Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Higher Education Funding: Discussion (Resumed)
5:40 pm
Dr. Aedín Doris:
Initially when the ICLs were introduced in the UK, part-time students were not covered and that was a big problem. That was the reason the numbers collapsed. Part-time students are included now but they still have not got it right as it does not allow for modular courses. I completely agree that coverage for part-time students needs to be very carefully looked at because we do not want to discourage that.
