Cross-Border Co-operation in Education: Discussion

12:40 pm

Dr. Anne Taheny:

Perhaps I could address the question on nurse education and its potential. I am happy to report that preliminary discussions are already under way between the heads of the schools of nursing both in St. Angela's College and in the University of Ulster. The memorandum of understanding as outlined earlier is step one in regard to what can develop into a much greater collaboration between our two institutions. We are paving the way for future development of collaborations across a number of areas, including nurse education.
