There was a time when International students could take solace in Maths because they didn't encounter the language barrier. That was taken away with the promotion of context in mathematical tasks. This project also highlights impact for dyslexic students.
A very interesting and award winning project by a Cork student @bandongrammar at @BTYSTE about #JuniorCycle #Maths and students with dyslexia. Will SEC & NCCA take note? #edchatie #BTYSTE #BTYSTE2024 FAO all Maths teachers @ImtaBrendan @imtanational

A friend of mine has students doing a project for the @BTYSTE and they need your help with a survey on tyres. If any motorists could take 2 minutes to fill out this form, and then RT, that would be great! #YoungScientist

As part of our BTYSE 2024 project, we are surveying a sample population to determine peoples knowledge regarding tyre pressure imbalances and it's effects.

€3 million per year is spent on Food Dudes...😬 Every year the feedback from pupils, parents & teachers, is the same: a box-ticking exercise, that ultimately creates food waste, and turns children off trying F&V. @Bordbia please listen to the feedback & overhaul Food Dudes 🙏

Food dudes - what a waste. The idea behind it is good but how about local food producers visit local schools with fresh produce?? Mud and all? Waste is unbearable 🥴
