Dr. Ruth Freeman:

The Senator asked specifically about the teacher internship. To come back to that, there is a programme SFI is funding through its discover programme at DCU, which is student teachers as interns, the STInt programme. What that does is student teachers as they are going through their education they will do an internship in industry. It is a fantastic programme because many of those student teachers are coming form their own education and will go into teacher training education and then may go directly back to a school setting so it is really fantastic to give them the opportunity to get out and see STEM in action, I suppose. That is a fantastic programme run by DCU.
