Promoting Cross-Border Education
That this Assembly notes the positive work between universities and government departments on the island of Ireland to facilitate closer equivalence in A-Level and Leaving Certificate grades and the positive potential this has for increasing student mobility; recognises that barriers to student mobility across the island remain and should be overcome; further notes the social, academic and economic impact of limiting student mobility; calls on the Irish Government to engage in dialogue with the Minister for the Economy and Minister of Education to align CAO results and university admissions dates with the UCAS system to create a more streamlined university application process; and further calls on the Minister of Education to do more to ensure that A-level students are fully aware of the university course options that exist island-wide and that these are adequately promoted in our schools and students are supported in completing CAO forms.
