Forth Valley College has seen an impressive increase in success rates for Results Day 2020.
Figures show that 86% of students studying National 4/5s, Highers and Skills for Work programmes have successfully achieved their qualification – an increase of 12% from 74% in 2018/2019.
Despite a four month lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic, hundreds of dedicated and committed students managed to work hard at home and online to complete their courses and are now celebrating the positive results.
Academically the enforced switch from 'Face to Face' teaching on 17 March – when the College closed - to online learning took a great effort but the college team rose seamlessly to the challenge.
Dr Ken Thomson, Principal of Forth Valley College, said: “It is just fantastic to see so many students waking up to positive results today. It is testament to all their hard work, flexibility and determination that they have reached this point and it should fill them with so much confidence, that they can adapt to anything, as they take their next steps.
“It has to be said that I am also very proud of all my staff who have worked tirelessly, to support our students during this challenging period.
“Now more than ever, as we emerge from lockdown and one of the most difficult periods society has faced in living memory, we are eager to make learning work for the people of Forth Valley and Scotland as a whole to help with our economic, educational and communal recovery.”
