Abstract

[In common with many other countries, higher education in Ireland was largely co-terminus with university education until the second half of the 20th century. The key strategic decision taking in the late 1960s was to establish a network of Regional Technical Colleges, which were to provide the bulk of additional places in an expanding third-level system. This diversified system has continued to be endorsed by government as the optimum means of catering for national needs and sustaining an increasingly successful economy.]
