The ERC has published its Strategic Plan for 2025-2030, a blueprint that will guide the organisation through the next phase of growth, innovation, and impact in the fields of education and research in Ireland. This plan builds on the ERC’s almost 60-year history of producing evidence-based research insights and high-quality assessment support services that facilitate the improvement of educational practices and policies.
This strategic plan outlines a vision to not only sustain but to elevate the role of the ERC. We aim to do more, engage further, and strengthen the impact of our work. Our five-year goals are ambitious, and rightly so. They are designed to position the ERC as a leader in educational research, while comprehensively supporting Ireland’s educational community with actionable insights and innovative assessment support services.
The strategic plan is the result of wide consultation with educators, researchers, policymakers, and learners, and reflects the ERC’s evolving role as a national leader in educational evidence and evaluation.
