A new report on the funding of third-level education is “not what students need” and doesn’t go far enough in reducing costs, according to a student group.
The report, which has been broadly welcomed by industry stakeholders, made sweeping recommendations for the development of Technological Universities (TUs) and increased State supports in the sector, which has been underfunded since the last recession.
