Dr. Ruth Freeman:

It is certainly a challenge given the time that is available to teachers. We have hundreds of schools where we have teachers taking up the Curious Minds programme but also hundreds of schools where they are not taking it up. In working with our colleagues in the Department of Education, we believe the provision of more regional co-ordinators is the key support that is needed to work with schools. Rather than reaching out to them through email or post and inviting them to take on these initiatives, we believe they need more support because of the constraints they currently have. We aspire to grow those supports through the regional education hubs.
