‘Beyond ecstatic’: UAE school students celebrate outstanding A-level results

Students in the UAE are celebrating outstanding A-level results after they began receiving their grades on Thursday morning.

School heads earlier said that this year's results were above the 2019 records when students last sat formal examinations.

They also highlight that the majority of students should be able to access their first choice of university.

Ashna Chaturvedi, who secured 4A* and is headed to pursue Law at Oxford, says, "I was beyond ecstatic to have received these results and, most importantly, confirmation of my place to read Law at the University of Oxford. Sitting our A-levels was never going to be easy, but to have done so despite the pandemic-related disruption is truly a feat that all of us should be proud of. A lot of hard work, dedication and sacrifice went into the past two years."

"These grades definitely would not have been possible without the unwavering support of my parents, my teachers who were always willing to go above and beyond to help us, and my friends who have made my sixth form experience so memorable. I am so proud of the achievements of our cohorts, and I wish everyone the very best in all our future endeavours."
