00:00So as a government we are absolutely committed to ensuring every young person
00:04gets the opportunities no matter where they live, no matter the background they
00:08come from and we know that is a big task but it's one that we are committed to
00:12delivering on. We've seen the results today and the results last week and they
00:18are not spread evenly across the country but I think we have to praise this
00:22cohort of young people who have overcome enormous challenges over the last
00:26journey that they've been on in their secondary education and really recognise
00:31the achievements of both them and the teachers and schools that have supported
00:34them through it.
