Minister for Education and Skills

Legislative amendments are necessary to facilitate the introduction of the International Education Mark (IEM).  These amendments will be contained in the Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Amendment) Bill.  The Heads of this Bill are currently being prepared by my Department in consultation with Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI).  It is anticipated that the IEM will be introduced in 2018.
