Students have been sitting these exams for the first time since 2019 - and as schools return to pre-pandemic arrangements, grades are projected to fall both this year and next.
He went on to say that students missing the grades they were predicted or hoping for is nothing new, adding:"That's why it's really important that young people recognise and know that there are loads of options open to you.
"You may still get into the university that was your first choice, you may go through clearing or go to another university - that's why it's really important to have a Plan B. "You might go down a vocational route or an apprenticeship or you may even decide to go straight into the world of work."In other developments, there are fears that the release of results could be disrupted after AQA, the country's largest exam board, announced that a second walkout will be happening from 12-15 August.
Mr Quince accused unions of"scaremongering" and added:"I think young people have enough to worry about and be concerned about, ahead of examination results anyway. "To add this into the mix as a potential worry about whether their papers will be marked and their results will come through on time is totally unnecessary."A-level, AS-level and T-level results are due to be released on 18 August, while GCSE grades will emerge on 25 August.
