Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Future of Higher Education: Discussion

1:00 pm

Mr. Ned Costello:

I thank Dr. Larkin and Mr. Zhang for the work they are doing on the project. It is an independent project and not an IUA project but, hopefully, it will lead to the start of a conversation about higher education as an investment rather than as a cost in order that when we discuss the cost, we look at it in return on investment terms. It tends to be talked about as a cost on the State or a cost on the individual. The project is hugely valuable in that regard.
