Mr. Philip Sheridan:

Exactly, but it certainly needs to be introduced at a much earlier stage than it is now.

Senator Power referred to some of the interventions in her local area. We work solely with the Prison Service developing qualifications for many areas. One size does not fit all and one has to be in every area. Sometimes we talk about the national framework as if there are two frameworks, one for further education and one for higher education. There is actually one framework. One should be able to enter at any level, depending on the learner’s capabilities and capacities, and should stay on that level until he or she wants to get off.
