Vol. 450 No. 4

Written Answers. - Data on Post-Leaving Certificate Courses.

Noel Ahern

Question:

66 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Education the number of students doing post-leaving certificate courses nationwide and in Dublin; and if the £2 million decision on fees will cover all payments currently made by post-leaving certificate students to their college. [5088/95]

There are at present almost 18,000 students on post leaving certificate courses nationwide, of whom almost 8,400 attend schools and colleges in Dublin City and County.

I am providing £2 million this year to abolish any tuition and material/ equipment charges, levied by schools, for these courses. It is not the intention to provide for certification/registration charges of professional or certification bodies.
