I see it through my children going to school and their different ways of talking about STEM. They do more practical work and are given a few weeks to do little projects at home. I see it more in fourth, fifth and sixth class. It is interesting.

Someone mentioned transition year. I am not sure who spoke about it. What more should we be doing or how can we do more to introduce more learning in transition year? Some schools use transition year very effectively; others less so. I know something is happening in the Department of Education to streamline the approach to transition year. What is the importance of transition year and what should we be doing to ensure it is more streamlined?
