Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Letterkenny Institute of Technology: Chairperson Designate

3:30 pm

Mr. Fintan Moloney:

It is not something on which we are strong. Institute of Technology Sligo is much stronger with regard to online courses. Our part-time courses that feed in through the education and training board are very strong. Online is an area we must improve. It is similar to the other matrices involved in achieving technical university status, in terms of the 4% of students moving to masters from research. We are on that road but we are certainly not there yet. With regard to 90% of full-time academic staff being at masters level or higher, we are still on the road. There will be analysis by the end of this month on exactly where we are and then we will see where we go from there. Planning will be required.
