A-level results: Sunak owes students an apology 

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to news that A-level results have seen the biggest drop on record, Liberal Democrat Education spokesperson Munira Wilson MP said: 

“Congratulations to all those students who received their results today, whether that was A Levels, AS Levels, T Levels or BTecs. For many the exams they took were the first formal exams they have ever sat and they also endured the full brunt of the pandemic on their education.  

“While every single student should be immensely proud of the results they have received today, there are thousands who will have missed out on the grades they hoped for.

"To those students, Rishi Sunak must apologise for the 28 million days of lost learning during the pandemic and for his refusal to invest in COVID catch-up programmes.

"No child should be left behind or forced to miss out on a university place because of this Government’s incompetence.”
