The Department of Education & Skills is preparing a new digital strategy for schools. This strategy must address new policy opportunities arising from major developments in curricular reform, digital content and new technologies. The Department recognises that technology plays a big part in young people’s lives and that in many cases young people use technology more outside of the classroom. Your views are important to us and we would appreciate if you could participate in one of the focus groups. A number of sessions which are split into (i) parents of Primary school children (ii) parents of Post Primary school children will take place across the country. Details are set out below, click the time at the venue which suits you under Primary and/or Post Primary to book.
