Would explain the shortage of skilled trade people.

Yeah I was going to say the same thing. It’s probably unbalanced

If there’s one thing Ireland does right, it’s giving people the opportunity to pursue higher education.
I left school at aged 12, and I’m about to graduate in November with my second degree.

I think Ireland has made it rather easy to get a 3rd level degree compared to other countries.
I did an Erasmus to Germany and the level of difficulty for bachelor subjects for economics and finance was crazy compared to my course back in Maynooth.
This was in their 2nd language too.
People in my course who did an erasmus in France had the same complaint.
A lot of my course who did an erasmus didn’t get enough credits to pass so we had to do a special assignment when we returned to get a pass on our erasmus year – which was a fudge by the college.

Good to see we have decent gender parity at third level when compared to some others which skew heavily female. Although this could be due to our low rates of “Vocational” education (trades), which is a problem in itself!
