Third Level Education
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-09
============================================================

Thomas Gould (SF), Cork North-Central

In light of recent high figures of unemployment, I ask the Minister of State his plans to incentivise young people typically excluded from higher education due to socioeconomic status to engage in education past school. Covid-19 has shone a serious light on the need to get young people into higher education to improve their chances of employment and the quality of that employment and to break the cycle of poverty.
