GCSE and A-level students in England will be allowed to use mock exam grades to apply for jobs and university, the government is set to announce.
Unions called on the British government to follow suit, with Labour warning that Boris Johnson risked ‘robbing a generation of young people of their future’.English students will now have the option to choose between moderated results and grades achieved in mocks that were held before schools were forced to close amid the pandemic.

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson is expected to make the announcement ahead of results being awarded on Thursday
