Big day today. Here's the most important things to note from GCSE results #GCSEResults2024 🧵
Simon Lock retweeted
Today's #GCSEResults revealed: the pass rates for English and maths have dropped and the gap between the top grades in private and state schools has increased #GCSEresults2024 #ResultsDay

Last year only 18% of post-16 students taking GSCE maths passed. The majority would have been resitting after failing the summer exam.

Check out this and lots more GCSE debate...
