The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion

Deputy O'Sullivan took my question with regard to the students, as did the Senator. I have a question for the TUI and ASTI. I asked our other witness earlier about transition year. Some schools are absolutely fantastic at getting the best out of transition year students, while other schools are not as good. We have all seen different experiences in different schools around the country. Often it depends on the teacher. I find that in a lot of schools, if there is a young, dynamic teacher leading it, they will get the best out of the transition year students. How best can we use transition year to invest in and promote STEM subjects going forward?
