An implementation oversight group for the National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030 was established over a year ago and is chaired by the Secretary General of my Department.

Nominations for membership have been provided by the Department of Education and Skills, the Higher Education Authority, Irish Universities Association, Institutes of Technology Ireland, the interim Qualifications and Quality Assurance Authority of Ireland, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.

The Implementation Plan is published on my Department's website along with a progress report outlining priority actions, the progress to date and timelines for further implementation. Significant progress has been made on a number of key priority actions identified.
