    I don't see how a loans system would prevent this any more than a graduate tax. They are essentially the same thing after all. Now I'm not saying that I don't agree with fees and student loans and the like, but I think that your argument is a little contradictory.
    Graduate tax would be a percentage of income. Two people having had the same opportunities at college, one gets paid more than the other so pays more for their degree.
    Exactly, so if you think that everyone is entitled to an education, that surely means that government support for this is ok too?
    They're entitled to the opportunity which is what school's function should be. Once someone reaches young adulthood they should be responsible for paying their own way. I still don't see how fees with a loans system robs anyone of that opportunity to go to university/college.

    It doesn't at all. Like I said, I don't necessarily disagree with a loan system. However, you need to take into account that certain courses also cost more than others. So this isn't equal either.

    I would agree that the whole fees issue needs a lot of reform. But at the moment, I don't see a problem with how grants and the like work. Sure, they're not entirely fair, but nothing ever is.

    Can you guarantee that a loans system wouldn't rob some people from their opportunity to go to college? No. So nothing is perfect and you need to accept that the government provides extra support for some people because they need it.

    He's just saying that because he ran UCD into the ground wasting money. It would certainly exceed €100 million if he was elected provost.

    I'm completely against Graduate Tax/Loans.

    Universities are ridiculously inefficient, no way I'm paying ~€12,000 a year because they refuse to sort themselves out.

    So what? Different things cost different things.

    Main problem is that the state can't afford it. As it happens I would have little problem with keeping grants for living costs even if loans for fees came in.
    Can you guarantee that a loans system wouldn't rob some people from their opportunity to go to college? No. So nothing is perfect and you need to accept that the government provides extra support for some people because they need it.
    But how would it? If someone decides by their own logic or by their own circumstances (family business or something similar) that it wouldn't be worth going to college that's not robbing them of the opportunity to go to college. If someone decides that they don't want to pay for whatever services they wish to make use of they're not being robbed of the opportunity to go to college.

    Competition is what's needed. Once the state gets involved costs rise and efficiency falls. It works the same as the councils and when my dad worked there, every year before the accounts were finalised everything was used up, didn't matter how. When the state provides funding running a deficit means more funding. Spending less than is offered means less money the following year. There's no incentive to improve anything.

    I was just making this point to counter yours about a tax being a percentage, so if you earn more, you'll pay more for your education.

    Well depending on the implementation of a loans system, you might still wind up excluding some people. You'd have to guarantee that all people could get a loan... So, making sure that it's not a kind of thing where the gov gets the banks to start offering loans but then the banks may not give loans to everyone etc.

    I'm saying that people should pay the same for the same thing. Two people doing a law degree should pay the same, not that every degree should cost the same. If two people do the same degree why should the more successful one have to pay more for that degree? They're already going to pay more in income tax. ;)

    They should've started it last year or the year before IMO. Government could have backed the loans for the first few years providing a tempprary injection of capital to the banks, wouldn't have affected colleges' finances. Instead the money was given straight to the colleges and other money was thrown down a black hole.
    I wouldn't back a system whereby the only people who could get loans would be those who don't need them.

    Well, depending on the implementation of a graduate tax, this could also be avoided. It wouldn't be impossible to say that you had to pay tax until you paid back X amount.

    Last I read it was being mooted it would just stay at 1-2%. And if it went by paying back the same amount overall whatever you earn isn't that just a loan by another name? :pac:

    As I said though, any mooting of it has been as a tax with no relation to what you end up paying back. I'd also be looking for a rebate sine I had to pay fees for part of my course. :pac:

    I go to Trinity and I am a TAP student.

    I come from a disadvantaged area and when I first came to college I was actually shocked that people had laptops, that people had broadband in their houses and that seemingly everyone had a choice of 3 or 4 secondary schools they could have attended.

    We had one school which served everyone within a 20 mile radius. Classes were over-crowded and it was 4 to a microscope for biology, 2 to a computer for computer classes, 2 to a locker. There were always about 15 people too many on the bus so people stood or squashed in 3 to a seat.

    The teachers (god bless them) did their best to manage but when I look at it now it's appalling what the staff and students are dealing with. Without doubt my education suffered because of the conditions. Being less than well off (family of 9 with only 9 years between the eldest and youngest, only one parent working), I never could afford grinds and we didn't have a study space available. But somehow I did well and got into Trinity with 3 of my friends (first students fro my school to ever come here).

    TAP informed me that I was eligible for a bursary which helped with the exceptional costs of living away from home. They also paid for tutor to give me a few catch-up grinds in chemistry because I'm doing Science and my school didn't teach chemistry or physics.

    I have 5 siblings in full time education. I've lost my part time job. My mother is a nurse and my dad can't find work.


    So I don't care who they go begging off, I'm grateful for them for doing it. If they wanted me to appear in a video I'd happily do it.

    Without TAP I wouldn't be in college, simple as.

    OP, if you're going to complain about college wasting money, there are better targets than TAP to complain about.

