‘I’m running on one hour’s sleep, I’m nervous but also excited.’
A room full of nerves and dreams at Central Saint Michael’s @sandwellcollege as they wait for their A Level results this morning.
Hundreds of thousands of students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are getting their A-level, T-level and BTec National results this morning. More than a quarter of A-level entrants are expected to score top grades.
UCAS is predicting a record number of 18-year-olds will get their first choice of university, even if they narrowly miss their grades.
@NityaGRajan reports.

Deaf awareness and accessible communication are not optional — they're essential for deaf children.
We stand with @RNID and @SignHealth in calling for an urgent reform to the NHS Accessible Information Standard.
Our latest report, with @SignHealth, reveals shocking failures in the NHS affecting over 7 million adults across the UK who are deaf or have hearing loss.
We want governments, NHS organisations, GPs and other NHS services to take action.
Read the report: bit.ly/42r59ru
ALT 7 millions adults across the UK are affected by the healthcare failings of the NHS.
ALT 69% of people say that they have never been asked about their communication needs.
ALT 25% of people say that they are not able to contact their GP in an accessible way, rising to 49% of BSL users.
ALT Only 56% of people say that they leave their NHS appointments having understood the information that they were given about their health.

We all understand that public budgets are tight, but hard to see how government can deliver growth or achieve any of its other missions unless it invests in the education and skills of its people.
