Lit & Deb

Education Debate

Where:	Kirwan Theatre
When:	2010-09-30
Time:	19:00 – 22:00

The education system is supposed to be the engine of the new smart economy, which will lead us to a bright future of solving the world's problems such as cancer and global warming. Ireland is on the cusp, or so we're told, of being a genuine contender in the race to develop the latest technology.
Worldwide, the Irish education system is generally regarded as being quite good, despite being horribly under-funded. In recent years the pressure of thousands of new students has started to strain the system. At present, many believe that the wheels seem to be coming off the educational bus.
Amid talk of University fees returning, pre-fabs remaining, the question of Irish being compulsory, the escalation of the 'points race' and funding to all schools retracting, Lit n Deb asks 'Is the Irish education system failing?'
