The Ministry of Education is aiming to publicize the university entry requirements for the new academic year at the end of the upcoming week. Ministry sources report that relevant data will be examined over the weekend.
With student performance in this year’s exams having suffered, it seems rather likely that the entry requirements for many popular departments will drop compare to last year, especially for university departments in regional areas. On the contrary, departments that had low requirements may now require higher grades and exam results.
Aside from the exam difficulty – which always has a significant impact – the new regulation on student transfers may also greatly affect entry requirements. The capital controls that were introduced earlier in the summer may also have affected the department preferences registered by students.
