My Department does not undertake such activities. The national International Education Strategy – outlined in Irish Educated, Globally Connected: An International Education Strategy for Ireland, 2016-2020 – is under the direction of the Minister for Education and Skills. Furthermore, the Department of Education and Skills has informed my officials that it does not provide supports for second level schools seeking to attract international students. However, our Mission Network is always ready to guide and assist those seeking to promote their activities abroad.
