Dr. Michael Kyle:

It is definitely getting better. One of our aspirations is that girls will make up 30% of the uptake in physics from 16 to 19. To go back to the previous point about the education element in primary schools, the head of the Institute of Physics in Ireland was at the Joint Committee on Education, Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science inquiry into the future of science, technology, engineering and maths. The report came out with ten recommendations. One of those was that there should be a STEM education module within instruction for primary school teachers. It seems there is some recognition of that. It was really good to hear that.
