Higher-education grant system to be reviewed

Higher Education Minister Simon Harris said the review was needed because the grant system 'doesn't understand how we live and study in Ireland'.

The Susi higher education grant will undergo a comprehensive review, the Minister for Higher Education has announced.

Simon Harris said on Monday that while the grant scheme, which awards funding of over €357m to about 70,000 third-level students, had served the country well, it needed to be overhauled.
