A-Level results day arrives for thousands of students

Students across the country will receive their eagerly anticipated A-Level results today. The Department for Education estimates that close to 60,000 18-year-olds in England will not receive grades because they have dropped out of education and training. Official data, released in May, showed the number of young people aged between 16 to 24, neither working or in training surpassed one million for the first time since 2013. Ahead of results day, Education Secretary Lucy Powell said: “My priority is making sure every young person has the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive in the jobs of the future. “That’s why we’re giving technical education the respect it deserves by rolling out new V Levels to go alongside A Levels, introducing brilliant routes into the careers of the future from age 14, and fully funding apprenticeship training for under-25s.” Follow The i Paper’s live blog for the latest updates.
