This case study focuses on the journey and progress to date within the Irish education system to redevelop the national primary school curriculum. While the redevelopment process focuses on all aspects of curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment, a particular focus is placed on elements relating to whole-child development. Central to this is an exploration of provisions for enhanced child and teacher agency regarding curriculum and pedagogy in classrooms and schools. The key tensions in the shift from a detailed and prescriptive curriculum to a curriculum framework--and the interface with policy and discourses prioritizing literacy and numeracy while maintaining an emphasis on whole child development--are explored.
