Access to Further Education prospects

This survey aims to collect information about the current level of education and future educational aspirations of people in Direct Provision and in the asylum process.

The information will also inform the design of an educational fund targeted for those living in direct provision looking to advance their education or skills. This data, without revealing your identity, may be used in a public document.

If you would like help or want to raise a particular concern about post leaving cert progression or access to third-level education, please email info@masi.ie and provide a brief description of your enquiry, your name and number and we will get back to you.
