Norma Foley: Colleges can charge students full €3k in fees

Norma Foley: Third-level institutions can charge up to €3,000 even in blended learning scenarios.

Third-level colleges will be able to charge the full €3,000 in fees to their students even if they severely restrict access to campus and force them to stay at home, Education Minister Norma Foley has said.

Ms Foley has been called on by the Opposition to make clear that where so-called 'blended learning' circumstances will operate that a reduced fee would apply.
