Sorca Clarke: I thank the witnesses for their time and expertise. It is fantastic to have them here. I have a question for Dr. Sullivan. There is an acknowledgement that supporting gender equality in schools requires a systemic response. Curriculum and assessment provision is just one aspect of this. With regard to delivering this, what interaction does the NCCA have with other aspects of the...

Sorca Clarke: Mr. Slattery spoke about pathways. An issue that has been highlighted repeatedly to the committee is the lack of availability of choice, particularly in second level schools. This is having a detrimental impact, particularly on subjects that are not necessarily academic based. We have been told that from entry to secondary school students are pigeonholed and their career options are being...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Jul 2022)
Sorca Clarke: It is just a clarifying question on foot of Deputy Carroll MacNeill's question. Perhaps Mr. Slattery can clarify. Previously when I asked him about apprenticeships and availability of subjects, he referred to capacity within the school and a minimum number of students. Does that apply to the subject Deputy Carroll MacNeill was speaking about?

It is now only going to take us 132 years to close the gender gap, versus the previous 136. The figure for gender parity in educational attainment has been put at 22 years. Will we get there before that?

Sorca Clarke: I have one specific question. I thank Professor O'Hagan for her time. She touched on the importance of gender budgeting at national level but also at other levels. She specifically mentioned local authorities. To my mind, it is not just that they complement each other, but that without the overall embedding of gender budgeting what we will actually see is badly spent taxpayers’...
