Abstract
Let me begin with a few reflections on the less than happy state of
affairs in teaching in Ireland in the last few years. When we think of
the contrasting responses among Ireland's teachers to the
developments that have taken place in the profession since the issuing
of the 1992 Green Paper Education for a Changing World (Govt. of
Ireland, 1992), the spectrum of belief, outlook and hope described
above by Dickens springs to mind. Looking back over the history of
Irish education, it is hard to recall a time when teachers took such
fundamentally differing standpoints among themselves in analysing
current developments in the profession and in discerning its future
prospects.
