Stephen Twigg MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, congratulating those who received A-level results today, said:
“Congratulations to all those who have got the results they wanted today. Whether your final marks were what you were hoping for or not, we wish you every success for the future. It is great to see so many young people doing so well. Pupils getting their A-level results today spent 11 out of 13 years of their school education with a Labour Government.
“Most pupils getting results today will have made their subject choices in 2010. It is good to see that the number of young people taking core academic subjects like maths, sciences, geography and history has increased.
“While it is important to tackle grade inflation, even Michael Gove accepts that the increases in results over the last 15 years have been because standards have improved.
“These impressive results are thanks to better teaching, better school leadership, Labour's relentless focus on literacy and numeracy and record investment in schools. While exams must remain robust and challenging the Government must also ensure that this legacy is not undermined by reforms that are taking us in the wrong direction on standards.”
