Commenting on A-Level Results Day, Welsh Conservative Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Education, Natasha Asghar MS, said:
“Teachers, support staff, pupils and parents have all worked incredibly hard, but it’s clear that the Welsh Labour Government is holding Wales back.
“It is a bitter disappointment for Wales that, under Labour, results here have fallen while elsewhere in the UK, the numbers achieving top A-level grades have increased.
“After 26 years of Labour, enabled and propped up by Plaid, it’s clear that fewer Welsh pupils are able to realise their potential. Only the Welsh Conservatives can be trusted to fix our education system, with a focus on academic rigour and a renewed discipline drive.”
