DESC looking at ways to encourage more higher education
The number of Manx residents applying to study post-graduate courses increased by more than 40% this year.
Education minister Dr Alex Allinson confirmed 82 people have signed up for such courses in the 2020-21 academic year, compared to 57 the year before.
Seventy five applied for a loan from the Department of Education, Sport and Culture to cover their tuition fees.
Dr Allinson says the department is looking at ways to encourage more locals to look at higher education:
Police working to 'understand full circumstances' around prisoner's death
Peel hotel applies to become HMO instead
Afternoon Liverpool sailings cancelled
New MHKs need to learn to balance constituency and national issues
