TG1: The Policy Context of Educational Development
The activities of this group will be directed at enhancing understanding of the various influences that shape tertiary level educational development, nationally, regionally and locally, and of current pressures and issues. These are of critical importance in seeking to scope the competencies and skills required of tertiary level educators. Although some of the information can be sourced from public documents and web sites it will also be necessary to access key individuals within institutions in order to obtain a richer picture. A robust structure for reporting will be developed to facilitate the making of comparisons and the identification of similarities and differences.
