MORE than 275 pupils from primary to secondary level this year from schools across Limerick, Clare, and Tipperary have benefited from the Technological University of the Shannonโ€™s (TUS) access initiatives.

One such programme, Go4IT, helped Limerick secondary students who may not have considered higher-level education into positions of academic and professional confidence, the university said.

Anna Murphy, pre-entry access co-ordinator TUS Mid West said the programme โ€œaims to introduce the concept of lifelong learning.

“It shows that education has a purpose with long term, real outcomes.”
