Timeline for a primary curriculum pilot
Quill asked when a pilot programme might begin. The Minister expected the Review Body to report 12 to 15 months after October 1987, then planned to consider its findings and develop a pilot project.
The Minister has assured us that this new board are up and coming at a rate I had not realised; they are up and galloping. How soon can we see a pilot programme in operation in one of our primary schools as a result of this acceleration of development and assessment of the curriculum at primary school level?
Comment on this
The Deputy is talking about the Primary Curriculum Review Body. As she said, they are up and doing their work. I have asked them to report to me in 12 to 15 months. That was in October so perhaps by December 1988 or the following January they will report.
