Thousands of final-year students have begun sitting their end-of-year exams across New South Wales, with tough new COVID measures in place.


Temperature checks and seat distances were introduced to protect students in a year unique to the 2020 class.

2020 has been a year of distraction for most students, from distance learning to the cancellation of annual events, such as formal parties and year-end celebrations.

Some experts have serious concerns about the repercussions of months of home schooling, especially for those with conditions such as autism.

And there are also concerns that the 2020 batch will enter a tough job market and be the first to apply to enter university after the higher education sector has undergone dramatic changes.
