Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Discussion
Dr. Bryan Maguire:
That is exactly what I was going to say. Far from duplicating the bureaucracy, the intention is that the administrative arrangements for obtaining information from the universities and other designated awarding bodies about the qualifications they have on the framework will be put on a statutory basis to eliminate any uncertainty about the legal standing of those awards under the framework, because the framework has acquired additional regulatory responsibility, for example, in respect of the international education mark. It is not a duplication. It is a replacement of what has emerged and been agreed to with statutory certainty.
