Dr. P?draig MacNeela:

On the figures for uptake in higher education, almost all higher education institutions are working with this, so there is a level of consistency there at the orientation level when students are entering college. That is good but there is more to do. We want more depth and learning. This year we are starting to pilot a champions training. This will ensure there is a cohort of student leaders who can take it to the next level. We want to see those students acting as facilitators and being actively involved in training. The higher education element is at a certain point in terms of its development. The number of pupils in post-primary schools is good but there are so many more who need to be reached.
