Will they use the same selection criteria like they used last year?

I read somewhere that all pupils who scored over 400 will go to national schools since only 7k got the marks and there are 23k places in national schools.

The issue is never national schools per say, its some specific national schools.

The computer program, written in any programming language, can help reduce the pupil/parent anxiety as both marks and school selections can be released simultaneously. Why do they have to wait for 3 weeks after the release?


Because schooling and selection of schools is political.

and also financial.

One more thing, my suggested selection method is based on PERFORMANCE as opposed to the current one that is PREFERENCE based. Despite a brighter kid missing his preferred choices, the computer program gives him the next BEST available school , despite not choosing that school, before program considers the next pupil on the rank list. The brighter pupil's INTENTION i.e. to go to any BEST AVAILABLE school he qualifies for, is honored.
Rank list is a list of all pupils sorted by their Adjusted Performance, starting from the highest to the lowest.
