Here for Irish Primary Educators

"I believe we can collectively make the Irish education system the best in Europe"

Richard Bruton, former Minister for Education

My name’s Simon and I’ve been running Anseo.net for almost 20 years. It’s probably about time I hosted a newsletter.

I don’t want it to be just any run-of-the-mill newsletter. I want to make sure I send you things that you’ll find interesting, make your blood boil, inspire your classroom practice, or all three.

Plus, I want to make sure you catch every episode of my podcast, ‘If I Were the Minister for Education.’

However, I also want to create a space for discussion away from the gotchas of social media because I believe if we ask big questions and cause some polite disruption, we could genuinely have the best education system, not only in Europe, but in the world.
