Extracts from formal Ministerial statement
Welcome
We are delighted to announce that the Educational Research Centre has been established as a statutory body under Section 54 of the Education Act, 1998. As the Centre enters this exciting new era, we look forward to continuing our collaboration with students, teachers, parents and other national and international educational agencies. To reflect this new chapter, our website has recently been re-designed.
The Educational Research Centre was established on the campus of St Patrick’s College, Dublin in January, 1966.
The setting up of the Centre was a means of widening the scope of, and making for greater continuity in, research efforts in Ireland.
The Centre works at all levels of the education system, from pre-school to third level.
