Traveller culture and history in the curriculum

19th Oct 2023
In September 2018, the then Minister for Education and Skills, Richard Bruton (TD), requested the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) to undertake an audit of Traveller culture and history in the curriculum. The Minister asked that the audit would consider:
• the place of Traveller culture and history in the existing curriculum, from early childhood to senior cycle
• the current intercultural education guidelines and other resources for schools in relation to Travellers
• the opportunities for teaching about Traveller culture and history and how it
is incorporated into existing curricular subjects 
As part of this initiative , the NCCA visited our school today. Ms Katie Cowan organised the visit and 5th Class boys were interviewed today.
