A three pillar system will replace examinations for general qualifications in 2021 in Wales.
In November Education Minister Kirsty Williams announced that there would be no end of year exams for learners taking GCSEs, AS levels or A levels next year.
Speaking at the time Ms Williams confirmed that she would establish a Design and Delivery Advisory group that would support ‘wellbeing, fairness and progression’ for learners in 2021.
The group, chaired by Geraint Rees and made up of head teachers and college leaders nominated by regional consortia, ColegauCymru and local authorities, has now presented its proposals to the Minister after working closely with both Qualifications Wales and WJEC.
