Last year, my friends and I decided to stop going on holidays to countries we have no cultural connection to, and visit each other’s home countries. First, my Bengali friend took us Bangladesh 🇧🇩

I'm not complaining cos I met my offer but ik ppl who have missed offers for top unis and easily would've met the grade requirements but they haven't because they don't attend selective/private schools. This years results reflect income, not outcome.

Student who go to poorer school. I got A*AB which I'm very happy about but the B was in history. This year I've only got A*/As in mock and my teacher predicted me an A* but I was downgraded by the gov because my school hasn't had an A in history in the last three years. Again...

The gov has been forced to make the U-Turn! However, we should never have been in this position. I spoke to some friends for @VICEUK about their #ALevelsResults . Native Spanish speakers getting B's in Spanish, A* grades downgraded to D's... It was shocking! Have a read here👇🏽
