Presented and produced by Seán Delaney.
This week I speak to Dr. Brian Fleming, a retired school principal and author of Irish Education 1922 - 2007: Cherishing all the Children? Among the topics discussed during our conversation were the following:
- Who he spoke to in writing the book
- Where the power lies in education today
- What can be done to reduce inequality in education
- How the insertion of a single word, “for” in the Irish Constitution shaped the government’s role in education
- Provision for reducing disadvantage in the 1998 Education Act
