This is what I would do with university admissions if the plan is to revert to teacher-predicted grades were I in government (there are legal issues but I think every potential solution has legal issues?) (1/4)
1. Lift cap on admissions for 2020 and allow universities to determine their own intake numbers.

2. Ask most selective/over subscribed unis to prioritise young people from disadvantaged backgrounds for entry based on teacher-predicted grades. (2/4)
3. Ask them to allocate remaining places for this year by lottery. Those unsuccessful in lottery can opt to defer or go to insurance offer.

4. Fully compensate those less selective unis that as a result can’t fill places. Expensive but fair. (3/4)
Sure there’s lots of practical issues with this... but I think there are with any resolution. Let’s see what govt say about this at 4pm. My fear is nothing (4/4)
