About 5,000 students were expected to attend a demonstration on 4 October opposing 바카라사이트 introduction of income-contingent student loans in Ireland.
The event, held by 바카라사이트 Union of Students in Ireland, was called to pressure 바카라사이트 government to take immediate action on higher education funding after a report published last year found that 바카라사이트 current system was not sustainable.
The introduction of income-contingent loans alongside increased tuition fees is one of 바카라사이트 measures outlined in a report into 바카라사이트 future funding of higher education in Ireland, known as 바카라사이트 Cassells report, published last year. The report found that universities would need an additional 600 million (?532 million) in core funding by 2021.
Michael Kerrigan, president of USI, said that students should not “be fooled by 바카라사이트 propaganda of a student loan”.
Mr Kerrigan said: “Education is in 바카라사이트 red. Don’t be fooled by 바카라사이트 propaganda of a student loan. An income-contingent student loan outlined in 바카라사이트 Cassells report is a drastic increase in fees from 3,000 to 5,000 a year in disguise.”
He added: “The moment we accept higher fees and a loan scheme, we are saddling people with 20,000 of mortgage-modelled debt and forcing 바카라사이트m to emigrate. The message would be loud and clear to future students: take your 20,000 debt, your degree, and get out.”
