Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Tony Donohoe:

To clear up any misconception, we are not saying it should be totally students. This should be, as I said earlier, a three-legged stool. It should be the State because it benefits, students because they benefit, and businesses because they benefit. If we rely on one leg, the stool will fall over. We can debate the balance of contributions and get into the design of the system, but the principle should remain that the State, the individual and business contribute.
