Our Trinity Access 21 projects are working to widen participation by increasing student attainment and aspirations, and boosting teacher autonomy. This afternoon, TA21 is celebrating our achievements, launching the research findings of Phase 1 (2014-2017) and coming together with a range of national and international partners, government officials and educationalists as we kick off the 2-day 'TA21 Impact Conference' in The Foundry, Google Dublin. Follow us and read the report to see where we have been, where we are going, and how to be involved in Phase 2 (2017-2020).
