The Government's decided against making university entrance harder in its tertiary education shake-up.
Universities Minister Shane Reti recently announced a package of initiatives to modernise the sector.
Reti's refresh only accepts 23 of 63 recommendations made by the University Advisory Group.
The group's leader, Sir Peter Gluckman, says they recommended changing up entry requirements, as it would ensure quality.
"We're trying to make sure that we don't see degree inflation - and actually have degrees that maintain New Zealand's high quality in standards globally."
