224 Ms Harkin asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will fulfil his commitment to deliver in full the revised primary curriculum by the end of 2005. [13646/04]
View answerFollowing a request from teachers' representatives, I announced that the school year 2003-04 would be a consolidation and review year in the context of the ongoing implementation of the primary school curriculum 1999. As a consequence of this initiative, the schedule for in-career development support organised at national level by the primary curriculum support programme has been adjusted accordingly. In line with this, it is intended that the training programme for the curriculum will resume in September next.
