The question is what do we do when the teachers are racist or discriminatory? This needs to be taken into account because many teachers downgrade PoC and Black students, putting limits on their potential because they aren’t one their “star pupils”.

[Travis @travisalabanza]

If there are any Black/brown #AlevelResults students who are interested in working in the arts and think a zoom with a working artist who doesn’t have a uni degree etc would be helpful. I have time & you can email me to set one up!

This #AlevelResults day it seems like a good time to stop and take stock of the inequality built into our education system, that led us to this point.

Metrics like grades perpetuate the myth that we live in a meritocracy. We don't. (1/5)

We are dedicating £5,000 to Black young people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds looking to appeal their A Level results and cannot do so due to financial implications. If you are/work with young people experiencing this, please contact us on [email protected].

Just spoke to a parent whose daughter was predicted AAA, got ABD and has now missed her UCL offer.

Family are very angry:

"All her friends from her state school have missed their offers, while her friends from the private school nearby have not. It feels like an injustice."

Turns out the impartial algorithm was just another name for class power.

the UCL deadline for confirmed revised grades is September 18 - any offer receive after this date will be deferred the the next academic year https://t.co/N5RG9OBdNL

check out the student guide linked below and chat to your school to help you through the appeals process!

[Ayo خليل @ayokhalil8]

Please do appeal your grades if you know you’ve been downgraded btw! The length of time the appeal decision will take is unclear but push nonetheless and things may change. And also look at what clearing has to offer! #AlevelResults
