Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Humphrey Jones:
It is not that we are covering too much. They have taken a huge amount out of what was in the old course. The overemphasis on building skills has devalued knowledge. It would be great to see a course that is still knowledge-rich, challenges our pupils cognitively and still develops those skills as well.
