I would want the current government to sack the current education secretary due to his woeful planning ahead of A-level results.

The vast majority of students sitting their A-level results around the country have been effected by the education secretaries woeful and inconsistent planning that has been changed last minute several times leading to confusion among students and teachers and many people missing out on their first choice universities crushing their dreams.
