Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Junior Certificate History Curriculum: Discussion

2:40 pm

Ms Breda Naughton:

We will agree to disagree.

We are trying to push it. The consultation process in English marks the start of consultation processes on all subjects and they will each be given the same importance as those on the subjects being developed. What is happening in the case of English is an example of what will happen in the future. I will ask Mr. MacFhlannchadha to talk about the role of teaching history into the future.
