As many as 1,000 more students could join medical and dentistry courses in England after exams cancelled
The government has been forced to fund hundreds of extra places on medical and dental courses at universities in England, as rampant grade inflation unleashed by cancelling exams has meant unexpectedly high numbers of students qualified.
The Department for Education (DfE) announced that as many as 1,000 extra places at medical and dental schools could be added this year because of the huge increase in applications and universities reporting historically high levels of A-level grades.
