Under the Common Travel Area arrangements, British and Irish citizens have the right to access all levels of education in either state on terms no less favourable than those available to the citizens of that state. Both the UK and Irish governments have committed to taking steps to ensure that this continues after the UK leaves the EU.

These rights will continue to cover cross-border provision across the Irish land border.
