Outlines the current trend towards teaching project management techniques in UK schools, focusing on the series of new project management teaching programmes in Hampshire, England, and Scotland, which are helping students to get a sense of this profession. Explains that projects have become an integral part of a child’s learning experience, and as project-based learning is used increasingly in the classroom, it makes sense to add project tools to the mix. Records that it is a universal skill and can be taught at almost all ages, using appropriate content. Describes the approaches used to teach project management in the school classroom, and pays particular attention to the influential work of the PMI Education Foundation (PMIEF) in encouraging and assisting UK schools in teaching project management skills. Includes the account in a special issue of Project Manager Today magazine partly devoted to the theme: “Training and development in project management”.Article type: ViewpointISSN: 1366-6851Reference: 40AS052
