DESIGN EDUCATION AT SECONDARY LEVEL: A design council report of special relevance to industry

Abstract

During 1980, training officers received (or not!) copies of a substantial number of official reports, discussion papers and the like which they should have found important to them. In the early part of January, for example, there were three issued in rapid succession. It would not be surprising therefore for a busy training officer to have missed reading the Design Council Report, DESIGN EDUCATION AT SECONDARY LEVEL, or, having skipped through it, to have missed its potential significance for industrial recruitment and training — ‘potential’, because, without action by industrial training staff, the education service is not going to produce the next generation of recruits with the skills, aptitudes and basic knowledge which we could and should be asking for.
