13. The National Strategy for Higher Education
recommends that if Ireland is to raise levels of
lifelong learning and higher education attainment,
more is needed in terms of increased
flexibility and innovation, broader routes of
access and a model of funding that supports all
students equally, regardless of mode or duration
of study (HEA, 2012, p.6).

with strategic partners to
develop the most appropriate
educational solutions for local
problems.
