Marks unaffected by curriculum changes
The Island's GCSE students can be proud of their work, following a record-breaking set of grades yesterday.
The view of the Department of Education and Children's school improvement adviser, Joel Smith.
Sixty per cent of the GCSE students from the Island's five state secondary schools this year achieved five A* - C grades (including English and Maths) for the first time.
Other key figures were in line with previous years.
Mr Smith says it's pleasing these results have been achieved against a backdrop of upheaval, which has seen significant changes to the curriculum and exam system:
Missed opportunity in inmate's care, inquest finds
Seven arrests made as part of King Gaming fraud and money laundering investigation
Motorists urged to avoid Cooil Road following RTC
Probation for man caught with knife at Sea Terminal
Warning after tea towel tumble dryer fire
Calls for Sarah's Law on Isle of Man
