ITV Wales reporter Ellie Pitt explains what the new system means for students
Students sitting their GCSEs, AS levels or A levels will now have grades awarded to them by their teachers.
The Centre Determined Grades will be based on a range of work including mock exams.
However the Education Minister, Kirsty Williams, said Welsh Government had now revisited that approach because of the worsening situation with Covid-19.
Ms Williams said the new arrangements put trust in teachers’ and lecturers’ knowledge of their pupils work.
In November, Welsh Government announced that summer 2021 exams would be cancelled for all learners sitting their GCSEs, AS levels or A levels. These were set to be replaced with non-examination assessments, internal assessments and assessments that are externally set and marked.
