Drop In NI Top Grades As Students Receive A-Level Results
The percentage of NI students receiving A* and A grades at AS and A-level has fallen compared to last year.
Approximately 37.5% of pupils received A* or A grades at A-level, down from 44% in 2022, according to provisional figures published by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JQC).
However, the results are higher than pre-pandemic years.
The provisional A-level results in NI showed that 98.8% of students achieved A*-E grade.
Chief Executive of CCEA Gerry Campbell said: "These young people are to be praised and admired for the resilience and hard work they have demonstrated throughout their studies.
"I would also like to thank and pay tribute to Northern Ireland’s school leaders, teachers and lecturers for the support, guidance and dedication that they provided for their students over the last year.
"In addition, I want to recognise the valuable and important work that examiners and moderators have carried out this year to enable students to get their results.
"On behalf of everyone at CCEA, I wish all students the very best for the next steps in their journey."
