This book examines the system of Irish National Education, which was established in the 1830s as a state-controlled system of primary education intended to provide a secular, non-sectarian education. The author, an anti-Catholic critic of the system, argues that the blending of teachers and managers of contrasting religious opinions resulted in the exclusion of sound Protestant truth from the schools and that the system failed to deliver objective instruction that was free from religious bias. The book further examines how the system's attempt to promote social harmony led to widespread religious ignorance and increased sectarianism, with the state's oversight of the schools stifling independent thought and the spread of "liberal" education. The book is highly critical of the centralising tendencies of the Irish National Education system and advocates for greater local control and parental choice in education.
