Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

North-South Student Enrolment in Tertiary Education: Discussion

Professor Ciar?n ? h?gartaigh:

The Deputy identified school presence. Cross-Border equivalence is the other element, which is for the universities to think about. We have committed to putting that on our agenda. The pinch point the Department could think about is how we encourage guidance counsellors in schools, and have a sectoral and not just institutional approach to that, which the Department and HEA could encourage.
