Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Education in Developing Countries: Discussion

Ms Jane-Ann McKenna:

There were a few questions there. I will start with your question with regard to quality, Chairman, because it touches on Senator Craughwell's comment regarding outcomes and what we are measuring in the context of quality education, and that it is not just about access but about the long-term impact we are having. I will hand over to Fr. Bird to comment on how we are measuring or able to measure quality education and what it looks like in practice with regard to SDG 4.
