Space-does not permit the inclusion of every small project financed CC) since the Council's inception in 1964, but profiles are given on all projects whose work was finished CO before June 1972 and which have published reports or material that is now available to the public. C) Five projects-financed wholly by the Nuffield Foundation but which link closely with the work of Schools Council projects have also been included for information. C21 These profiles are intended as a brief introduction to the work of the Council's research and develop- ment projects. There is always a danger in publishing such information that it will quickly become out-of-date and inaccurate, and we have tried to strike a balance between giving a lot of information of a somewhat ephemeral nature on the one hand, and giving sufficient detail of aims, objectives, procedure and materials on the other. The project profiles I ave been arranged in the order given in Index 1. They have been grouped under twelve broad subject headings:English, Humanities, Languages, Creative Studies, Mathematics, Science, Inter-relatA studies, Special Education, Welsh, School and Community, School organisation and Resources, and Examinations.Within these groups, projects are arranged according to their reference number and going from primary up to secondary. The first two letters of the reference number represent the subject group, the first two numbers the lowest age of the children for whom the project is intended, and the third and fourth its chronological order. Thus the first humanities project for children aged eight and upward, Social Studies 8-13, is HU 08 01, and Moral Education 8-13, the most recent project in this subject group and age range is HU 08 04. A complimentary set of the profiles is being sent to all Local Education .%uthori'cies, HMIs, teachers' centres, colleges, departments and institutes of education. Additional copies are available from the Schools Council at a cost of 50p (70p including package and-postage), (75p overseas), although as the information on them is not calyright there is no objection to sheets being pt.otocopied locally by teachers' centres or schools. It is intended to update the sheets annually, and any suggestions, corrections or amendments for the next edition should please be sent to Mrs Gillian Box at the Schools Council. Readers wishing to know more about any research or development project, or wishing to inspect published materials, films or research reports are invitee to contact the Schools Council Project Information Centre, 160 Great Portland Street, London WIN 6LL.
