In Summer 2023 GCSE students in the United Kingdom had a pass rate (achieving a grade of C/4 or higher) of 68.2 percent, the lowest since 2019 but still a noticeable increase when compared with years prior to 2020. The Coronavirus pandemic, and closure of schools in the UK led to exams throughout the country being cancelled, with grades in 2020 and 2021 based on assessment by teachers and schools.
