Digital Strategy for Schools – Focus groups with parents

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. As part of the strategy development we are seeking the views of stakeholders.

We have carried out a survey of teachers and principals, sought submissions from the public and we held focus groups with students. We now wish to hear the views of the parents.

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.

The format of the session is set out below.

Tea/coffee will be served before the session begins and the session itself will last approximately 45 minutes. Travel expenses will be recoupable.

The session will be chaired by a moderator who will pose a number of questions to the group for discussion. Everyone will be encouraged to participate and all experiences and opinions are important.

The sessions will be recorded but all contributions will remain anonymous. Participants will not be identified in reports.

Booking Process

Participants can register online using the links contained in the schedule above. Within one week of registration participants will receive further information about the session and a consent form. Participants are asked to complete the short form and bring it with them to the focus group session.

Alternatively, those interested can contact ICS Skills on 01 775 3008 or training@ics.ie.
