The Chelsea project ‐ A grant of £45,580 has been made jointly by the Engineering Industry Training Board and the Leverhulme Trust to sponsor a four‐year research project (1971–1975) to investigate the relevance of school learning experience to performance and attitudes of young trainees who enter employment directly from school. The project offers a relatively rare opportunity for practical co‐operation between education and industry in this country. The investigation will be directed by Dr Erica Glynn and will be based at the Centre for Science Education, Chelsea College, University of London, which is closely associated with curriculum development and other innovations in schools and universities.
