Student Support Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-20
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

Their institution is the first port of call, probably the access office. I am pleased that the public health advice allows us not to return to the situation that pertained for higher education in March. Education will overwhelmingly be done online, and there is no disputing that, but we have a flexibility in terms of vulnerable learners and people who may have issues accessing or learning at home for a variety of reasons that we need not get into because that is people's own personal, private business. There is flexibility to engage. In the first instance, students should engage directly with their institution and I would be more than happy to engage offline with any individual examples the Deputy has to try to assist.
