[…]students from overseas. Colleges are more than ever in the business of filling classrooms, and the rules allow non-EU students to be shaken down for much more money than EU students. Students from overseas pay enormous fees to study in Ireland, and Brexit may well make Ireland even more attractive. – USI has always welcomed students from across the world, and entirely understands the attractiveness of Ireland as a place to study. We are concerned by the prospect of students from overseas being exploited to alleviate the underinvestment in Ireland. As supporters of the local economy in this country, we […]

[…]a Friday and would be far more preferable than later in May. If the Government want this to pass, then they need to be practical when selecting a date. It cannot be discounted that during this semester USI students’ unions and LGBT societies registered more than 20,000 students to vote. 20,000. Considering the referendum on divorce was passed by less than 10,000 votes – it’s fair to say that students and a medium sized college have the power to sway this referendum. It is particularly crucial that we maximise student turn-out when we know from poll after poll and referendums […]
[…]forefront of change and progression in every society. On the 23rd May 2015 Ireland had affirmed to the world what it means to be a modern republic. Since the marriage referendum in Ireland, students have become aware that they can change the world through politics by becoming actively, meaningfully and substantially involved throughout political parties and beyond. Today’s youth engagement is not indifferent to politics – it is simply different to previous generations. Today’s students don’t absorb the propaganda-influenced media. They see through the heavily-edited, scripted politicians. They reject injustice and inequality. A century ago, Ireland was going through a […]

[…]There isn’t really a solid knowledge bridge from second to third level, or from third level to the world of work, so it’s really important that initiatives like the Slingshot Academy and gradireland #FYI exist to help students think about their career choices from an early stage.” gradireland #FYI meets a clear need for early-stage career engagement for Ireland’s students, educational institutions and employers. Supporting careers to reduce College dropout rates Recent HEA data shows that 6,414 students dropped out of their first year courses at third level institutions across Ireland between 2012 and 2014.

[…]to college, and disable upward mobility. SIPTU Education Sector Organiser, Karl Byrne, said: “The Times Higher Education world university rankings is regarded as the most influential list of top performing third level institutions in the world. It is deeply disappointing and reputationally damaging that no Irish university has made it into the top 200 in this year’s list. Such a failure means that Irish universities will face greater problems attempting to attract research investment and overseas students. These issues will damage the ability of the sector to perform and in the long run undermine our society and economy. Urgent action […]

USI Submission to National Office for Suicide Prevention (NOSP) June 2014 Currently, youth suicide rates in Ireland are fourth highest in the European Union (National Office for Suicide Prevention, Annual Report 2012). The many and complex theories that surround the act of suicide can sometimes distance us from the simple idea that no one takes their own life unless there is something very wrong with it. It is often said […]

Ciarán’s work to delegitimise violence, promote intercommunity solidarity across sectarian lines and seek to unite people of good will in pursuit of peace is as shining a testament to his values as can be imagined.

[…]recommended ratios, they are the internationally accepted figures. And I think if anyone considers the struggles young people currently face and how many people they know that suffer from mental health issues, they would not think that one counsellor for every 2,240 students is enough. Also, it is not fair for Government to expect these services to operate from year to year, only finding out in mid-December what funding they are getting for the following year. It is practically impossible for them to plan or to hire counsellors that will sign up to that uncertainty. It’s past time that student […]
[…]said: “We hope that this will inspire many students across the UK to join this fight for the shared goal of reproductive justice in two jurisdictions on the island of Ireland. Cross-border collaboration and solidarity are central features of abortion rights activism on the island of Ireland and NUS-USI is firmly committed to this approach. Reproductive justice delayed is reproductive justice denied: we need free, safe, legal and local abortion access in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland now. The active support and solidarity of NUS and its member unions is vital to help us achieve this aim” Wexford […]
