Read our privacy policy A Ukrainian teenager who escaped the devastation of war in his homeland is celebrating “excellent” GCSE results after also earning the equivalent in his own country. Oles also took online exams and earned the Ukrainian Certificate of Secondary Education — the country’s equivalent to GCSEs – all while adapting to a new language, culture and educational system in the UK. Oles and Mila had relocated to Yorkshire through the UK’s Homes for Ukraine programme after initially seeking refuge in a rural village near Kyiv, then moving to Poland and later to the Czech Republic. It’s where I want to build my life and continue my education.” Oles was awarded a scholarship by BGS for his GCSE studies, with the assisted place later extended to cover his A-level education.
