A new third-level system will allow students to earn a university degree outside of the CAO points system.
From September 2023, there will be 23 new degree courses across healthcare, enterprise, ICT and creative sectors in Further Education institutions. Students can then progress to a Higher Education institution to finish their education.
Simon Harris Minister for Further and Higher Education confirmed the new plan today, which will benefit students across the county. Mr Harris told RTE's Morning Ireland that the new third-level system will see a "historic change" for a wide range of Leaving Cert students by offering them more options.
