STUDENTS and teachers have been congratulated after another year of outstanding A-level results.
Assistant Education Minister Tracey Vallois said that Jersey could be proud of its students after early statistics showed that they had outperformed those in UK schools.
One in eight of this year’s A-level grades were A*s, and the 85% of Jersey grades at A* to C beat the UK’s 76%. Deputy Vallois said: ‘The results show how much hard work has been done this year by both the students and the teachers. They show a great improvement on last year and I wish the students the best in their chosen careers.
‘Jersey has determined and willing students and the results prove that. It is down to the individual, and many will push that one step further to achieve the results they need.’

Yeh well done given how underfunded our schools are and how deprived the kids are. As you know Jersey is one of the most deprived places in the British isles.
They are going to struggle to beat a 99% pass rate next year, unless more people pass than take part.

How come if Jersey is always reported as being better than the UK that States Vacancies etc are not allocated to Jersey Residents / Applicants but instead are awarded to UK residents as no one locally apparently has the suitable qualifications?

2.A Sorry but you are confusing the ability of our students with that of our decision making politicians ,which is a different thing entirely .

#2 Unless you study some certain subjects the only way to have a career in your chosen subject is to move to the UK (or elsewhere). You assume that all those who go onto University with these grades also do well at University and then return. Some won’t do well at University (it is a bigger leap now than ever before, academically speaking) and others will want a career in science, the arts, medicine etc. so won’t be able to return to Jersey until their priorities change.
