EDUG 370: Education Working Group

Terms of reference

The European DDC Users Group (EDUG) - 370 Education Working Group

exists to improve the 370 Education provision for works in the discipline education in Europe;
gives recommendations to the EPC and the Dewey editorial team;
reports about proposals at EDUG's annual business meeting.

Topics for consideration include:

Representations of levels of education.
Provisions for topics in the primary school curriculum (and feedback on the working assumption that topics in the secondary curriculum should continue to be classed in 001-999 + 0712 in that they are often pedagogically reduced versions of the specific subject).
Treatment of issues in comparative education, with a special focus on the presentation of policy issues related to education and the state in 379.
Suggestions for additions and changes throughout 370 Education.
