Taoiseach Speaks At Intel 'Transforming Education In Ireland' Forum
Taoiseach Enda Kenny has delivered a keynote speech at the Intel open forum on 'Transforming Education in Ireland'.
The event was the second annual forum organised by Intel.
According to Intel Ireland General Manager Eamonn Sinnott it is “designed to bring together stakeholders in the education process and provide a platform for them to express their opinions and suggest possible avenues to improve it and keep it up-to-date so that it is adaptable and dynamic and ultimately, fit for purpose”.
The Taoiseach spoke of the importance of Intel’s investment in Ireland, embracing the future, and the “Smartclass” competition, which is run for the first time this year by Intel, the Education Company of Ireland and Steljes.
The Smartclass competition asks schools to create an e-book depicting 'Smart Class of the future - 2025'. The best entry will win a complete technology package for an entire first year of students.
