Following the government U-turn on exam results, students staged a protest outside 10 Downing Street in London, UK, demanding Justice For Education, and the sacking of Gavin Williamson.

Students and teachers have continued to keep protesting outside Downing Street over this year’s A-level results which were lowered in a system used to decide grades after exams were cancelled.

In the video, three students Stephanie, Chris and Elizabeth, passionately speak to the crowd using a megaphone to chant, 'Get Gav Gone', referring to Gavin Williamson, the British Conservative politician serving as Secretary of State for Education and highlighting theirs and other students issues!, and "we want to go to School, we want to go to UNI". And, "We are the system, we are going to beat the system, because we are better than them", referring to the Tory government.

They are frustrated with the erratic grading by the exam board Pearson, which administers BTEC (Business and Technology Education Council) as an equivalent to A-levels, as well as students being downgraded from their teacher-assessed grades.
