| education system in ireland: Radical Reform in Irish Schools, 1900-1922 Teresa O'Doherty, Tom O'Donoghue, 2021-07-16 This book examines the radical reform that occurred during the final two decades of British rule in Ireland when William Starkie (1860–1920) presided as Resident Commissioner for the Board. Following the lead of industrialized nations, Irish members of parliament sought to encourage the establishment of a state-funded school system during the early nineteenth century. The year 1831 saw the creation of the Irish National School System. Central to its workings was the National Board of Education which had the responsibility for distributing government funds to aid in the building of schools, the payment of inspectors and teachers, the publication of textbooks, and the cost of teacher training. In the midst of radical political and cultural change within Ireland, visionaries and leaders like Starkie filled an indispensable role in Irish education. They oversaw the introduction of a radical child-centered primary school curriculum, often referred to as the ‘new education’. Filling a gap in Irish history, this book provides a much needed overview of the changes that occurred in primary education during the 22 years leading up to Ireland’s independence. |

| education system in ireland: Irish Speakers and Schooling in the Gaeltacht, 1900 to the Present Tom O'Donoghue, Teresa O'Doherty, 2019-08-02 This book offers the first full-length study of the education of children living within the Gaeltacht, the Irish-speaking communities in Ireland, from 1900 to the present day. While Irish was once the most common language spoken in Ireland, by 1900 the areas in which native speakers of Irish were located contracted to such an extent that they became clearly identifiable from the majority English-speaking parts. In the mid-1920s, the new Irish Free State outlined the broad parameters of the boundaries of these areas under the title of ‘the Gaeltacht’. This book is concerned with the schooling of children there. The Irish Free State, from its establishment in 1922, eulogized the people of the Gaeltacht, maintaining they were pious, heroic and holders of the characteristics of an invented ancient Irish race. Simultaneously, successive governments did very little to try to regenerate the Gaeltacht or to ensure Gaeltacht children would enjoy equality of education opportunity. Furthermore, children in the Gaeltacht had to follow the same primary school curriculum as was prescribed for the majority English speaking population. The central theme elaborated on throughout the book is that this schooling was one of a number of forces that served to maintain the people of the Gaeltacht in a marginalized position in Irish society. |
| education system in ireland: The Irish Education Experiment Donald H. Akenson, 2012 This volume focuses on the creation, structure and evolution of the Irish national system of education. It illustrates how the system was shaped by the religious, social and political realities of nineteenth century Ireland and discusses the effects that the system had upon the Irish nation: namely that it was the chief means by which the country was transformed from one in which illiteracy predominated to one in which most people, even the poorest, could read and write. |

| education system in ireland: Education as the Driving Force of Equity for the Marginalized Boivin, Jacquelynne Anne, Pacheco-Guffrey, Heather, 2022-01-14 In the USA, racism is the most widespread root of oppression. Black people in America, specifically, have suffered from centuries of discrimination and still struggle to receive the same privileges as their white peers. In other countries, however, there are other groups that face similar struggles. Discrimination and oppression based on religion, ethnicity, socio-economic status, political affiliation, and caste are just a few categories. However, education is a root for widespread societal change, making it essential that educators and systems of education enact the changes that need to occur to achieve equity for the groups being oppressed. Education as the Driving Force of Equity for the Marginalized highlights international research from the past decade about the role education is playing in the disruption and dismantling of perpetuated systems of oppression. This research presents the context, ideas, and mechanics behind impactful efforts to dismantle systems of oppression. Covering topics such as teacher preparation, gender inequality, and social justice, this work is essential for teachers, policymakers, college students, education faculty, researchers, administrators, professors, and academicians. |

| education system in ireland: Compulsory Irish Adrian Kelly, 2002 Apart from highlighting the clash between the demands of nationalism and the role of the education system, the volume shows how criticism of the compulsory Irish policy was stifled; the resultant effect on the education system and the levels of attainment of pupils; and the attempts to apply compulsion more widely, including in competitions for public sector employment. In assessing the long-term costs of the strategy, both social and economic, Adrian Kelly illustrates the dangers in allowing ideology to win over pragmatism in the formulation of policy.--BOOK JACKET. |

