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.
