ESB Science Blast kicks off on Tuesday with a four-part TV series about STEM. Maths is the subject that suffered most by the absence of in-class teaching according to a survey of primary teachers. Two in three teachers (65pc) said maths was the subject most affected by school closures earlier this year. The survey was conducted among more than 230 third to sixth class primary teachers earlier this month ahead of ESB Science Blast, an annual primary school science showcase, developed by the RDS. ESB Science Blast TV will beam a four-part educational programme, featuring experiments and experts from the world of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths), into classrooms.
