The 2024 A-level results showed a rise in top grades and ongoing regional disparities,
00:09
reflecting broader educational inequalities that extend beyond academics. While 76% of students
00:17
secured A-star to C-grades, families across the UK are also grappling with increasing costs of
00:24
mandatory school uniforms, an issue particularly pressing in less affluent areas. These financial
00:32
pressures can exacerbate existing inequalities, making it harder for students from disadvantaged
00:38
backgrounds to focus solely on their studies. The high cost of school uniform adds another barrier
00:44
to educational inequality, emphasising the need for more accessible affordable options to ensure
00:51
all students have an equal chance to succeed academically. Addressing these disparities
00:57
requires not only educational reforms but also policies that can alleviate the financial burden
01:03
on families.
