Founder and CEO of Irish recruitment firm CPL Resources Anne Heraty has called for the Irish education system to be overhauled as it is no longer adequately preparing young people for the workplace, reports the Irish Times. “Our education system is set up for an industrial era and it hasn’t really changed in a hundred years. We need to reconsider the skills that people need because the future isn’t 20 years away, it is with us right now,” she said. Heraty said Ireland should look at how the Finnish education system works for ideas on how the Irish education sector could be improved. She also called for increased spending on third-level education to ensure Irish universities are as good as those in other countries.
