“The majority of The Guernsey Institute’s full-time students are already positioned to move into full-time employment, or onto higher education, whether here, in the UK, or further afield. We are all extremely proud of their success and wish each of them the very best in whatever next steps they decide to take,” she said.
Education President Deputy Andrea Dudley-Owen added all students should be proud of their accomplishments in education whatever grades they found inside their envelopes this morning.
“From experience I can say that many families and students will have been nervous heading into today, as Level 3 results are a real milestone in the lives of many of our young people. On behalf of the Committee, I wish everyone receiving results today the very best in whatever they choose to do next in their lives, whether continuing their formal education or moving into a career,” she said.
“I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of the teachers and lecturers who have supported these students during their post-16 studies. Congratulations to all.”
