There seems to be an increasing demand for students to go to university and they must obtain an A or A*. I think this is causing a huge strain on the mental health of kids as they are made to feel that if they are not academically gifted they are a second class person.

I have never been asked to show my qualifications to a single job I have been offered so what is the point of them? I know you will learn a subject but is a qualification gained 20 years ago (for older generation) worth the paper it’s written on? I think not unless you are using it every day and keeping up with refresher courses.

Stop this pressure being placed on young people and help those that are not academically gifted
