Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
General Scheme of the Higher Education Authority Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Tim Conlon:
I will add one additional observation. The HEA's ability to collect and monitor those data is very well provided for in this draft legislation. The power to collect data and to use it to inform evidence-based policy-making is very important. We do not have sufficient resources for that at the moment. This proposed legislation gives us some additional powers for collecting, analysing and using data to inform that evidence-based policy-making.
