Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

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

Ms Andrea Feeney:

The Deputy might be interested in the assessment for computer science. Students complete coursework, which is a digital artefact they complete over a year. Even their final assessment includes an element of digital assessment. They sit an original paper and a digital examination artefact. All 2,200 candidates mentioned by Ms Sheridan will sit down at the same time on a date in May and take a digital examination. In terms of innovation, it is one of the most innovative subjects we currently provide.
