- Published: 02 February 2010
Discover Science and Engineering (DSE) today (Tuesday 2nd February 2010) announced the launch of the Awards of Science & Maths Excellence 2010. Part of the Discover Primary Science (DPS) programme, the awards acknowledge the efforts of primary school children and teachers across Ireland who have shown an increased knowledge of science and maths. Last year, 512 primary schools won an award and it is hoped that this figure will increase in 2010.
Launched in 2004, the DPS programme has gone from strength to strength with almost all of the 3,600 primary schools across the country registered to participate today. The success of Discover Primary Science was also recognised as part of international review last year. This year, an additional focus on maths will be incorporated into the programme in recognition of the importance of mathematics in teaching science.
