Paid work throughout the academic year has been damaging A Level students’ grades as they have significantly reduced motivation in lessons, new research suggests.
Good A Level grades are crucial if you want to go to university and land a gratifying career but balancing work and school has become a common concern as students on full time or nightshifts are missing opportunities to enhance their grades.
Statistics revealed a bleak outlook for A Level exam results for students who have been in full time and night shift paid work.
Studies revealed that A Level students with 100% attendance and no commitment to full time or night shift paid jobs throughout their academic year had very high grades compared to their peers in paid work.
Combining paid work and studies has also raised concern about students’ mental health: reports from UK academics show that excessive and unsocial hours of work sometimes lead to tiredness and depression among students.
