		And as adult education grows out of a critique of the educational system we need to be careful that we are not just uncritically plugging the gaps in a faulty system or providing more schooling.

		One thing is for certain, until we stand up and begin to promote a vision of education as a social right for all rather than something reserved for those that can pay and for business interests to exploit, we can expect the inequality to continue.

	OECD Review of Higher Education in Ireland
		It is implicit in what has been said of the role of higher education that the agencies, organisations and institutions involved must themselves be open, must be capable of continuing bold innovation, yet be subject to the rigour of critical evaluation.
		However, it remains the case that the professional training and development of staff in higher education in the Republic of Ireland is still dominated by personal mastery of the academic discipline or specialism.
		Further, by requiring local institutions to operate in international educational markets, it ensures a serious and continuing challenge to their own standards and quality--to the benefit of all stakeholders.
