His education plan was introduced in the Irish House of Commons in 1787, but because of circumstances beyond Orde’s control, it never reached the stage of a second or third reading. It is, nevertheless, an important intervention in the history of Irish education, as it paved the way for educational research and a host of fresh plans for Irish education over the following half-century, culminating with the introduction of the National System in 1831. %K Innovative, original, precedence, all-embracing, attempt at multi-denominational scheme, it set the tone for future efforts (a blueprint), Educational Innovator %G English
