FF: Higher education fees will be frozen at current level

Fianna Fáil will spend an additional €100 million per year and freeze higher education fees at their current levels should it be elected, while reducing primary teacher-student ratios to 20:1, the party said.

At its education policy launch at party HQ in Dublin, Fianna Fáil’s education spokesman Thomas Byrne said the plan was based on “not what we want to do or all that we would like to do, but on what we think we can do with the money that’s available”.
