Abstract

This chapter traces the development of vocational and technical education in Ireland from its introduction in 1930. Technical education was formally introduced into the education system in 1899. The development of vocational and technical education was closely linked to economic and social change. For most of the period, vocational and technical education was under-valued both in terms of its contribution to education and to the economy. © 2016 The Author(s).
