Euroscience Open Forum 2012: Statements
I draw attention to one small project in the Dundalk area which involves Junior Achievement Ireland and the firm Prometric and of which I am sure the Minister of State is aware. It uses the idea of education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics as the foundation for a rewarding and professional career and encouraging children to stay in school, telling them it is the way forward for them. The firm is funding the project and working with the schools in the area. Last year Google stated there was still a shortage of people to take up jobs. I know the Minister of State will work hard to bring this together and the forum will do much to help. We would like to work with him in whatever way we can to excite the public about science.
