Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Regulation of the English Language Sector: Discussion
Mr. Brian Hearne:
ILEP, in its current form, is very confusing and difficult to navigate, particularly for people for whom English is not their first language. The IEM, when it is introduced, needs to be clearly understood by education providers and international students. I echo what my colleague Ms Harmon said. If the rules are not being complied with, how do we know that the English-language schools are going to comply with the regulations when the IEM is introduced?
