Important public statement by Minister Mc Hugh on his commitment to placing History at the core of new Junior Cycle. Great development.
It's good to see the Minister thinks History should be a core subject for the Junior Cycle (& that the syllabus is being reviewed too) Time for history to take rightful place, Minister for Education says irishtimes.com/news/politics… #edchatie #juniorcycle #history #education
@DeirdreMacM Good meeting with the Minister for Education and the HTAI to review the position of History in the new Junior Cycle.
Congratulations to Gerry Moore, the creator of the My Adopted Soldier project that was included in today's State Commemorations official booklet.
What an honour, @jess160800 Your reflections on your My Adopted Soldier experience included in the booklet at today’s State commemoration for the centenary of Armistice Day. Thanks for the photos and, more importantly, for the project Gerry Moore #lestweforget @MASWWI

@DeirdreMacM Anne Roper's excellent and harrowing documentary 'No Country for Women 'should be shown in every History class in Ireland.
Anne Roper's documentary 'No Country for Women' should be essential viewing for AII students of history.
