Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

European Year of Skills 2023: Discussion

Ms Shona Healy:

There was an understanding of my needs more than the mainstream education system did. It allowed me the space to figure things out. I can wear my headphones if I need to cancel out any sound. I can apply stuff like this within my education. Another big thing is that we are all in the one room. It is a studio space for my course. When doing art, it is very much about a flow that it is not possible to get in a mainstream setting. When we are doing one module, we just work through it. There are not necessarily different classes every day. This structure works way better for me because I can focus in on the one subject and get that done rather than having to juggle about ten subjects. This is a big thing as well.
