I came across this tweet extract from a facebook page. It made me wonder that maybe they didn't have a plan B, if this could have happened.
It is a known fact that when something is saved on a software, it supposed to be saved on a hardware too, just in case the soft copy gets corrupted. But it seems that they didn't have their exam results saved on a hardware, that caused their results to be lost forever.
A plan B is very important in life, every aspect of life, for that matter. If you are in school, it doesn't stop you from learning a skill, just in case the school doesn't work out at the end of the day, you will have something to fall back on.
One of my biggest issues, I had with my parents, is that they focused on taking me to school, without encouraging me to learn a skill. Now good jobs are hard to come by after school, and so if I had learnt a skill, I would have just fall back on it, since it is hard to get a good job.
Some people don't even perform very well in for them to qualify for a good job, and so they are stuck right now because they didn't have a plan b like a skill, to bail them out.
So plan B's are very important in life.
