The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Mary Kelly:
I agree that it is something we can do. All of us in third level will be able to offer micro-credentials. That will be a huge opportunity to be able to stack.
The other aspect that is important is lifelong learning. For example, just because I have done a degree does not necessarily mean that I am finished. I can go back and specialise in a particular area. We need to think about all of those sorts of things.
