Welcome

The Educational Research Centre (ERC) is an internationally recognised centre of excellence in research, assessment and evaluation in education.

The Centre carries out research at all levels of the education system.  Research is undertaken on behalf of the Department of Education, at the request of other agencies and on the initiative of the ERC itself and its staff.

The ERC provides an assessment support service to schools, supplying a range of standardised tests to primary and post-primary schools. The ERC Drumcondra tests are the leading standardised tests used in Irish schools.

The ERC also publishes the Irish Journal of Education.
