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.
