Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Michael Ryan:

I thank the Senator for his question. It is important we do not become too micro too soon and that we look at the overall needs of what keeps people well in third level education. We need to think about prevention as well as intervention and what are the self-management and resilience techniques we can build into the student population to keep them well. Having a bird's-eye view is important as well as identifying the holistic needs exactly.
