The Education Thread

Good luck for people receiving A-Level results tomorrow!
 
My sister gave her A-levels this year and she got her result on the 14th. :danish :danish

Does your sister live in UK? I live in England pal, and I can confirm that results day here is definitely tomorrow
 
About 30,000 pupils in Northern Ireland will receive their A-level and AS results on Thursday morning.

Some will get A-level results online from 07:00 BST, but many are still expected to go to their schools to pick them up.

Pupils in Northern Ireland have outperformed their counterparts in England and Wales in recent years.

In 2017, for instance, A* or A grades were achieved in over three in 10 (30.4%) Northern Ireland entries.

However, there are expected to be slightly fewer A-Level entries this year due to a drop in the year 14 demographic.

The overall results for Northern Ireland will be available at 09:30.

Performance gap

Maths is expected to remain the most popular A-level subject.

There will be interest in whether boys close the performance gap on girls and if there has been a rise in entries in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects.

That has been the trend in recent years.

By contrast, subjects like history, psychology and sociology are expected to see a fall in entries.

There have been big changes to A-levels in England with reduced or no coursework in many subjects and exams alone determining results.

AS-levels also no longer count towards the final A-level mark in England.

That is not the case in Northern Ireland, where AS-level results still count towards the final A-level grade.

The most recent figures from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) show there has been a 5% fall in Northern Irish students applying to go to university this year.

Many pupils getting their grades will pursue other options, including apprenticeships, entry into further education, employment or a gap year.

Over three-quarters of Northern Ireland A-levels are taken through the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA).

The rest of the entries are through a variety of England and Welsh exam boards.

CCEA will operate an exams helpline on 028 9026 1260 from 07:00 on Thursday.

Universities, further education colleges and the careers service run by the Department for the Economy will also operate additional advice and help services.

IGCSE is aimed at people who want the qualification but don't want to attend school full time.... so you just pay and sit the exam. Were you home schooled?

If you are in UK, why don't you call up your local sixth form college and ask them directly.

All 3 A levels that you are planning to take are,as you would have been told already a very challenging. Firstly?make sure that you have at least A's at O level/IGCSE in all 3 subjects because if you dont the chance of you getting an A or B at A level is generally minimal. Look at the results of the schools and also the experience of the teachers teaching each subject carefully. I would urge you to also look at the pastoral care offered just in case you fall on to difficult times. Desis normally dont care for this area until they need help, but some places are quite literally exam factories and have little concern for the students welfare and take no interest in the person they are teaching and that is all well until something goes wrong and then you need support and nobody cares.
 
PHP:
CREATE VIEW product_variation_stock_view AS
            SELECT
                product_variations.product_id AS product_id,
                product_variations.id as product_variation_id,
                COALESCE(SUM(stocks.quantity) - COALESCE(SUM(product_variation_order.quantity), 0), 0) as stock,
                case when COALESCE(SUM(stocks.quantity) - COALESCE(SUM(product_variation_order.quantity), 0), 0) > 0
                    then true
                    else false
                end in_stock
            FROM product_variations
            LEFT JOIN (
                SELECT
                    stocks.product_variation_id as id,
                    SUM(stocks.quantity) as quantity
                FROM stocks
                GROUP BY stocks.product_variation_id
            ) AS stocks USING (id)
            LEFT JOIN (
                SELECT
                    product_variation_order.product_variation_id as id,
                    SUM(product_variation_order.quantity) as quantity
                FROM product_variation_order
                GROUP BY product_variation_order.product_variation_id
            ) AS product_variation_order USING (id)
            GROUP BY product_variations.id

Can someone familiar with MySQL explain this? :danish
