I worked in private education for a long time. It’s all about the cash. Room numbers don’t even add up, 200 on the books and 100 in the room.
Sadly the visa for study thing causes way more problems for students as they are just here mainly for work and all the education side suffers 🙁
At times they are so blatantly there for attendance it’s comical. They fail and ride the repeat-fail ride for a few years then disappear.
University courses need to change. 4 years and a couple grand for a broad degree which will most likely have no use to you in industry other than getting your foot in the door. I’m sure Gen Z or whatever have copped on to that now. Employers value experience over education.
It is madness how we are displacing Irish students and dumbing down our third level institutions for a few quid from international students. This undermines the whole education system. Why are we paying taxes to fund an education system that is more interested in selling third level places to international students than catering to Irish students which should be the focus.
I’ll never forget a girl in my masters programme. This was in a subject that required a high degree of language mastery. This girl just couldn’t speak English. She didn’t have enough English to join in on casual conversation over a cup of tea between lectures. It felt like such a money grab on the part of the university to admit her, because she simply had no chance of passing any essay or written component.
There are two separate issues, one is using foreign students as a funding source, the other is poor validation of basic language skills.
The first is not unique to Ireland.
The second should have been determined much earlier on.
Does this article need four lede ins?
I think it’s quite poor this article only focuses on Chinese students. This is an issue with a lot of non EU countries (including India which the article seems to think is no issue).
An Irish Smurfit student posted on reddit a while ago saying that both students and lecturers have poor English, and that they were sometimes asking and having their questions answered in Hindi.
