EDUCATION MATTERS was established by Phyllis Mitchell in 1987 in response to a perceived need for  a non-partisan medium for professional educators where they could source information, express themselves independently and share ideas on policy and practice.

Originally published in newsprint, Education Matters transferred to the internet in 2000. The Education Matters website is both an information resource for education professionals and a platform for those who wish to communicate with the education community. 

In 2006, Education Matters embraced the print medium once again with the launch of Education Matters Yearbook, a 250-page publication which chronicled and analysed the key events of the year in education in Ireland. 

The yearbook was very well received and in 2017, following significant input by Brian Mooney, Managing Editor, it was renamed 'Ireland's Yearbook of Education', a title that was felt to reflect better the book's purpose and content. 

The next edition of Ireland's Yearbook of Education (2018-2019) will be launched on 13 December 2018 by the Minister for Education and Skills Joe McHugh in the National University of Ireland, Merrion Square, Dublin 2.
