Update on Diweddariad am Qualifications for gymwysterau ar gyfer y the new curriculum cwricwlwm newydd Welcome Croeso
Ein syniadau ar hyn o bryd Our current thinking • Beth rydym yn ei wybod yw bod TGAU yn fesur dibynadwy o gyflawniad sy’n mynnu lefel uchel o hyder y cyhoedd. Felly mae'n debygol y bydd cymwysterau TGAU yn bodoli o hyd ond bydd angen iddynt newid i adlewyrchu'r cwricwlwm newydd, ac mae'n bosibl y byddant yn edrych yn wahanol iawn i gymwysterau TGAU heddiw. Philip Blaker, Prif Weithredwr, Cymwysterau Cymru • GCSEs are a trusted measure of achievement that command a high level of public confidence. So it’s likely that GCSEs will still exist, but they will need to change to reflect the new curriculum, and may look quite different from today’s GCSEs. Philip Blaker, Chief Executive, Qualifications Wales

Beth fydd diben(ion) y cymwysterau newydd?