    Poor* people tend not to go to college. Not because they're poor, but because in general they come from backgrounds where a college education isn't emphasized, prized etc. Lower fees, for example, didn't really change the demographics of people going into college. So, to get poor people to go to college, you need to be more active. TAP does this. It encourages them to go as much as possible, not only through incentives (like grants), but through the social support network/friends TAP provides, and all the other stuff TAP does. The cost for an individual, granted, may be high. And there are probably even some people who didn't deserve to get the course they got. In the long run though, the children of these people are probably more likely to go to college, (without assistance), and earn more money etc. So basically, for the cost of putting one student through TAP who maybe didn't deserve it, you've potentially benefited several generations of student. And so that's why TAP's worth the cost. As opposed to random societies for people from different countries. What in the shit is the point of that?

    *Poor used as a catch all for can't afford to go to college/lower socioeconomic background, whatever you want to call people who are eligible for TAP.

    Imo, what's needed is greater accountability and transparency with regard to college spending, not competition and privatisation. We do not want a system like that in America, where colleges are run for profit and charge something in the region of 50 grand a year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 651 ✭✭✭TrollHammaren


    I'm actually shocked by your attitude, OP. The idea that your "socialist hellhole" is making at least some efforts to minimise social class disparity indicates we're making small steps in the right direction.

    I'm a TAP student sitting my final year exams, and I've served as a TAP Ambassador (advocate of the TAP programme who gives talks, organises events etc) for the four years I've been in college. Let me just squash a couple of the unfounded claims being thrown around in this forum. We don't get in on reduced points, we don't get money thrown at us, and we don't get any exam accommodations unless registered with the disability service. There seems to be some confusion as to what the TAP programme is, and it's a distinct entity from the HEAR programme.

    - At entry level, TAP works in two ways. If a student in a designated disadvantaged school gets the points, they're eligible for TAP status. Each course has a requirement to allocate 15% of their places to "non-traditional" (mature, TAP, disability) students, and the TAP students are entitled to one of these places. If the student doesn't get the points, but demonstrates academic capability, they can apply to one of two foundation courses: TAP or Liberties. The TAP foundation course is run in Trinity and has its own requirements, and a student is expected to achieve a certain minimum mark in order to be considered for a place on their desired course. In the Liberties programme, the students complete a FETAC-certified course and apply through the CAO for their course in Trinity. The modules on the Liberties programme are worth CAO points, just like the LC. As far as I'm aware, there's a similar foundation course for mature students in Plunkett College (I think).

    - Once a TAP student is accepted to Trinity, they're entitled to some basic supports, and they're not instantly entitled to a local authority grant - they have to apply like everyone else. Firstly, they're entitled to free fees, and a waiver of the sport centre charge. They're given a very small bursary that comes from the same source as the student hardship fund, which means its value is dependent on how many people have applied, but it usually works out at about €120 per month. In cases of academic difficulty, they may be able to apply for a certain amount of grinds, but these are very few (the disability service also offers this service). Finally, they may be able to avail of essay-writing and maths-help workshops, much like the ones available to all students.

    So, as you can see, TAP students get nothing handed to them. We get a small amount of assistance, but it in no way makes up for the disadvantage in Irish society that prevents many students from achieving their potential. I can only hope that TAP secures enough funding to extend their scope to other disadvantaged schools not currently recognised.

    Anyway, you can have your right-wing, elitist views, but please get your facts straight before you go ranting about us dirty freeloaders.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭Sir Ophiuchus


    The OP obviously has no concept whatsoever of privilege.

    I was considering writing a big rant, but (a) TrollHammaren did it, and did it really well, and (b) I'm also doing my finals and I'm tired.

    Short version: Most privileged people are completely unaware of just how much their background/social circumstances/race benefit them, then try to claim (and sometimes genuinely believe) that their accomplishments are all their own work and denigrate the disadvantaged as "lazy" or "cheating the system".


  • Registered Users Posts: 375 ✭✭Raedwald


    The mind really does boggle about some people. "OP" your a possibly one of the most ignorant people I have ever come across.

    All of your points in your post are both unfounded and highly inaccurate.

    I would also like to thank the two above posters for coming to the defense not only of TAP students but all students who receive any assistance in college.

    As a former TAP student I can confirm that we do not receive thousands of euro a year to go to college. I receive both a small bursary from TAP and a maintenance grant that adds up to around 2000 euro over the course of each academic year. On top of those in order to get by i work part time throughout the year as well.

    I am exceptionally grateful for TAP and the chance that it has given me and while I failed to get the points for my course through the LC, I worked harder to in my year as a foundation year to get into college as I knew it was my final chance to do so.

    The academic standard required of TAP students is that of a JF level minimum as they expect you to work your socks off all year. While again i am grateful for my second chance upon entering Trinity i have proved that i am worthy of the place i have been given time and again through academic results and have not once sought the help of TAP after my completion of the course.

    I would just like to finish off by saying Thank You to the above posters for defending TAP and telling the OP that he is a complete ignorant tosser, who clearly has no sense of the world around him!:mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,803 ✭✭✭El Siglo


    Fair play to the people defending the TAP programme. I worked as a grinds tutor on a TAP-DU GAA programme, it was a great experience to say the least. Programmes like TAP cost nothing to what the College or government spends on absolute rubbish and probably have a major impact on students who otherwise wouldn't have continued in education.

