Dr. Anne Looney:

There is no doubt business studies is a very popular area of study and it is one of the most popular areas in teaching. I do not have the data in front of me on whether there are people without full-time jobs in business or in any particular area but, equally, business is one of the areas within the professional master's in education, PME, in which the numbers have been restricted for a number of years. There are controlled numbers in business and I think that is a recognition that we do produce a lot of business studies graduates. Overall, I think it would be taking a mallet to a nut. I am not sure it is the issue.

In terms of the technology, some of our teacher education programmes are blended in that we would have students who would be face-to-face and with new technology as well.
