National curriculum design and technology working group interim report

A report from the National Curriculum Council (NCC). An initial consultation report in November 1988 proposed an ambitious, broad, integrated approach to a range of design and technology-related subjects explored through a wide variety of contexts. It recognised the complex relationship between the knowledge and skills and the practical aspects of design and technology. It also defined the broader requirements for IT in schools for the first time. The report also identifies the need for the extent of support needed for professional development and records the assurance of the minister that such funding would be available.
