And they should quite rightly celebrate that sense of pride and achievement having come through two years of disruption in the midst of the pandemic.

They have endured the trials and tribulations of grappling with remote learning and exam cancellations at a crucial crossroads in their lives.

Today’s warning on the front page serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted inequality that has only been widened by the Covid-19 pandemic.
