Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Barry Convey:

It is, and it is great to have the support of local industry and investment from local companies. However, that leads to an ad hocapproach to the delivery of STEM. It is not a nationwide, collaborative approach to delivering STEM to all of the students across the country. On our open nights we are seeing that students do not know what the STEM subjects are. We call upon the Department to conduct a national campaign to make sure all students are aware of what STEM is.
