1/n The A level fiasco is absolutely heartbreaking to watch unfold. So if you have made it this far in your education, despite a system that’s meant to fail the underprivileged, you are more likely to have received a kick in the teeth by this Tory government. #alevel2020
2/n Let’s be absolutely clear: circa 40% of students’ A level results have been downgraded based on an algorithm that takes into account average exam centre results from previous years! https://www.theguardian.com/education/live/2020/aug/13/a-level-results-day-2020-live-students-teachers-government-ucas-mock-exams-triple-lock-nick-gibb
3/n Let that sink in. What does this mean for a Sixth Form or college in a disadvantaged area? And how does this compare to a private school/college who is bound to have higher average exam centre result over the years? #AlevelResults #alevels2020
4/n And this three grade lock system that allows you to appeal your grades if they are lower than your mocks is not a solution. A) there is not enough info out there yet. B) students from disadvantaged backgrounds usually have lower predictions! #alevels2020
5/n Don’t even come at me with the option of re-taking exams In September! So after over 6 months of no study, students are expected to take exams in September and somehow this is fair? #alevelresults2020 #alevels2020
6/n Has this Tory government even considered the mental health of these young adults and how this entire a level fiasco is not only jeopardising their future, but also their well-being? I feel disgusted! #alevels2020
7/n My message to the young people, the future of our country: I am sorry this Tory government has let you down. It’s not acceptable. Fight back! https://action.labour.org.uk/page/s/a-level-results?utm_source=bsd&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alfi40&source=20200813_alfi40&subsource=bsd_email
8/n Get onto #clearing to get yourself a uni place. I for one got my place through clearing. PS I have no A Levels either! Don’t let this rigged system tell you, you are not good enough! You are! #alevels2020
9/n I’m dreading next week’s #gcses2020 results. My daughter is one of those anxious kids awaiting the GCSE results!
