| Notes: | Research by our Flickr Commons users established that Model Schools were part of the original basis of national primary education in Ireland in 1831. Model schools were set up, where older bright pupils would act as monitor apprentices and later become teachers. In 1870, model schools were replaced by 2-year residential training colleges, such as Carysfort in Dublin.