    Unfortunately I agree. What he's saying is largely consistent with a few people I know, one of whom has ranted about the idea of allowing more disadvantaged students into Trinity because it would involve sacrificing our place in the League tables :rolleyes:

    Or we could make sure that people only pay fees according to their means. That would mean that our more affluent peers' families could make some contribution towards fees.

    Regardless of whether you think the college is spending wisely or not, perpetuating the elitism this college has a reputation for, a reputation that TAP is trying to shake, isn't the answer.

I can only hope that TAP secures enough funding to extend their scope to other disadvantaged schools not currently recognised.

    The bits I put in bold confuse me a little. Like I said earlier on in the thread, I know someone from my school who got the TAP programme, and did the foundation course in Trinity. If my numbers are correct (It's a couple of years ago so might be a bit off), the student was 80 points off the minimum requirement. We went to the same school, had the same teachers, had the same level of education.
    Like I said I'm all for a lot of what HEAR/TAP does, I remember in my year DCU did a 2 week grinds course for HEAR students which I wasn't accepted for. I guess my parents would have had the money to get me grinds (if I wanted to do them), so the free grinds is a good thing to help those who wouldn't have the money.
    I feel quite strongly about this because funnily enough the following year I wanted to do the course which the person I know is doing. I was 20 points short, so exceeded their score by 60 points in the leaving.
    If I was offered the chance to do the foundation year and then be able to do that course I would have jumped at the chance, but because my parents earn too much I wasn't.
    I do kind of feel they were getting in at reduced points? Or am I still missing something here?
    Maybe I'm just jealous and bitter :pac:, but in a points race system it just seems a little unfair to me.

    Just clarifying again, the points thing is the only thing that seems to be an issue with myself at the moment, but if I'm looking at it the wrong way maybe you can change my opinion!

    There's no contradiction there - if a TAP student goes through the CAO they have to get the points. The foundation course is just a fairer alternative exam to the LC, and it's pretty comparable to the A Levels that are available in Ireland (as far as I know theres only one place in Ireland that offers A Levels). The Liberties one is harder again, and you do have to work for it.

    The system isn't perfect and some people do get left out due to the need to draw a (what could be consider arbitrary) cut-off point for financial criteria. The rational is that you minimise the disparity as much as is possible to do so. You say that your parents could have afforded grids, but chances are your mate's parents couldn't, and whether you chose to avail of them or not isn't taken into account.

    I can understand that it's probably quite a frustrating situation for you, but I genuinely believe it's a trifle better than how it would be were in not for the programme providing the opportunity for talented people who would not otherwise make it to college.

    I'm sorry if I'm not very coherent - I had an exam today and pretty sleep deprived :p

    From the TAP website:
    Prospective Students
    TAP offers two access routes into Trinity College if you are a non-traditional student:

    University Access Courses – for young adults and mature students
    The Higher Education Access Route (HEAR) – for young adults only

    - At entry level, TAP works in two ways. If a student in a designated disadvantaged school gets the points, they're eligible for TAP status. Each course has a requirement to allocate 15% of their places to "non-traditional" (mature, TAP, disability) students, and the TAP students are entitled to one of these places. If the student doesn't get the points, but demonstrates academic capability, they can apply to one of two foundation courses: TAP or Liberties.
    What? You apply to TAP foundation course, OR HEAR entry. You don't do one and get the other if it doesn't work out.

    HEAR(which is part of TAP, but I just call the Foundation course TAP as it's easier) does offer students entry on reduced points - it confirms this on both the TCD website and the HEAR website.

    Once a TAP student is accepted to Trinity, they're entitled to some basic supports, and they're not instantly entitled to a local authority grant - they have to apply like everyone else. Firstly, they're entitled to free fees, and a waiver of the sport centre charge. They're given a very small bursary that comes from the same source as the student hardship fund, which means its value is dependent on how many people have applied, but it usually works out at about €120 per month.

Finally, they may be able to avail of essay-writing and maths-help workshops, much like the ones available to all students.
    Entitlement isn't the same as being given a grant. I said HEAR/TAP students always seemed to automagically be entitled to the full top-up grant, of course they still have to apply for it.

    For a TAP Ambassador of 4 years, you know **** all about it's entry requirements and eligibility to be quite honest.

    Oh and Raedwald, the foundation course isn't to a JF level (and I've looked at the exam papers for the Arts modules). It makes zero sense for it to be the same difficulty as JF academically, otherwise why bother doing the foundation course?
    It's about pass leaving cert level, but more focused on what your degree will require.

    Kevin Denny of the Geary in UCD has actually been researching this stuff. He has a few working papers looking at third level access, socioeconomic disadvantage and the effects of second level school SES on third level access. The papers are online if you search for them, the basic conclusions drawn are that the abolition of fees did little to level the playing field at the level of entry to university because, generally, students attending low SES schools simply weren't attaining the grades needed to enter 3rd level.

    Obviously his research is probably ideological in its own way but if anyone's interested

    The opinion of one poster is not that of an entire university and same could be said of any university in Ireland.
