There was an early announcement this year. I am aware that it is a challenge but compared to last year there is an early announcement this year, which came in the last month, about the summer programme. The name has now changed. How can we support second level schools to engage in that programme? We now have an early announcement, we have the funding, and it is opening up for students at other levels as well including for third level for graduate teachers, and also in other areas such as therapy and healthcare and so on. There is a real opportunity there.
