View answerThe National Strategy for Higher Education recommended the development of a national student survey as a key tool in measuring the wider performance and quality of Irish higher education. The introduction of the survey is being led by the Higher Education Authority in cooperation with higher education institutions. A plenary Working Group, which includes representatives of institutions and students across the sector has been established to oversee the project and piloting of the survey is expected to commence in the coming months following completion of further work on the design and reporting arrangements for the survey.
