Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Education and Upskilling in the Agriculture Sector
Dr. Anne-Marie Butler:
We have a lot on agri-tech, or even AI in learning and that whole area. I am the mother of a daughter in secondary school and she is often working from an iPad. There are not books in the school. She is showing her mother some of the things they are doing. It is very important that is brought into our colleges and courses and that we respond and educate students. In some schools students can do 21 subjects for the leaving certificate and many of those are subjects that certainly were not there back in my day. Many of them are also IT focused. It is a good point.
