Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:20 pm on 11 January 2017.
Minister, in the sort of reverse role from my colleague from Neath, I recently met with the Institute of Mechanical Engineers who had a programme that was encouraging teachers to actually go out into the workplace and gain understanding and knowledge of the engineering and STEM areas, funded by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers as well. Will you be looking at such schemes to ensure that we’ve got teachers in the classroom who can then be enthused to actually drive the agenda forward for more STEM and more engineering graduates and people taking up those professions?
