Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

North-South Student Mobility: Discussion

Mr. Lewis Purser:

Yes. I do not have the exact data for the progression rates from Northern Ireland. There is already a much lower completion rate of A-levels in Northern Ireland, which Professor Ó hÓgartaigh referred to. We have a very high completion rate here of upper secondary. The progression rate from second to third level, or at least to higher education, is significantly lower in the North than here.
