A
strategy for educational policy
The first 2-day meeting of the ad
hoc IUPAC
Education Strategy Development Committee (ESDC) was held at the
Royal Institution in London on 20-21 Feb 2000. Appointed after the 1999
General Assembly as a result of the Vice President's Critical Assessment,
this Committee was asked to examine the educational role of IUPAC. Particular
attention will be paid to the role of the current Committee on Teaching
of Chemistry (CTC). The ESDC will consider if the CTC needs to broaden
its horizons, to engage in a wider range of activities, and to consider
its direction afresh. In an attempt to seek strategic ideas and gather
the views of stakeholders, the Committee is encouraging all those interested
to submit their ideas by writing to the Committee Chairman, Prof. Atkins
