Government offering to pay higher salaries to attract leading academics fleeing Donald Trump's education threats
Briefly

In response to the U.S. administration's adverse policies on higher education, Ireland's Minister for Higher Education, James Lawless, is proposing a 'Global Talent Initiative' to recruit international academic talent. This initiative aims to invest millions of euro in attracting skilled researchers and professionals by offering competitive salaries, with the government subsidizing up to half. Meanwhile, Education Minister Helen McEntee is introducing reforms aimed at reducing examination stress for students, focusing initially on better sample papers and teacher support, as part of a broader overhaul in education policy.
Higher Education Minister James Lawless will today seek cabinet approval for a 'Global Talent Initiative' which aims to pump millions of euro into bringing academics to Ireland.
The initiative would seek to attract global talent with attractive packages, including pay, with the Government agreeing to contribute up to half of salaries offered by third-level institutions.
