IBEC to publish policy document on education today

The employers’ body IBEC is due to publish a policy document on education later today.

IBEC said the document would make a number of recommendations about reform of the education system at all levels.

The organisation said education was a key contributor to Ireland’s economic success, but that the country must build on past investment in education and extend its reach to all groups in society in order to position itself among the most advanced economies in the world.
