On safari from the blackboard jungle

The Employment Education Project was launched towards the end of 1976. It arose following discussions between the Industrial Association of SE Hants Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Hampshire Education Authority. They shared a concern that in recent years the worlds of education and employment had changed so significantly that there was the risk of a major breakdown in understanding between these two elements of society. The objectives of EEP in SE Hants were therefore to identify the problems which Secondary schools and employers perceived in their relationships with one another, to discuss possible solutions with them, to participate in implementing plans to address problems at a local level, and to press for action at a national level on problems not soluble at a local level.
