Connect Media Release, Results Day, 8 August 2023
Patrick McGlinchey, Executive Director of parents’ organisation, Connect said:
“The team at Connect congratulates students, families, and school staff on today’s SQA results. The results are the culmination of years of commitment and effort from all involved, and today we celebrate that shared endeavour. We also congratulate the parents and carers who supported and encouraged their young people through their learning and qualifications.
The last few years have been difficult for many because of the impacts of COVID-19; in this context, each young person’s achievements are even more remarkable.
As young people prepare for their next steps, we wish them all the best, whatever their choices and pathways.
Young people, families, and school staff have shown great resilience and determination during the COVID pandemic, coping with unprecedented pressures and challenges. We congratulate them on all their efforts and achievements.”
