No, we are not.

That is the key point. We have solutions here that can work. We are not implementing or utilising the technology or the people that devise the technology, like the witness. We are not utilising it in our own country and it is being used elsewhere. That does not sit well with me. I ask the witnesses to put a proposal together with the experiences of clients, case studies, etc. as to what it would look like. This is something we can look at as a committee. I am not pre-empting but the committee will be making a report or recommendations to the Government by the end of May. We would like to look at this and give it serious consideration. The witness mentioned that it is a patented solution so it is something that could be taken on board by the NCSE or the Department of Education and implemented across the country.
