Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
North-South Enrolment in Tertiary Education: Discussion
Mr. Frank Jones:
I think we all did that. I mentioned that we are a part, as are our colleagues in the TUI, of the British and Irish group of teachers unions. For the first time this year, we took an opportunity with all our colleagues across Great Britain to have a look at the entry requirements into tertiary education, the differences that exist and the need for those differences. I know that is a major of focus of this committee. We all need to be talking to each other a lot more about this. We have made the barriers and we are making things a little bit more difficult than they need to be.
