General Scheme of the Higher Education Authority Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Tanya Kenny:
On the question of research, the general scheme of the Bill is intrinsically bringing research into that and the HEA's powers for instance in relation to governance and oversight apply to research activity also. It is putting parity of treatment on educational provision and research activity.
On the performance frameworks and performance agreements, the flexibility is there for the institutions that can prioritise research.
