    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if the Minister thinks that the amendment is harmless, I will just encourage her to let it pass, but I want to say that it is not harmless. I have actually given her a case of my niece, who got a straight “A” grade with very good qualifications, but she was pushed down several levels of prioritisation. She has been running all over universities because she did not get her first offer. She did not get the second offer either, which she qualifies for. She did not get the third or the fourth offers. So, she has been put to the seventh and eighth offers despite the fact that she scored a straight “A” grade. So, there must be a problem with the criteria being used by the Joint Admissions Board. So, my amendment is basically seeking to do what the Minister is saying – give the students’ qualifications and their listed priorities. If she does not qualify for priority one, let her go for priority two. If she does not qualify for priority two, let her go for priority three. Do not let her jump with a straight “A” grade to choice seven because that discourages students. If I get a straight “A” grade and I am looking for a good course, and then I find myself fishing around for courses I did not apply for, it would mean that there is no need for working hard in school."
