DEC reveals slight fall in A*-C grades
Manx GCSE students are ahead of UK counterparts - according to the Manx government.
School Improvement advisor at the Department of Education and Children, Joel Smith, says pupils have performed well, but not as well as last year.
2016 was a record year for the DEC - with 60 per cent of students achieving A*- C grades, compared to 56.3 per cent this year.
Around 800 pupils sat exams in 50 subjects in May and June.
Mr Smith says there are reasons why there's a dip in the figures:
Time to 'focus on delivering' says MHK tipped to enter chief minister contest
Lifeboat cover to return to Douglas next year
Christian: 'I would be honoured to continue as health minister'
Port St Mary RNLI station 'saddened' by end of all-weather lifeboat operations
