Ireland has a long
and honourable tradition in education. As a result of
a sustained investment in this area Ireland now has
one of the highest educational participation rates in
the world - 81% of Irish students complete
second-level and approx 50% go on to higher education.
This dynamic, educated population has made its mark at
home and abroad with international companies looking
to Ireland for hiring graduates for top notch
positions. Education is considered a fundamental right
under the Irish constitution. In recent years the
focus has expanded to include pre-school education and
adult and further education as the concept of lifelong
learning becomes reflected in the education
opportunities available within the Irish education
system.
