Congratulations to those receiving #ALevelResults2019 says @AngelaRayner

Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, commending students on the publication of their A-Level results, said:

“Congratulations to everyone receiving their A-Level results today.

“And thank you to parents and carers, education leaders and teachers for their hard work in supporting young people through their education.

“We need to give more support to our students, so Labour will abolish predicted grades and implement post-qualification admissions.

“This will allow those studying to make informed choices, and reduce the stress of the transition to higher education.

“Students should be proud of what they have achieved today, and we are proud of them.”

Labour’s radical policies for higher education include:

·        Building a National Education Service to make lifelong learning a reality by giving everyone the opportunity to access education throughout their lives, which is free at the point of use. 

·        Labour will reintroduce maintenance grants for university students, and we will abolish university tuition fees.

·         Restore the Education Maintenance Allowance for 16 to 18-year-olds from lower  and middle income backgrounds.
