'I just screamed when I saw them': GCSE results return to pre-Covid levels

The effect of the pandemic appears to have been squeezed out of GCSE results as 16-year-olds in England, Wales and Northern Ireland achieved grades more akin to levels seen before the coronavirus.

There were wide regional variations across England, with students in London powering ahead of pre-pandemic attainment – while top grades in Wales and Northern Ireland came down with a bump, compared with last year.

Somehow the results get better and better but people get dumber and employers more exasperated with the quality of graduates

Not worth screaming over.

They mean nothing in the grand scale of things.

What a story. They give out whatever grades they want. Evidence of nothing. Back in reality, the average person doesn't have the ability to pass exams from 40 years ago because of the decline in education standards.
