Our guests emphasised several times the challenges for our education system. It strikes me that our emphasis on memory-based assessment is a real obstacle to changing the way we think about using various technologies. What are countries that are trying to prepare children for this sort of transformation doing in terms of curricula and assessment that we might learn from? Our guests also spoke of us taking a leadership position in implementing the new regulatory regime and trying to turn it from principles into action. How well equipped are we to do that? We have had Coimisiún na Meán before us previously. Would it need to be substantially beefed up from where it is now, if that were to be a realistic ambition? Would it have to poach staff from the likes of Accenture and EY to establish that sort of a base?
