Education is the key to your children’s future. Even if you don’t have to pay huge school or college fees, there are still many significant costs involved in putting a child through education. Expenses such as books, accommodation, travel and registration fees, all these can hurt your pocket and become a real burden.
The Cost of Third Level Education
If you’re planning on third level education the costs are even higher. For example, the cost of rented accommodation all over the country has soared in recent years. This means that for a student living away from home, expenses can be over €750 per month. If you include registration fees the total cost of the 9 month academic year is €7,471 (source: Costs of College Survey, Union of Students in Ireland, July 2004)
