Review of 1999/2000 Objectives

  • 1 Further improvement and simplification of paperwork – made better use of technology

    2 Review the engineering content in Primary Schools – 3%lower. (9% to 6%)

    3 Review the balance of input between Primary and Secondary Schools – secondary reduced by 6%. (33% to 27%)

    • 4 All presenters to provide synopsis beforehand – little change.

  • 5 Presenters to be encouraged to leave follow-up work/projects for pupils – not achieved.

    6 Increase the amount of ‘hands on’ work – better in primary than in secondary.

    7 Better utilisation of the school timetable framework – times adjusted by presenters to suit schools, when requested

    8 Improve public awareness of the events – some press and radio coverage prior to events, but still not great public awareness.

    •
    1. Competition for Year 11 pupils – successfully achieved and to be repeated this year – July 4 at Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars.
