Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion

Mr. David Duffy:

It is the ETB. It is a slightly different construct than a community, secondary or primary school with a single board of management for one school. We would have to examine that. The bigger issue is around the curricular concession for an individual school. That is how we can resolve the issue, to a large extent. If an additional subject is being introduced, it is seen as a priority. An example has been computer science over the last few years. Additional resources are provided to the school to ensure it is not robbing Peter to pay Paul.
