Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Tom Conlon:

In terms of institutions and programmes certainly it is a part of the onboarding of students in terms of the standards and quality required of them. They are educated in it but it does not stop the temptation, in particular where it is being driven home to people. As Dr. Murphy said we do not yet have good evidence in Ireland but we can see internationally that it is becoming a growing problem, in particular in English speaking countries.
