Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Tim Conlon:

Not as of yet, because we are only collecting the data for the past three years. Now we can look at the data and use evidence to inform policy. We can see the make-up of the student cohort in a particular programme and where they are coming from, and we can ask the institutions what they are doing to address the challenge and to change the balance.
