The Government has announced a new initiative to alleviate fees for part-time students in Third Level public institutions who have not previously pursued a Third Level qualification.
This initiative is "part of the Government's strategy to improve the skills of the workface and boost competitiveness". It will be interesting to see if the number of part-time students at third level increases in coming years.
Maybe some school-leavers will now decide to attend third-level courses on a part-time basis instead of enrolling in full-time courses (and working in paid employment on a part-time basis)?
The Government has also commissioned research into the impact on the economy of employment agencies.