| education system in ireland: Education Policy in Ireland Since 1922 Brendan Walsh, 2022-04-18 This book examines educational policy at primary, secondary and university level in Ireland from the foundation of the State to the present day. Primarily an attempt to set policy within a historical context, the book draws together compelling research on the evolution of key changes in topics as diverse as the use of corporal punishment, the evolution of skills policy in post-primary settings and the development of the universities in the post-1922 period. The book includes detailed analysis of more recent policy initiatives and changes in, initial teacher education, curriculum change, and special and inclusive education and will be of interest to those working in the various fields, students and the general public. It presents detailed discussions of change in the Irish education system, demonstrating how policy initiatives, particularly since the early 1990s, have brought about significant transformation at all levels. In doing so, the book also demonstrates that the origin of change often lay in earlier developments, particularly those of the mid-1960s. Policy development is closely linked to external factors and influences and chapters on academic selection and teachers’ recollections of policy, for example, set developments within the wider historical context employing the views and recollections of teachers so that the influence of change on day-to-day practice is revealed. |
| education system in ireland: Ireland Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 1991 The education system in Ireland, which compares favorably with that of other industrialized countries, has been under pressure throughout the past 30 years. The system has had to expand post-school education and training provisions at great speed to cope with a substantial demand for university places, to create a non-university sector catering specifically to the needs of an economy in the throes of modernization, and to allocate large amounts for capital investment despite commanding fewer resources than most other Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. A Ireland's educational policies reveals the significant progress that has been achieved since the 1960s. Current issues and problems include the consequences of rapid social and economic change. Several underlying constraints have weighed on the education system, such as the lack (at least until recently) of a purposeful central authority having the political will, the administrative capacity, and the requisite financial resources to formulate and implement reforms; the presence of powerful interest groups outside the government that have to be accommodated; and the structural complexity of the system itself. This three-part report is devoted to the specific problem of teacher supply and training and the priority attached to it. Part 1, the Examiner's Report, describes and discusses the Irish education system, raises issues, and identifies policy options. Part 2 provides a summary record of the review meeting that took place during the proceedings of the Education Committee when the Irish Delegation, led by the Minister of Education, Mary O'Rourke, replied to detailed questions from the examiners and Committee members. Part 3 summarizes the authoritative Background Report prepared by the national authorities in advance of the examiners' visit to Ireland. A number of tables and diagrams are included throughout the report. (CB) |

| education system in ireland: Schooling in Ireland John Stocks Powell, 2020 Some locations are associated by attractions such as Blarney for its castle; or a trade and manufacture, as Belfast was for shipbuilding, and Kinsale is now for restaurants and gourmets. Portarlington in County Laois, has been associated with a French speaking Huguenot colony, as nearby Mountmellick is with Quakers. These on-the-lip identities long used may diminish others. For over two hundred years small Portarlington experienced a clustering of schools: a local industry offering income from parents, employment and provisioning. French speaking schools, Latin homework under floorboards, pupils becoming famous, such as Edward Carson, Oscar Wilde's court prosecutor, and bringing the country to civil war with his struggle for the British union: the Chartist leader Feargus O'Connor, trying to elope with his headmaster's daughter. There's the headmaster whose pupils were escorted away during the 1798 rebellion, and another headmaster who took his school away, in flight and fright during the Land League of the 1880s. Histories carry wider themes, such as: how long was childhood? How was the young brain filled? Textbooks, rules and rulers. What was the value on languages, Irish? English literature? French grammar? Could Huguenot dialects be teachable? Why did sport become so important? And the poor children; too much education to make them think, spinning wheels for those girls; whereas Mrs Despard's borders not turned out to spin or cook, but to marry well. In a small town the encompassing of education in its failures, triumphs, hierarchies and finances, the ideas and faces of childhood are revealed. |
| education system in ireland: Institutional Context of Education Systems in Europe R.H. Hofman, W.H.A. Hofman, J.M. Gray, P. Daly, 2006-01-16 Based on empirical analysis using configuration theory and multi-dimensional scaling, this book provides insight into types of relationships that can be found between groups of countries with certain institutional context features, and into the quality and equity of their education system. In this volume, the authors take up the challenge of considering what a European ‘settlement’ might look like. In doing so, they take into account worldwide trends and the increasing evidence of convergence across educational systems. The outcomes of comparative analyses seem to suggest that strong education systems in terms of finance, governance and choice could be preferable. To a greater or lesser extent, therefore, all the systems of education currently in use in Europe face some common challenges. The way in which these challenges are addressed will determine the future of these systems. Key elements in the current debate that are considered in greater detail in this volume include changing views on (a) centre-local relations with signs of an increasing commitment to decentralisation as a guiding principle for developing school governance; (b) school autonomy which is now increasingly regarded as the engine-room for school improvement, especially in relation to sustaining it; and (c) the celebration of community and school choice as a means of securing higher levels of parental involvement. This volume will be of interest to researchers and practitioners working in education, educational research and sociology of education. It will also be of relevance to those interested in the comparison of various education systems and in governance, funding of education and school choice. |
| education system in ireland: Education and Enmity (Routledge Revivals) Donald Akenson, 2013-03-30 First published in 1973 Professor Akensone(tm)s book traces the series of religious and political controversies which have battered the state schools of Northern Ireland. After the governmente(tm)s admirably intentioned, but muddled, attempt to create a non-sectarian school system in the early 1920s, the educational system was progressively manipulated by sectarianism. The way in which the author describes how children are schooled reveals a great deal about the attitudes and values of the parental generation and also helps to explain the actions of later generations. |
| education system in ireland: New Turns in the History of Education in Ireland Deirdre Raftery, 2023-06-27 The chapters in this book offer a range of impressive new studies on the history of education in Ireland, based on detailed research and drawing on important sources. This book also serves to show the healthy state of the history of education in Ireland. In particular, the book also seeks to understand how both teachers and pupils in Ireland experienced education, and how they ‘received’ education policies and education change. The lived reality of education is woven through the chapters in this book, while the impact of policy on education practice is illuminated many times, and with great clarity. This book is a very important contribution not only to the history of education, but also more widely to social history, women’s history, church history and political history. It was originally published as a special issue of the journal History of Education. |
