About 7,000 students across England may not receive their BTec level 2 results as planned on Thursday, an exam board has said.

Pearson said it was attempting to provide any missing results “as soon as possible” to the affected students.

It comes after Pearson apologised last Thursday for BTec level 3 students not receiving their grades as planned on the day A-level and T-level exam results were released.

Pearson said problems regarding “qualification criteria” were behind the further delays. In a statement, it said results for the 7,000 students who were at risk of not receiving their grades on time were delayed because they were “currently ineligible” and “did not meet the qualification criteria”.
