Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Financial Supports for Tertiary Level Students: Discussion

12:05 pm

Mr. Keith Moynes:

Undoubtedly. The more that can be done to reach out and support students, the more that can be done to understand the reasons people struggle in institutions. I am not critical of the institutions, they do a considerable amount of work already. This is not a critique. However, continuously getting more information to understand the risk profile of why people drop out and the reasons for that will help the institutions. It will also help us with regard to creating public policy to tailor interventions.
