The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion
Jim O'Callaghan (Dublin Bay South, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Sometimes in Ireland, we opt for over-correction. We have had issues where we do not have enough focus and commitment to STEM. Is Mr. Crone concerned in any way that by refocusing significantly on STEM, we are undermining the importance of the humanities? In fairness to Mr. Crone, I believe he said in his statement that these subjects are obviously complementary. Are the humanities also being protected in schools?
