David Willetts comments on UCAS Admissions Process Review findings
Universities and Science Minister David Willetts commenting on the UCAS Admissions Process Review findings and recommendations said: “The changes UCAS propose to the admissions process will greatly improve the information and support available to applicants, allowing potential students to make more informed life changing decisions about their future.
“In particular, the proposals to replace clearing with a fairer and better managed process mark a significant change to the most fraught part of the applications cycle and will be a very welcome innovation for applicants. I have seen at first hand how pressured and stressful this part of the process is for all concerned.”
