[Foodtech] Education for a technologically advanced nation: Design and Technology in Schools 2004 - 2007

[Tran, Lorraine I]

Using evidence from Her Majesty's Inspectors' inspections of primary and
secondary schools and focused surveys, this Ofsted report evaluates the
provision of design and technology (includes resistant materials, food,
textiles, systems and control) in the National Curriculum in the UK.

 

This report is worth browsing - there are quite a few similarities with
what is happening in Victoria, although it is difficult to make
judgements as there are no inspectors or other data collection methods
available here.
