Education in Developing Countries: Discussion
Ms Jane-Ann McKenna:
One of Deputy John Brady's questions was on what Ireland has committed. We have committed over €250 million to be spent over the next five years on quality education. How we can target those who are furthest behind is yet to be seen. I will hand over to Mr. Casey to address the issue of progress made prior to Covid-19, particularly with regard to the strategic development goals and what catching up we must do now.
