Jeremy Corbyn praised student protestors and pressure from teaching unions on Monday for pushing Westminster into a dramatic U-turn over the A-level exam process.
The former Labour leader gave a message of solidarity on Twitter to everyone who took part in protests and organisation in a tweet.
Twitter was split over the issue by the Islington North MP, with some seconding his support and praise for the students.
Others called on the Tory government, which won an 80-seat majority in the last election against Corbyn as opposition leader, to resign.
Some referenced the disparity between the grades of those who attended state schools, and those at private schools who saw their results increase.
There were certain users who took a more cynical approach, saying that "1000 angry teenagers" had been more effective than the Labour Party.
And some others voiced their opposition to the U-turn, saying that it gives this years graduates an "unfair advantage" or claimed it shows the current government listens to public criticism.
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson was forced to make a massive backtrack on Monday which will led to thousands of A-level students in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland be able to use their original predict grade.
The Prime Minister and Education Secretary had previously supported the “robust” algorithm system, which saw nearly 40 per cent of pupils' marks reduced from teachers' predictions.
After widespread criticism from students and headteachers as well as complaints from Tory MPs, grades will now be based on the original assessments.
