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.
