Students are never too old to learn

AGE is no barrier to third-level education as many retired people continue to discover the learning curve can still be fun.

More than 90 of the students registered at Waterford Institute of Technology are aged 60 or over, new data shows.

Among them are an 82-year-old; a 73-year-old; two 72-year-olds, a 71-year-old and no fewer than four 70-year-olds.
