(Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau)
Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio'r darpariaethau sy'n ymwneud â thargedau absenoldeb yn Rheoliadau Addysg (Perfformiad Ysgol a Thargedau Absenoldeb heb Awdurdod) (Cymru) 1999 ("Rheoliadau 1999").
Mae Rheoliad 2 o'r Rheoliadau hyn yn newid enw Rheoliadau 1999 i "The Education (School Performance and Absence Targets) (Wales) Regulations 1999" (Rheoliadau Addysg (Perfformiad Ysgol a Thargedau Absenoldeb) (Cymru) 1999) ac yn gwneud darpariaeth ar gyfer rheoliadau 7 ac 8 newydd yn Rheoliadau 1999. Mae'r rheoliadau newydd hyn yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i bob ysgol a gynhelir (ac eithrio ysgolion arbennig a sefydlir mewn ysbytai) osod targedau absenoldeb. Yn flaenorol, o dan Reoliadau 1999 nid oedd yn ofynnol ond i ysgolion a gynhelir ac sy'n darparu addysg uwchradd osod targedau absenoldeb.
