NUS-USI welcomes Economy Minister comments on enhancing access to education in NI
NUS-USI welcomes comments from Economy Minister Conor Murphy MLA on BBC The View about the importance of widening access to education. The minister rightly acknowledged that rising costs would risk making access to education and skills beyond reach for many.
