Education
Carrigeen Primary School celebrated its Centenary in September 2000. Carrigeen is the third school in this area of South Kilkenny. Clashroe and the present community hall adjoining the Churchyard were former schools. Carrigeen was originally a Hedge School at Portnascully or "Field of the School" where a travelling Master taught his pupils for a small charge or perhaps for nothing. President Mary McAleese visited Carrigeen Primary School on 15 April 2003.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“What education is to the individual man, revelation is to the human race. Education is revelation coming to the individual man, and revelation is education that has come, and is still coming to the human race.”
—Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1781)
“Do we honestly believe that hopeless kids growing up under the harsh new rules will turn out to be chaste, studious, responsible adults? On the contrary, by limiting welfare, job training, education and nutritious food, won’t we plant the seeds for another bumper crop of out-of-wedlock moms, deadbeat dads and worse?”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
“Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
