Government may drop college registration fees for students under financial pressure

The government will consider getting rid of the three thousand euro student contribution fee for 100 thousand students in the budget.

According to the Irish Times, it’s included in a paper looking at the cost of going to college, published by the Department of Further and Higher Education.

The paper includes several options which may improve the financial burden for students, including the formation of an emergency accommodation fund, and increasing the SUSI grant by 25 per cent.
