It examines policy, pedagogy and practices in relation to widening participation and documents the progress and challenges encountered in furthering the ?access agenda? over the past two decades. Access has become an integral part of how Higher Education understands itself and how it explains the value of what it does for society as a whole. Improving access to education strengthens social cohesion, lessens inequality, guarantees the future vitality of tertiary institutions and ensures economic competitiveness and flexibility in the era of the ?Knowledge Based Economy?. Offering a coherent, critical account of recent developments in Irish Higher Education and the implications for Irish society as a whole, this book is essential for those involved both in researching the field and in Higher Education itself. . 606 $aHigher education 606 $aEducational policy 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aEducational sociology  606 $aEducation and sociology 606 $aHigher Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O36000 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O29000 606 $aEducation Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33030 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22070 615 0$aHigher education. 615 0$aEducational policy. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aEducational sociology . 615 0$aEducation and sociology. 615 14$aHigher Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aEducation Policy. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 676 $a378 686 $a32.16.28.20$2EP-CLASS 700 $aFleming$b Ted$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0932254 702 $aLoxley$b Andrew$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aFinnegan$b Fergal$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163912703321 996 $aAccess and Participation in Irish Higher Education$92540211 997 $aUNINA
