The Higher Education Authority (HEA) is responsible for the funding and oversight of the higher education sector. The legislation governing the HEA is 50 years old and in that time there has been a transformation in the higher education sector.
It is important that robust and refreshed legislation for the higher education sector is put in place.
A report on recent developments in the reform of the legislation has been published.
