Class Representative Census Project
The Class Rep Census Project was established by the National Student Engagement Programme (NStEP) in 2022 and is conducted annually, with the aim of directly asking students to share more information about themselves, and to provide us with a snapshot of the diversity of student representation in Irish Higher Education.
This data collection is carried out via a survey that is embedded within the ‘Introductory Class Rep Training’ Feedback form that is circulated to all participants of the Introductory Class Rep Training (ICRT) sessions.
Students are informed prior to taking the survey of the following:
- Their responses are anonymous,
- Their responses will not be shared with their higher education institution,
- Not all questions may apply to them, and they may not know the answer to every question, and,
- They don’t have to answer these questions if they don’t want to.
