Students at Forth Valley College celebrated receiving their National and Higher qualification results on Tuesday 10 August, with the College maintaining its impressive recent success rate.
Despite the ongoing lockdown restrictions and remote learning study formats that students had to adhere to over the last year, the total pass success rates for all courses in 2020/21 (84%), was similar to the results for 2019/20 (86%), with both years well ahead of the 2018/19 rate of just 74%.
A total of 247 students presented for 20 different subjects at varying levels – including six Highers – and 208 passed.
As always, results day highlighted the wide range of exciting learning opportunities available at Forth Valley College and how young people can achieve success in many different ways. It was also an opportunity to promote the wide variety of pathways to success.
Dr Ken Thomson, Principal of Forth Valley College, said: “Once again it is great to see so many of our National and Higher qualification students achieving positive results, we are very proud of them all. But the fascinating thing is that everyone’s journey is different, whether it be a Foundation Apprenticeship, a Modern Apprenticeship, a school links programme such as SCOTS or a HNC, or National Level qualifications and Highers, pupils aged between 16-18 always have options and can achieve success in many different ways.
“We hope many of the secondary school pupils will find out about the wide range of courses and study routes we have on offer here at Forth Valley College so we can help make learning work for them.”
