Studying medicine should not be accessible only to the elite.

Ireland’s flawed leaving certificate affords so few working class students to study medicine. Graduate Entry medicine with finance options was a way to diversify our medical workforce.

The Leaving Certificate already puts students under undue stress.
 
Blaming Leaving Cert grade inflation as one of the major reasons is a rash move.

In reality, it is the cost and lack of student accommodation, cost of education and long commutes which are the major factors.

No matter the result, you put in the work - your Government hasn't.

After all your hard work, you deserve the best future beyond #ResultsDay2023

Make some noise and join the movement.

Highlighted yesterday how the government’s reliance on digs is a band-aid solution to the student housing crisis.

With no legal protections in place for digs, students are left vulnerable to exploitation

Let’s treat the Rent a Room Scheme re-introduced by Simon Harris TD as what it is. It’s an opportunity for homeowners, presented on a €14,000 silver platter, to exploit students.

Listen to Colette outline the issues we have been raising for years about this.

USI VP for Welfare, Colette Murphy, was on the The Last Word yesterday to discuss the on-going student accommodation crisis

Colette spoke about how if government is going to rely on digs, then we NEED laws to ensure students are treated properly
