- Barriers to Access in Higher Education0.22 MB
Despite the numerous well‐known problems and weaknesses that bedevil our primary and secondary education systems, there is generally a steady increase in the number of young people matriculating with marks that allow them to apply for a place in a tertiary institution. Unfortunately, for many of these hard‐working learners, qualifying for university admission is not enough; they face additional challenges, some of which were discussed at a recent roundtable discussion, hosted by the Catholic Parliamentary Liaison Office (CPLO) and the Rural Education Access Programme (REAP), on ‘Removing the barriers to access and success in higher education’. This briefing paper draws on the presentations made by the speakers and the general discussion that followed.
