Council For British Archaeology - Education

Education

Education has been in the forefront of the CBA's thinking since its foundation. The CBA has, for example, been closely involved with the development of archaeological syllabuses in A/S and A level examinations, and argued vigorously and successfully for the inclusion of an archaeological dimension within the National Curriculum. They continue to produce resources for the assistance of teachers. The CBA also hosts the Young Archaeologists' Club, for young people aged between 8 and 16. The Club today has over 70 branches UK-wide, and its quarterly magazine Young Archaeologist circulates to a membership of over 3,000 children, families and schools.

Famous quotes containing the word education:

    I would urge that the yeast of education is the idea of excellence, and the idea of excellence comprises as many forms as there are individuals, each of whom develops his own image of excellence. The school must have as one of its principal functions the nurturing of images of excellence.
    Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)

    There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Shakespeare, with an improved education and in a more enlightened age, might easily have attained the purity and correction of Racine; but nothing leads one to suppose that Racine in a barbarous age would have attained the grandeur, force and nature of Shakespeare.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
