Daily Podcast | A-levels: Is the uni intake of 2023 'the unluckiest year'?

Students waiting for their A-level results this year are the "unluckiest cohort" in recent years, according to one education expert.

Pandemic disruption, rising grade boundaries, and a larger-than-average number of people applying for university places have all placed pressure on A-level grades.

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Grace Brookes, who picks up her A-level results on Thursday, about the challenges she's faced since the pandemic.

The vice-chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University explains the pressures on universities themselves, and Professor of Social Mobility, Lee Elliot Major explains why he believes the 2023 intake is the unluckiest in a generation.
