Angry students have said an apology from Education Secretary Gavin Williamson over the A-levels results fiasco is “not good enough” and are demanding he resigns from government.
Mr Williamson told ITV News he is “sorry” to students after days of inaction over A-level results caused panic and confusion for thousands of them.
But despite a U-turn and an apology, dozens of students attended a protest in Leeds holding placards, many of which read “five days too late” and “Gavin get gone”.
James Fishwick, the 19-year-old history student who organised the protest, branded the education secretary a “failure” and urged him to step down.
Mr Williamson earlier suggested he did not plan to resign over the issue which Labour said has caused “chaos” for universities which will be “incredibly difficult” for the sector to fix.
