The National Party says University Entrance pass rates for 2020 were at serious risk of a dramatic fall because of Covid-19.
Education spokesperson Paul Goldsmith says the Qualifications Authority has admitted the rates would have "fallen off the cliff" without the granting of extra NCEA credits for students.

Goldsmith spoke to Corin Dann.
