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:
“It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“I doubt whether classical education ever has been or can be successfully carried out without corporal punishment.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“I am not describing a distant utopia, but the kind of education which must be the great urgent work of our time. By the end of this decade, unless the work is well along, our opportunity will have slipped by.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
