I propose to take Questions Nos. 18 and 19 together.

Work is currently underway on the development of an Entrepreneurial Education Policy Statement.  It is the intention that the Policy Statement will cover the whole of the education and training system including primary and post primary schools.

The new Entrepreneurship Education Guidelines for Schools will be be informed by the Policy Statement.
