We are introducing a new pathway to a third level degree outside the “points race”. Really excited about the potential of this to transform lives and ensure people can reach their potential. More to follow later but here’s a clip of me outlining it on Morning Ireland.

@DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @ETBIreland @FineGael More great news! As a teacher and parent, I'm excited to hear about these new pathways!

@DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @ETBIreland @FineGael I like this idea. I like it a lot. Back in my day it was *You'll never amount to anything, you may as well go to Art School*

@DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @ETBIreland @FineGael 👏Well done for making a start on this huge issue.

@DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @ETBIreland @FineGael Sounds great. Always a good move away from the points race. I have a LC2024 student who will be very interested in this route to 3rd level.

@DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @ETBIreland @FineGael Brilliant idea. Make it an even playing field for all.

@DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @ETBIreland @FineGael A hugely positive development in education - well done 👏👏

@DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @ETBIreland @FineGael What is a woman? What is a hate crime? Why does Ireland 🇮🇪 still have a man who is peadophile and raped his four year old step son, plus a man who threatened to violently rape and kill his mother in its women’s prison in Limerick?

@DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @ETBIreland @FineGael And yet the Square Wheel leaving cert keeps rolling on.

@DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @ETBIreland @FineGael This is a fantastic initiative, we’ll done Simon 👏👏

@DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @ETBIreland @FineGael Great idea, all barriers to children learning should be removed.
