Dr. Anne Looney:

We already have a track record in terms of when the curriculum and assessment innovations around mathematics occurred and we wanted to have more students taking higher level maths. Where there was not a higher level maths teacher available, many schools already took the initiative to connect a school to another school using the broadband service so the higher mathematics teacher in one school was supporting maths in another. Within the ETB sector there are teachers teaching physics who may be sharing with another school, and certainly within the post-primary level with good support I see no reason that could not happen.
