In a tweet this morning, the Minister for Further And Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris said: “I said that we would move mountains to ensure students who had errors in calculated grades were given the places they deserved. The CAO identified that 424 students required new offers. I am delighted that this morning all 424 have been offered a place this academic year.”
