It is now emerging that almost 600,000 students who sat last year's Form Four national examinations cannot be accounted for, even after they qualified for placement to universities and colleges.

Of the 870,561 candidates who were eligible for universities and colleges places, only 285,167 students submitted applications for placement to universities and colleges.
