Quinn welcomes report on transition from Second to Third level education
Education Minister Ruairi Quinn today published the HEA / NCCA report
From Transaction to Transition: Outcomes of the Conference on the Transition from Second to Third-Level Education in Ireland.Announcing the publication of the report, Minister Quinn said:
I am in agreement with the overall thrust of the recommendations in the report. There are a number of issues I have asked the HEA and NCCA to consider further in consultation with the State Examinations Commission (SEC) and higher education institutions.
I have requested the HEA and NCCA, in partnership with the SEC and higher education institutions where appropriate, to now begin advancing the recommendations.
In particular, where further exploration or research is recommended, I have asked that arrangements for this are immediately set in train. Where recommendations for change have been made, I have asked the agencies to quickly prepare and submit a more detailed implementation plan, setting out timeframes, and where cost or resource issues arise, to identify and prioritise these in the context of the overall curriculum reform agenda that I am now pursuing. I have asked them to have this done by early February.
