Abstract
Smith provides a brief history of education in Wales, emphasising how the hegemonic relationship with England continues to contribute to contemporary curricular development. Additionally, Smith highlights how cultural restorationism has existed as an organisational theme in the continued development of an educational system in Wales. A discussion of key figures who sought to establish sustainable schooling in Wales, while still being subjected to larger concerns of church, state, personal ambition, and, at times, Welsh culture and language, highlights the intersectionality of curriculum, culture, and politics. Ultimately, this history provides the context for the establishment of the national curriculum for Wales in the 1980s, the development of the Curriculum Cymreig, and eventual devolution of educational powers to Wales in the 1990s.
