Missed classes, assessment at risk and harder accommodation: students placed in the 2nd phase have never arrived at university this late

Delays in the first phase of national exam grading and the creation of a special exam period in September pushed back the higher education academic calendar. Students placed in the 2nd phase are now starting weeks behind, facing potential difficulties with catch-up material, pre-formed project groups, and risks to their assessment periods. The Ministry of Education has stated that each university is responsible for deciding how to support these late-arriving students.
