In 2006, under the aegis of Discover Science and Engineering, my Department's integrated awareness programme, it is intended to provide funding to develop a new post-primary pilot programme related closely to the new junior certificate science curriculum and complementing the discover primary science initiative. It is also proposed in 2006 to develop and pilot both subject and career focused initiatives, respectively, for transition and leaving certificate students.
