MORE than 275 pupils from primary to secondary level this year from schools across Limerick, Clare, and Tipperary have benefited from the Technological University of the Shannon’s (TUS) access initiatives.
One such programme, Go4IT, helped Limerick secondary students who may not have considered higher-level education into positions of academic and professional confidence, the university said.
Anna Murphy, pre-entry access co-ordinator TUS Mid West said the programme “aims to introduce the concept of lifelong learning.
“It shows that education has a purpose with long term, real outcomes.”
She explained that “continual support and engagement from primary level to third level is an integral part of the programme strategy”.
