Ms Williams added: "I accept that learners wanted and needed more clarity, and I believe this achieves that.
“Qualification Wales and the WJEC will share the full details, but appeals can now be made where there is evidence of internal assessments that has been judged by the school or college to be at a higher grade than the grade they have been awarded.
“There is a guarantee that no-one will receive a lower grade after appeal and all appeals are free.”
