The Steering Committee on the Future Development of Higher Education was established under the aegis of the Higher Education Authority to advise on the future development of the higher education system.
The committee's published report is based on a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the demographic and policy framework and a thorough examination of the needs of all regions, including Waterford. The report of the steering committee takes account of the interim report of the technical working group which was established to support the steering committee and carried out research to facilitate the committee's consideration of the range of issues involved.
