Interview with Claire Welsh - Primary Schools Programme Manager

ER Can you differentiate between types of parents? Maybe in terms of their backgrounds or?

CW I suppose there are tend-, yeah they're probably, I'm sure there are tendencies for some people to be more - Yeah, I mean, you, you, you get some parents who would, who would be more pushy about the education side of it than others.

I don't, it's difficult to know in that, cause sometimes, I was going to, I was just about to say someone, you know, someone with a science degree or something but then you can, you can get the opposite because you can, you can get someone with a really good science background, who appreciates that if they can get their child, enthusiastic or, wanting to have a go with things then that in the long run, is going to be, generate an interest in science. So I think it can work both ways, really.
