The presentations have been excellent. Is the best practice for sexuality and relationships education to have outside facilitators coming in? In the primary school setting, there is one teacher for every class. Should teachers be given the proper qualifications in teacher training college? It might work differently in secondary schools. What is the best practice? Can the witnesses be specific about this right now? Is it best to have an outside facilitator coming in who has the appropriate qualification approved by the Department of Education and Skills?
