Trainee teachers outraged at €650 charge to attend virtual Gaeltacht independent.ie - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from independent.ie Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Around 1,750 Hibernia students are impacted, with 800 due to qualify in 2021 and around 950 in 2022.
Student teachers attend the course for a two-week block each year but, as they missed out due to Covid-19 restrictions last year, some will have to complete four weeks of the online Gaeltacht this summer, meaning they could be paying up to €1,300.
In a letter to students sent yesterday, Hibernia College founder and president Dr Sean Rowland said: In early January, it was brought to our attention that the proposed fee for the two-week online programme would be in the region of €650 and that all students from State colleges would receive a re-instated student grant to cover this cost.
