dc.description.abstractThe Investment in Education Report (1965) has been described as “one of the foundation documents of modern Irish education" (Coolahan 1980). It was a landmark report and was subsequently described by the OECD (1991) as "remarkable for its comprehensiveness, its studied detachment, its theoretical underpinning, its systematic accumulation of a mass of baseline data ... and not least for the originality of the methods that it used to penetrate unexplored territory". While Áine Hyland (née Donlon) was not a member of the Investment in Education team, she was research assistant to the team from its inception in September 1962 to September 1964. It was her first introduction to rigorous research and statistical analysis and she prepared most of the tables in the Annex and Appendix to the Report and the tables which formed the basis of the report itself. She subsequently married Bill Hyland, the team's statistician. Her recollections and reminiscences of that period were published in Irish Educational Studies Vol. 33, available at the following link: https://cora.ucc.ie/items/24cb9303-c6a2-4df4-8274-dccbefde5287 en
