Investing in people : higher education in Ireland from 1960 to 2000

"This book tracks the ebb and flow of higher education policy over a forty year period with particular emphasis on non-university higher education. Dr. White looks at the implications of the explosion in numbers going to college, examines how the Irish experience compares with other countries and speculates on the nature of the problems ahead." "Higher education now plays a central role in the personal development of most young Irish adults. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive study of the origins and growth of mass higher education in the Republic of Ireland."--Jacket
