Is the Department of Education and Skills the final filter when it comes to the GLOBE projects, whether coming from NASA or wherever? Do we have a protection in place there for what is entering the curriculum in a school? As a parent, I would have thought that was solely under the remit of the Department and that I did not have to worry about anyone else. In light of recent reports, I was quite concerned. I am wondering about the protections there in terms of who has the final say on what gets into our schools and is on the curriculum in our public schools.
