I met with the General Secretary of the TEEU on 13 February to discuss the issue of the payment of the Annual Student Contribution by apprentices for the time they spend in Institutes of Technology. Arising from this meeting, I asked officials in my Department to meet TEEU to discuss any hardship issues that might arise from the payment of the contribution. Officials have met TEEU on two occasions since that meeting.
