Klappentext zu „Radical Reform in Irish Schools, 1900-1922 “
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 inIrish 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.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Radical Reform in Irish Schools, 1900-1922 “

Pressezitat
"This volume is a most welcome addition to the study of the national school system, the work of the National Board in Ireland in the first two decades of the twentieth century and, specifically, the contribution of William Starkie (1860-1920), the last resident commissioner for national education for Ireland. ... This study is a meticulous and welcome reminder of the perils of such amnesia." (Brendan Walsh, The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth, Vol. 15 (3), 2022)
