Ms Williams added: "Students in Wales, and prospective employers and universities across the UK, can be assured that their A-level grades reflect their work and externally assessed exams.
“I hope you get the grades you’d hoped for, and you can continue with your educational journey in the autumn.
"Although many of you will be pleased with your results and excited for your next step, if you didn’t get what you’d hoped, there’s plenty of options and advice on working Wales.
“Best of luck, and best wishes for the future.”
