Charles Larkin and Jacco Thijssen discuss education policy in today’s Irish Times. From the article:
Universities in this country no longer view their role as being driven by outcomes or the end result of the market. Outcome-driven higher education is about making education fit with the regional socio-economic norms and global educational requirements. Ireland’s education system needs to take account of the demand for international comparative advantage, at institutional and individual levels.
