Mewn perthynas â chymwysterau Safon Uwch, mae fy rhagflaenydd eisoes wedi cyhoeddi ein hymrwymiad i ddiddymu asesiadau Ionawr ar ôl Ionawr 2014, gan gadw UG a Safon Uwch yn gymwysterau cysylltiedig a chan gyfyngu’r cyfleoedd i ailsefyll arholiad i un fesul modiwl. Ar hyn o bryd rydym wrthi’n gweithio ar fanylion y penderfyniadau hyn ac yn ymchwilio i’r graddau y gallai Llywodraeth Cymru gytuno ar rai o’r manylion ynghylch y cymwysterau UG a Safon Uwch diwygiedig gyda’u swyddogion cyfatebol yng Ngogledd Iwerddon. Mae hyn yn cynnwys pwysoliad cymharol elfennau UG ac A2 y cymwysterau lefel A diwygiedig.
In relation to A levels, my predecessor has already announced our commitment to abolishing January assessments after January 2014, keeping AS and A levels as coupled qualifications and limiting re-sits to one per module. We are currently working on the details of these decisions and exploring the extent to which the Welsh Government might be able to agree on some of the detail relating to the revised AS and A levels with colleagues in Northern Ireland. This includes the relative weighting of the AS and A2 components of reformed A levels.
