I would encourage Mr. Dunning to monitor it but I am aware anecdotally from some schools, and this is not the fault of his Department, that sufficient emphasis is not placed on developing modern media skills in their students. Once the resources are put in, the fault will lie elsewhere and for that reason it is well worth it. It is primarily the job of the Department of Education and Skills to monitor how successfully it is operating once it has ensured that the technical side is put in place.
