Question:28 Mr. D. Wallace asked the Minister for Education the participation rates in third-level education overall and on a county by county basis. [9617/96]
Written Answers. - Third Level Participation.
The estimated overall national admission rate into higher education for 1994-95 is 41.9 per cent of the appropriate age cohort. The most recent available data on the rates of admission to higher education as percentages of the age-cohort by county are contained in tabular format in the interim report of the technical working group of the steering committee on the future development. This report was published by the Higher Education Authority in January 1995 and it gives data for 1993. I will arrange to have the data circulated in the Official Report.
