The student charge is levied by third level institutions to defray the costs of examinations, registration and student services. These costs continue to be incurred by third level institutions. On the 13 November 2003, I announced, as part of the 2004 Estimates for my Department, that the student charge will increase from €670 to a proposed level of €750. Students who are eligible for means tested student support have the student charge paid on their behalf by local authorities or the vocational education committees, in addition to any grant to which they are entitled.
I have no plans to reintroduce third level tuition fees for the 2004/05 academic year.
