Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Public Service Performance Report 2022: Discussion

It is one of the areas because generally across the board in terms of education at both primary and secondary and tertiary level, Ireland performs really well. We have a track record of which we can be really proud. We would always like more investment and to have more places and future long-term funding and all those things, but we perform very well by an international comparison in terms of education. The one area in which I would like to see improvement is lifelong learning. We are middle of the pack in lifelong learning participation rates. There was some reporting on it during the earlier session but not in the documentation I have in front of me. I was wondering whether the Department reports on that.
