Radical Reform in Irish Schools, 1900-1922 / Progress in Mathematics (PDF)

"Timely, original and scholarly, this book is compulsory reading for anyone interested in the history of education in Ireland and the history of modern Ireland more broadly. The compelling narrative questions various invented traditions in Irish education in the period 1900-1922, shining a spotlight on the life and work of William Starkie, Resident Commissioner for National Education in the period 1899-1920. The book contributes significantly to the body of scholarship on the growth of child-centred education internationally and examines the reforms of Irish schooling during the early decades of the 20th century."
