stage 4 measures based on qualification outcomes at school level has not been universally welcomed. The rationale is that this is a temporary arrangement in our journey towards a more holistic information ecosystem, consistent with the ethos of the curriculum. And it will not, for reasons of timing, apply to learners learning under the Curriculum for Wales. So i was keen to avoid the additional workload of introducing yet another set of measures which would be interim.
