dc.description.abstract	This paper provides an overview of science education in Irish secondary schools over the past 150 years. It describes how the science curriculum developed over the decades as scientific discoveries were made. Until the middle of the 20th century the secondary school curriculum was biased in favour of the humanities but since the 1960s, science and technology have played a central role in Irish secondary education.	en
