Statement from stem4 Founder and CEO, Dr. Nihara Krause MBE
When it comes to important moments in the education year, few carry that potential mixture of happiness and excitement or upset and anxiety as Exams Results Day. stem4 have annually provided young people with support on results day.
To provide this support, we started where we always do at stem4, by listening to what young people wanted help with. Blending our insights from young people, educational establishments, together with our new developments in social listening, we have created a series of blogs that cover everything from effective support for feelings of anxiety, to more complex issues such as how you tell people your results, and practical support on next steps. We hope the blogs help face the changes that inevitably arise post-results, be they joyous or disappointing, and provide young people with ideas and tips to be resilient for their futures.
Hold onto what you value in yourselves, remember you are not ‘your result’. We wish all young people, their families and educational establishments, every success, and for those disappointed, we hope we can help you to find the best way to move forward, there are always alternative routes to getting to your goals and ambitions.
