PQ 3331
3331. Deputy Donna McGettigan asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science his plans to address the poor CAO points conversion rates for A-level students in Northern Ireland to have a fairer opportunity to access undergraduate courses in the south, considering that in order for students to achieve the maximum 625 points, they would need to do four A-levels, when most Northern Ireland students get their offers there based on three A-Levels; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
