‘A’ Level results received by students in Gibraltar are in a number of cases graded below that predicted by their teachers as submitted to the Examination Boards. The GSD says that information received is that there are cases where pupils have been awarded two grades below their teachers’ predictions and as per their official recommendations to the Examination Board.

They add: There is an established process through which schools can appeal to the examination boards in respect of grades awarded to individual students. Therefore, the GSD offers its full support to local schools who, after careful consideration of grades awarded to their pupils, should subsequently commence appeal procedures.

Edwin Reyes, GSD spokesman for education said: “It is only fair that students be awarded the grades they have meticulously worked hard for and deserve, more so as this could have an adverse effect in respect of admissions into Universities and Degree Courses of a student’s preferred choice.”
