Back to school: An attempted suicide of a student in Surrey, UK, linked to A Level results last August, and a subtle yet sudden change of course policy as the UK decides to switch from traditional on-campus education to an optional semi or total online course for second year students, without their unanimous consent, has prompted The Bridge Magazine to analyse how the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the fairness of exams this year as well as the rate of discrepancies in schools and universities worldwide.

A youth ended up in Accident and Emergency in a Surrey hospital, fighting for their life after finding out they have no option left for the next academic year due to their A Levels failure.
The hospital and the youth identity has been held for data protection.
The recent pandemic and the UK Love Island reality TV cancellation didn’t help the youth who were eager to grab an alternative opportunity rather than University. It means for the next decade, to impress recruiters, and advertisers, young people need a bit more than skimpy bikinis, V neck tops and dresses, leaving very little to the imagination, eyelashes and hair extensions.
According to research from the University of Birmingham and the University of Nottingham,
there have been some trivial discrepancies in students’ experiences of taking A-levels this year.
The survey reported how just 21% of students who took the survey suggested they were happy exams were cancelled, while more than twice this number (46%) would have preferred to sit their exams and 33% of students were undecided.
On the other hand, after speaking to many students from various universities in London with regards to the online option, many were unhappy. The subtle yet sudden switch from on-campus modules to online modules for some second year university
students was deemed unfair and unethical by our editorial.
Apprenticeships and further education remain the main options for today’s youth to distinguish themselves.
Below are the seven pieces of advice to students, parents, guardians, teachers’ scholars and governments for a successful academic year 2020 / 2021 and onwards.
According to the Cameroonian Presidency Press Office spokesperson,
“Resuming school is effective in the North-West and South-West Regions where our brave army has reduced the secessionist inclinations to their simplest expression. The table-benches are also a gift from BIR as you can see. It is a Republican and citizen army which works alongside and with the populations. The soldiers are on all fronts in these regions, they are reconstructing everything that was destroyed by the secessionist terrorists, they are teachers and doctors, etc.”
