Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Apr 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Apr 2023)

Rónán Mullen: How might the centre deliver on this and how do any of our guests think schools should approach it? Is it approached through religion class or ethics classes, or should it be handled by teachers of science? Thoughts, please, because we did not discuss the ethics side very much.
