Abstract
The focus of this article is the Revised Programme of Instruction (1900), which was devised in the
final years of the nineteenth century and implemented in Irish national schools between 1900 and
1922. It begins by analysing the societal and educational context for the Revised Programme.
Second, the work of the Commission on Manual and Practical Instruction, which provided the
research evidence base for the introduction of the Revised Programme, is documented. This is
followed by a delineation of the content of the programme, focusing in particular on the subject
areas and methodologies. The impact of wider educational developments on the programme in this
period is then reviewed, such as the reform of the inspectorate and teacher training. The
implementation of the programme between 1900 and 1922 is then examined, highlighting
successes and shortcomings in this regard. The article concludes by drawing implications for the
contemporary context regarding curriculum planning and implementation.
