New World, New Skills NI

In this episode we look at the dichotomy at the heart of the Northern Ireland education system. On one hand it delivers more young people to university than any other UK region yet we also have the highest number of people between the ages of 30-34 who haven’t completed post-primary education. We discuss this with Prof Tony Gallagher from Queen’s University Belfast and Justin Edwards from CCEA and ask: is it time for a grander vision?
