Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth
Curriculum Reform at Senior Cycle: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Humphrey Jones:
Our community has lots of different ways of communicating with our members. We have an enormous WhatsApp community of 1,500 people. Our Irish groups are particularly active at the moment. The level of collaboration and sharing of resources is key. A typical textbook is 500 pages long, but the biology specification is 50 pages long. There is a lot of meat to be put on the bones of this. Teachers do not have those kind of scaffolds to provide for their students.
