Education Minister promises students won’t get grades lower than AS-levels

Pupils' A-level grades in Wales won’t be lower this year than those they got at AS-level, Wales' Education minister Kirsty Williams has pledged.

Ms Williams made the announcement after England and Scotland changed their systems.

If a pupil gets a result on Thursday below their AS grade a new one will be issued automatically, she said.

“We need to be sure Welsh students are not disadvantaged."
