Two weeks from today, I’ll be covering original questions across all 5 strands with #lceconomics students at the BSTAI Dublin Branch Revision Seminars in UCD. My focus each year is less on what they need to know and more on how to apply their knowledge to unfamiliar questions and maximise their understanding of theory to boost their marks, by perfecting their exam technique.

@CareyGercarey @Driscollodaniel @IrishTimes In fairness some are normal teachers as well, but moonlighting as expert reviewers or expert tutors or subject experts for grind schools. Hard to know how expert they can be in their proper classroom with their extracurricular activities!

If the government decides to ban under-16s from social media, it must not deny them access to educational content on video-sharing platforms such as TikTok or YouTube, MPs say
