Mr. Barry Convey:

On the time afforded to teachers in schools to collaborate, share ideas and identify opportunities to collaborate, a student studying engineering, physics, maths and maybe computer science, all at higher level, will be very well placed to handle the type of content to which he or she is exposed in tertiary.

The Department needs to put the resources and support in place for post-primary teachers to have meaningful conversations and to participate in interdepartmental meetings to plan for these collaboration opportunities.
