Qualifications Wales said being clear on work that needs to be covered by year 10 and 12 learners will reassure pupils and their teachers.This summer's exams were cancelled and results will be based on grades set by teachers. The WJEC exam board will consult with teachers and lecturers next month before publishing details of how the qualifications will be adapted ahead of summer 2022.

Philip Blaker, chief executive of Qualifications Wales, said they were aware schools and colleges had to plan for their learners. "We remain hopeful that examinations can go ahead next summer on these adapted qualifications, but we will monitor the evolving situation and have alternative plans for assessment ready to be implemented if there are significant periods of disruption," he said.
