UCU congratulates students and calls for an end to 'resit nightmare'

 'Congratulations to all students receiving their GCSEs and level 2 results today, and to the staff who have spent years teaching and supporting them. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, many students will be deemed to have failed their maths and English exams and be forced to retake them.

'This should be the last year that students are forced to endure the resit nightmare. Labour's curriculum and assessment review should begin by recognising student's diverse array of talents and focus on empowering students to study subjects they enjoy and enable them to thrive.'
