Investment required to provide relevant education for all

Substantial investment is required to ensure that everyone can access relevant education throughout their lives.  This requires further funding at all levels, and in particular Early Childhood Care and Education, adult literacy and Lifelong Learning.

This investment should be used to develop (i) Ireland's Early Childhood Care and Education infrastructure, (ii) ensure there are sufficient places available for all students at primary level, second level and third level, (iii) invest in adult literacy and (iv) increase participation in lifelong learning to at least the EU average.

In the run up to the election Social Justice Ireland has produced a short briefing on Education outlining some key challenges and policy recommendations.  To read more on this issue please click here.
