Abstract
Description
The third National Access Plan for Equity of Access to Higher Education (2015 -2019) (NAP) was launched in December 2015. The vision of the National Access Plan is to ensure that the student body entering into, participating in and completing higher education at all levels reflects the diversity and social mix of Ireland's population.
The plan identifies Irish Travellers as one of the target groups that are currently under-represented in higher education. Other groups include entrants from socio-economic groups that have low participation in higher education, students with disabilities, first-time, mature student entrants, part-time/flexible learners and further education award holders. Lone parents and ethnic minorities are included as sub-groups within the main target groups.
