LONDON Aug 14: The England, Wales and Northern Ireland’s A-level and AS-level results, and A-level equivalent technical qualifications were published on Thursday morning. The Advanced Level, universally referred to as an A-Level, is a qualification offered by education institutions in the UK.
Although the results were good news to many, there is anger among schools, colleges and students, after nearly 40 per cent of A-level grades awarded on Thursday were lower than teachers’ predictions.
See below news about Malayalee students who have come out in flying colours.
