Abstract

As every month passes the progress of design education becomes more evident. Ever increasing numbers of schools up and down the country are reappraising and redeveloping their curricula in terms of a design approach. As the work of the recently completed projects in design education become widely available throughout schools and form a basis for a multitude of new developments, so the initiative for further development is being taken still further forward by the Royal College of Art's Design in General Education Project which promises to explore further important areas such as the linking educators more closely with designers. The recent conference on the project at the Royal College of Art was striking not only for the number but also the range of participants. The contents of Studies in Design Education and Craft will continue to reflect the progress of these important developments not only in the work of the Royal College of Art but also in schools up and down the country.
