About 28,000 pupils across Northern Ireland are receiving their A-level and AS results today. They are the first group to receive their calculated grades, a system that was introduced some months ago in response to all exams being cancelled due to the pandemic. It has been reported, that over a third of estimated grades allocated by teachers to NI's A-level and AS level students were lowered in the final results. Susan chats to Brian Mooney, Editor of Education Matters Yearbook & Irish Times Columnist.
