Technology at A Level: Getting It Right
The Technology at A Level: Getting it Right report followed on from the Technology in the National Curriculum: Getting it Right report and was written by the same authors. When it was written, in September 1992, no technology subjects were studied at A level standard, leaving a big gap between the National Curriculum work studied from 5-16 and the subjects studied in higher education.
The report puts the case for developing technology subjects for students aged 16-19 and makes recommendations for implementation.
