QQI will be sharing data with the Department of Justice and Equality, which is very important in regard to international students who require visas.This will be done in accordance with best practice.

The Senator asked about new schools and the fees that are charged, undercutting and if we will have good quality schools. That is the reason I am here today. The purpose of that International Education Mark is to ensure there is best practice in schools. They are the schools that will get that IEM. Fees are an issue for the providers and QQI does not set fees.
