School principals want universities to stop offering places to students before they sit the HSC, saying it is an "appalling practice" that encourages pupils to slacken off during their exams and drags their classmates down with them.
Secondary Principals Council acting president Craig Petersen said pre-exam offers were an "appalling practice" and "we don't support it at all". While they might reduce students' stress, he said, they also caused some of them to lose focus. "[Universities] want to get the best students as quickly as they can, so they'll make the early offer to secure the enrolments," he said. "We've got no issue with early entry processes. What we don't want them doing is notifying the students until after the HSC exams."
