EA join young people on AS & A-level results day

The Education Authority (EA) today joined with students as they received their AS and A-level results.

EA Chairperson, Barry Mulholland, visited Ashfield Boys’ High School, Belfast, with EA Assistant Director of Education, Kim Scott, in attendance at Regent House School, Newtownards.

Mr. Mulholland praised the hard work and determination of all young people across Northern Ireland receiving their results today:

“I would like to congratulate all the students receiving their AS, A-level and Equivalent Qualifications. This is a very important day for schools and for all the young people reaching this milestone in their educational journey. They should be incredibly proud of their hard work, commitment and determination.

“Parents, teachers, staff, and principals should also be recognised for the amazing support they have provided to students with their education in what has been another very challenging year.

“For those young people who did not achieve the grades they had hoped for, I encourage them to speak to their teachers to discuss all the options available, including the many fantastic opportunities open in further education, training or employment. Also, there are many sources of support and guidance available to help pupils make the right choices.

“I wish each and every young person the very best, whichever pathway they choose for their future.”
