Universities will suspend handing out places to HSC students until September after more than 43,000 early entry offers were made to pupils last year before they sat their final exams
.
. While some principals say the offers – which in some cases are made before mid-year trial exams – help ease the stress of high-stakes tests, others warn it means students do not apply themselves as much as they might have in the last months of school. “Protecting the integrity of the HSC is critical and early offer programs must be justifiable and transparent,” Glover said. “We also agree that student wellbeing should be a major consideration when providing early offer programs.
Last year, Charles Sturt University made early offers from May, and ACU from July. Western Sydney University and the University of Canberra made early offers from August. “I don’t think easing stress for students is a reason to make early offers. Moving it to September will at least mean students keep working hard for trial exams.”
