I thank the witnesses for attending and for their very helpful opening statements. I will start with Mr. Convey. It was interesting to hear him say that when primary school students go into post-primary school, they have a lack of full understanding of STEM. What could we recommend to rectify that problem? Is it the absence of any awareness of technology and engineering or is it broader than that?
