British School Technology

Abstract

Editor's Note: Many readers of Studies in Design Education Craft & Technology have participated in courses conducted by British School1echnology. We believe that they and many others will be interested in this new, highly detailed and illuminating excerpt from the report on the Centres at Trent Polytechnic and Carlton and in the conclusions reached.

British School Technology (BST) was formally launched on 1April 1984 with a Central Government grant provided by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Manpower Services Commission (MSC). The Government grant was to act as a pump priming over the first three years of operation and BST was charged with moving towards a self-financing operation from 1 April 1987.
