I have a question for Mr. Duffy. I very much agree with what he said about maths. Many people are intimidated by it in secondary school. Of course, they should not be. Those who are able to do it, may not find the ability to do it or are not liberated in order to understand it. What can be done to make it a more appealing subject to people who are going into secondary school?
