            Z1.3.2 Third-Level Educational Attainment

            There is a growing recognition that the current model of higher education that sees very
            large numbers of young people proceed directly from school to third-level education
            might not best serve the countries future skills needs and might not be the best fit for
            student needs. Having said that, in 2016 all of the EDs in Co. Louth returned a proportion
            of  their  population  with  third  level  education  exceeding  20.  Those  EDs  that  exceeded
            35 are Haggardstown (46.72), Carlingford (41.40), Termonfeckin (38.72), Monasterboice
            (38.64), Dysart (37.83), Ravensdale (37.36) and Mullary (36.88) Those that exceeded 35 are
            noted in the figure below.
