The irony is that the school curriculum at primary level is the most progressive in Europe. There is no doubt about that. It is the only country, as the Minister of State will be aware, where the parents, the teachers' organisation, the employers' organisation, the Department inspectorate and the Department planners sat down and organised and agreed a curriculum. The curriculum was agreed by all parties the day it was published. It had never happened previously in any country in Europe. There are Ministers for Education around Europe who would give one of their fingers to get that kind of co-operation and support.
