Why?
“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).
