The Minister referred to part-time student funding. I know he has an interest in this issue. Unfortunately, many students cannot access this funding. With the rapid pace of technological change, however, we will all be required to upskill and reskill and most of those who are in employment will have to do so on a part-time basis. There are very good initiatives such as Springboard+ but there will be a need for wider provision. What funding measures can the Minister put in place to support that learning but also for the individual learner?
